At BeChained, we’re constantly exploring how technology and smart strategies can build more resilient, efficient, and interconnected operations.
Starting from the source
From optimized logistics to transparent sourcing, the backbone of a robust industry (and above all manufacturing) relies on predictability and access to resources. One critical resource – electricity – is becoming increasingly complex.
While the Medium article delves deep into the energy transition, its core message resonates powerfully with the BeChained philosophy: control, efficiency, and proactive management through intelligent systems.
The role of industry
The article argues that industrial manufacturers, equipped with advanced AI, can transform from passive energy consumers into active players in stabilizing our electricity grids. Imagine your factories dynamically adjusting their energy demand not just to save costs, but to:
- Compensate for unexpected dips in renewable energy supply, preventing grid instability.
- Proactively consume cheaper, abundant renewable energy during peak generation, reducing waste and cost.
This isn’t just about reducing your carbon footprint; it’s about building a more reliable energy backbone for your entire operation.
The problem of unbalance costs
The Medium article, corroborated by stark data from the IEA, reveals the massive “unbalanced costs” currently plaguing grids – billions lost in curtailed renewable energy and soaring operational expenses for grid operators. These inefficiencies directly impact the stability and cost of energy, which in turn can ripple through your supply chain.
The role of AI
By embracing AI for adaptive energy optimization, industries can not only contribute to a greener future but also gain a proactive tool for managing energy costs and ensuring operational continuity. This approach fosters a resilient energy ecosystem, much like a well-optimized supply chain fosters business resilience.
We encourage you to read the full article to understand the profound impact AI in industrial energy management can have on grid stability, renewable energy integration, and ultimately, a more predictable and sustainable future for all interconnected processes.
