Sustainability approach - monitoring CO2 consumption in can filling at several sites



Sustainability - almost every company has addressed this issue. Optimizing energy and resources and thus saving them are important steps to remain competitive and operate more sustainably. The use of modern IIoT platforms, such as the Pocket Factory from Quantis, enable data analyses from digitally networked bottling plants, and are an important tool for intelligent decision-making.


Monitoring CO2 consumption provides insight into current demand and whether it is within the norm. Based on this, data analysis will indicate whether a reduction in CO2 demand can be achieved.


Once awareness has been created of the areas in which too many resources are being consumed, innovative use cases can be implemented to permanently monitor and optimize consumption.


In this specific case, a customer analyzes the consumption of CO2 within a plant. The customer considers it useful to look at the CO2 consumption data of the can filling lines in all its plants. The lines are similar in design and structure, so it is possible to compare them. This makes it possible to check deviations in CO2 consumption between the individual sites. By using the Pocket Factory, the customer found differences in CO2 consumption.


The calculated CO2 parameters are presented in dashboards that are easy to read. The person in charge has the relevant data for the different sites summarized in a dashboard and can use it to get to the bottom of the causes of the deviations in CO2 consumption at his sites. In addition, limits are set for CO2 consumption so that the responsible person is informed by e-mail or SMS if one or more limits are exceeded.


Digitally networked production is necessary to be able to operate sustainably. This means that a modern bottling plant can optimize its production processes because the tools, such as monitoring and analyzing important key figures and consumption, are possible.
