Data management at the heart of industrial process optimization
To achieve their objectives, especially in terms of reducing CO2 emissions, industrial companies can now rely on the collection and analysis of their data, thanks to the use of an intelligent platform like the Energisme solution.
In France, the industrial sector accounts for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions
The modernization of the industrial tool is a vector of competitiveness and goes hand in hand with its decarbonization, a key issue for the public authorities in order to reach the climate objectives set by international treaties.
How can the industrial sector reduce its environmental footprint?
The reduction of C02 emissions requires a series of measures:
Detection of energy losses, energy renovation of equipment and reduction of energy consumption
Replacing fossil fuels with non-carbon energies (hydrogen, biomass, renewable energies, etc.), electrifying industrial processes to replace coal- or natural gas-based processes, which are high CO2 emitters
Such as electrolysis or electrosynthesis to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the conversion of raw materials into semi-finished or finished products
Development of C02 capture and storage technologies to avoid or limit C02 emissions into the environment
Technological innovation
To achieve the objectives of the National Low Carbon Strategy, i.e. to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 81% between 2015 and 2050, the best strategy would undoubtedly be to coordinate these different technologies.
However, the development of new industrial processes, particularly for heat production in sectors such as cement or steel, is very costly and requires significant R&D efforts. The French government supports these efforts through incentive policies for technological innovation.
In the medium term, however, the first lever to be used to move towards decarbonization of industry is energy sobriety.
The Energisme platform allows you to continuously monitor the evolution of your energy consumption, your carbon trajectory and your regulatory objectives. Therefore, it is a reliable tool for optimizing industrial processes.
How to use data to serve industry?
- Have a centralized industrial control platform
- Improve energy performance
- Develop innovative processes
Have a centralized industrial control platform
Industrial sites generate a wide range of data:
- Production data
- Energy data
- Material losses
- Process quality data
- Human resources data
To this data, we must add the energy consumption data that was traditionally issued by suppliers and network managers. The smart industry changes the game by making industrial companies more autonomous in collecting data.
The Energisme solution is able to connect with ERP systems and to capture data that allows to have all the business data in order to have relevant restitutions. It also allows you to automate data collection via IoT sensors on equipment. You choose precisely what you want to measure and where on the site.
The platform then centralizes all the data, collected internally or externally, and makes it intelligible. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the solution detects patterns and provides relevant information to create a true energy management system.
