Sustainable Operations
Resource Efficiency to mitigate scope 2 and/or 3 emissions by reducing energy, material and water consumption and wastage
Technology
Energy Efficiency Monitoring & Analytics System (E2MAS)
Real-time visibility of energy efficiency and anomalies
Extending existing factory setups with E2MAS
Technology
Enable real-time visibility of energy efficiency and auto-alert of process anomalies.
Features
- Identify energy hotspots and opportunities for energy efficiency improvements
- Eliminate tedious manual tasks of energy auditing and reporting through robotic process automation
Sustainability
E2MAS has since been deployed in ten companies and assisted them in their energy efficiency improvement journey. Use cases include:
- Deployment at LHT Holdings Limited
- Deployment at Singnergy Corporation
Machining Dynamics for Productivity Improvement
Technology
A milling and turning dynamics toolkits including hardware and software to be used to characterise the machining system and optimise the machining conditions directly
Features
Enabling to achieve stable cutting conditions while having higher cutting speed and larger depth of cut
Sustainability
Saving energy used by machine tools through machining time reduction of more than 20%.
Applications
Machine Learning Assisted Control of Shot Peening
Technology
An online monitoring and predictive control system for shot peening process through sensorisation and integration of advanced computation methods
Features
Detect and mitigate any potential quality discrepancy hence reducing component scrappage (material wastage)
Sustainability
Waste reduction and energy savings
Applications
Framework of sensorisation and predictive control system can be applied to another manufacturing process
(IAF-PP ongoing)
Deployment of E2MAS at LHT Holdings Limited
Improving manufacturing equipment energy efficiency in timber industry
Power meters have been installed at the pallet assembly and polishing machines. Energy anomalies are detected while energy efficiency gaps are quantified.
Hotspot analysis allows LHT to understand day-to-day energy usage of its manufacturing processes and embed best practices in energy management.
As a mobile application, E2MAS shows the real-time capability of energy efficiency monitoring and analysis. Reference days with the respective operating conditions are provided as guidance on achieving the best.
