Problems to be solved :High energy costs and inefficient injection molding management
A major cause of increased production costs and blind spots in energy management
Due to the nature of the plastic manufacturing process, injection molding machines consumed high amounts of energy, resulting in significant production costs. It was difficult to accurately monitor energy usage for each machine, limiting effective energy management and optimization of equipment operation. Additionally, the lack of clear data on energy waste factors made it challenging to develop improvement measures.
Problem Solving : Implementation of a Smart Energy Management System Based on Real-Time Data
Energy Efficiency Improvement Through Real-Time Monitoring and Process-Specific Analysis
Current sensors were installed on each injection molding machine and key equipment to transmit real-time power usage data to a cloud platform, providing a visual overview of energy consumption for each production line. Through energy analysis for each injection process, high-energy-waste processes were identified, and by analyzing equipment utilization and energy consumption data together, inefficient operation practices were improved. The peak power management feature helped reduce the risk of unnecessary additional charges.
Benefits of Implementation : Cost Reduction and Establishment of a Stable Production Environment
Maximize Energy Savings, Boost Equipment Efficiency, and Enable Predictive Maintenance”
Through 3View FEMS, energy costs are expected to be reduced, and productivity is anticipated to improve through data-driven efficient equipment management. Implementing energy-efficient operations and a predictive maintenance system will minimize production downtime caused by equipment failures and, in the long term, contribute to lower maintenance costs and extended equipment lifespan. Ultimately, this will positively impact cost competitiveness and the establishment of a stable production environment.
