Our commitment in combating climate through digitalization has made Arctic SA choose us as a partner to salve all the challenges that the organization is facing: energy & utilities reduction costs.
The Solution
Our company started the client challenges through an in-depth needs analysis. At the end of analysis, our experts propose the implementation of QLEAP ENEF – a software for identifying and monitoring energy and utility losses, real-time notifications, and cost center view of all consumption. Currently, our has implemented 120 data collection points, through water, gas, and electricity! meters in the plant in Gaesti.
The solution proposed by Quartz Matrix supports Arctic in identifying the loss of significant amounts of energy and utilities. By setting specific KPls, to reduce energy intensity, real-time alerts and notifications are sent when the thresholds are exceeded. Based on the analysis that we made, our client managed to build an effective strategy to fit consumption into the established budgets. Also, the implementation of aur solution helps Arctic SA getting an overview on the atypical consumption for each equipment. The monitoring system QLEAP ENEF allowed the Turkish management to obtain specific information on the performance of the equipment in the plant in Gaesti.
At the same time, the utility management team has been able to act on the variations in consumption and significantly improve final energy and utilities costs. Following the process, they implemented an automated reporting in the platform for identification, calculation of quantity and cost of energy wasted on each machine. This report is used to develop a strategy to raise awareness on the importance of energy efficiency among operators.
