Plastics & packaging: lower cost per kilo produced.
Every machine has its own energy per kilo, chillers often run colder than needed, and scrap is energy paid for twice.
Where the money goes
Energy per kilo, per machine
Barrel heaters and drives compared machine to machine and shift to shift.
Chillers and cooling
Chilled water colder than the process needs costs every hour. Setpoints matched to the product.
Scrap rate
Scrap tracked by machine, product and cause, so the worst offenders get fixed first.
What you get
One number per kilo produced
Electricity, fuel and losses rolled into cost per unit, live and by section, with hour-by-hour heatmaps that show waste outside working hours.
The right person, at once
Alarms and advice go by SMS, WhatsApp or email to whoever is responsible for that section, and escalate if nobody acknowledges.
PlantOS engineers on every shift
Our intuitive algorithm learns what normal looks like for every signal and flags abnormal events as they happen; our engineers review each section's data and send you advice and a one-page weekly report.
Questions
What does PlantOS measure in plastics and packaging plants?
Typically: Machine energy meters, Chiller meters, Barrel temperatures from PLC, Scales, Air flow meters.
What is the usual first project?
kWh per kilo on every machine.
How are savings proven?
A baseline of energy against production is fixed before changes are made; savings are the difference between what the baseline predicts for each day's production and what was measured, in line with IPMVP Option B.
