Energy challenges in the manufacturing sector
Three of the biggest energy challenges for manufacturers include:
Energy-intensive production
The processes used within the manufacturing industry are often energy intensive. This can be due to the heavy operations, complex processes, energy-intensive materials, high heat requirements or continuous operations. Whether that’s car manufacturing, steel fabrication or animal feed production – it’s more than likely that your energy charges are amongst your biggest overheads.
The manufacturing sector is renowned for being among the most energy intensive industries (EII). It’s one that is most impacted by escalating energy prices. That’s why it is extremely important to pay attention to your energy contract costs and identify potential savings.
Energy efficiency and compliance
Upgrading to more efficient technologies, although expensive, is important to remain competitive and optimise your energy efficiency.
With the environmental regulations that circulate the manufacturing sector being so tough, it’s vital you are kept up to date. If your organisation lacks awareness or expertise monitoring your efficiency and energy consumption it can become detrimental to your business. And, with the increasing pressure to reduce your carbon footprint, it’s all the more important to implement an effective energy management system.
Production upgrades and technology advancements
With many operations running 24/7 it’s no surprise that there is an ongoing requirement for process maintenance and modifications. Although this can cause disruption to production, it is essential in order to be competitive within the industry. As well as having the latest and most efficient operations, there is a consistent drive for the digital transformation and smart manufacturing processes such as the use of IoT and AI.
The investment in new machinery and implementing the latest technology can make running a manufacturing facility costly.
