Theme Overview
For small and medium-sized enterprises that are making bloody efforts to reduce cost, electricity expense, which is “unexplained expenditure” because it is unclear when, for what, and how much of it was used, is a heavy burden.
By clarifying the use of the electricity, it can be can identified whether electric energy is used in a really valiant way or not.
In production factories, the more the production volume, the more energy is consumed. Therefore, we consider that it is more important to identify and zero waste than to control total volume.
To realize this, we have created a system to measure electric power consumption for each electric facility and identify whether it is necessary or not.
By visualizing the information obtained from the system and give feedback to all the corporate members, we worked on reduction of unnecessary electric power consumption in daily business operation.
