METRON Energy optimisation

Energy transparent factories: a digital twin of industrial processes

01.

Identification

METRON Energy optimisation offers a service to manage, in real-time, the energy and environmental performance of industrial sites, combining strong business expertise and a state-of-the-art digital platform.

By addressing the lack of solutions to monitor all types of energy used in plants such as compressed air, electricity, steam water and many others, this technological platform helps to create energy transparent factories. Using machine learning algorithms and industrial databases, METRON Energy optimisation understands complex patterns and identifies opportunities for energy optimisation. Employees are empowered to act directly to implement optimizations, thanks to user-friendly management software integrated into the platform. The platform can also automatically control the systems to achieve the best energy and environmental performances. It can be connected to any industrial system inside and outside the plant, such as the energy market or the weather forecasts. METRON Energy optimisation continuously optimizes energy flows to reduce energy bills and environmental footprint of any plant.

Implementation Stories

METRON Energy optimisation by METRON
Implemented by ArcelorMittal in Le Creusot (France) in 2021

ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel company, wanted to optimise the energy consumption of one of its steelworks in France, in addition to meeting its decarbonisation targets. As the industrial site did not have an energy or carbon emissions management system, it was carrying out monthly analyses of energy discrepancies, for example, which were therefore identified too late. The company turned to the METRON Energy Optimisation Solution to continuously monitor its energy consumption and flows in real time, with automated reporting.

Result

Thanks to real-time reporting and monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs), ArcelorMittal managed to reduce its energy costs by € 340 000 and save 4 100 tonnes of CO2eq over a 12-month period, in addition to achieving ISO 50 001 certification.
