Introduction
As energy costs for industrial operations continue to rise and regulatory standards tighten, energy efficiency has become a critical factor for the long-term competitiveness of manufacturing companies. In regions like Singapore, which has high energy dependency and limited local energy generation, factories must focus on reducing energy consumption. This is essential not only for cost savings but also for compliance with decarbonisation targets and for maintaining resilience in an increasingly challenging operating environment.This MasterClass is designed for professionals in production, operations, and industrial engineering, enabling them to systematically identify and implement energy-saving measures across machines, process chains, and factory infrastructure. The training emphasises practical and actionable strategies that can be utilised with existing factory systems and data sources.
A key outcome of this masterclass is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a tailored energy efficiency strategy for their respective organisations. Through a structured combination of theoretical input and practical training, participants are enabled to identify, evaluate, and implement appropriate energy efficiency measures. To support long-term application, participants will also receive comprehensive course materials that serve as a reference for continued strategic development beyond the duration of the MasterClass.
Why This Masterclass
This Masterclass equips participants with essential knowledge and practical skills to improve energy efficiency in manufacturing environments, enabling them to achieve the following gains:- A comprehensive framework for assessing and improving energy performance at various levels within the factory.
- Strategic insights into the latest regulatory developments and key strategies in industrial energy management.
- Practical expertise in data acquisition, energy analysis, and the use of digital tools.
- Hands-on training at the ModelFactory@SIMTech, focusing on factory load profile assessments, machine-level diagnostics, and advanced data visualisation methods.
- A structured approach to developing and refining a personalised roadmap for energy efficiency.
