Reduce energy use & CO2 emissions by 20%
in your manufacturing processes
Problem
Since 2021…
3x
increase in electricity prices
4x
increase in natural gas prices
Zero
control over energy spend and CO2 emissions
… as the energy prices have become volatile, so does the market, leaving manufacturers with zero control over their energy costs and GHG emissions
Who trusted in BeChained
AI to eliminate wasted energy in manufacturing
Our AI technology makes production processes more energy efficient by 20%,
unlocking opportunities in demand-response and CO2 credits markets.
What?
Reduce industrial manufacturers energy spend, by making production processes 20-25% more energy efficient
How?
AI tech continuously identifies optimal settings on machines (i.e. speed of electric engine in water pumps) and executes improvements in production
Why?
Avoid 65 millions tCO2 per year in manufacturing processes by 2040
The processes we master
Water management
Tweaking water pump speed and tank level to guarantee pressure and flow throughout the circuit
Extractor hood
By controlling fans, extract exhaust and dust to maintain cleanness
Air compressor
Adjusting inlet valve to modulate load and unload, keeping constant output pressure
Furnace and heater
By adjusting current or natural gas, manage heating process and control temperature
AI tech reducing energy use & emissions
Focus on processes
Focus on industrial processes to deliver energy efficiency, spanning the application across different industries.
State-of-the-art AI tech
Pioneer the implementation of Reinforcement Learning models: they learn from on-the-run actions and environmental changes. They continuously improve efficiency and reduce emissions
Carbon footprint
Certify the carbon footprint reduction at product level, from direct data sources (i.e. energy meters)
Our target clients and industries
Steel & metal manufacturing
Pulp & paper mills
Food processing
An array of solutions
We optimise your energy for your specific production fleet
Step 1: Measure your impact
- Connect to every 3rd party devices (energy meters), monitoring consumption in real-time
- Certify the carbon footprint
- Integrate with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) through SCADA and OPC
Step 2: Eliminate wasted energy
- AI technology continuously identifies the optimal settings on machines (i.e. speed in a paper pulper)
- Build the digital twin of your production factory
- Execute the improvements in production
Step 3: New Incomes
- Certify your carbon footprint at product level
- Trade your CO2 credits
- Sell your demand flexibility in demand-response markets
