Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing: Policies & Incentives
Energy efficiency is a fundamental component of the European Union’s plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. By systematically reducing energy consumption and improving energy usage across sectors, the EU aims to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen energy security, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This article delves into the EU’s energy efficiency policies, the […]

How to Find Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing: Buildings
In the world of manufacturing, energy efficiency is no longer a mere option—it’s a strategic imperative. As energy costs soar and sustainability targets tighten, manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less. Optimising energy consumption not only reduces operational expenses but also aligns with global goals to minimise environmental impact. However, the focus often […]

What is an Energy Audit in Manufacturing?
An energy audit in manufacturing isn’t just a routine check; it’s a game-changer. It identifies opportunities to optimise energy usage, reduce energy consumption, and slash those utility bills. Imagine this: your manufacturing facility is running at full throttle, but behind the scenes, energy is slipping through the cracks. From skyrocketing energy bills to wasted energy […]

What is OEE, why do manufacturers need to measure it, and how is it calculated?
What is OEE? Put simply, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a measure of how well a manufacturing operation is running compared to its full potential. It is represented as a percentage of actual useful production / potential production. Perfect productivity or 100% OEE would mean that production time and resources (production assets and material) are […]
