Case Study: a large paper products manufacturer reduces steam consumption with Braincube

Reducing steam consumption to save money and resources

A large paper products manufacturer sought help from Braincube to reduce its steam consumption, a significant component of its production costs. Despite a complex process with over 200 parameters, previous analyses had failed to find correlations to optimize energy use.

Braincube created a digital twin of the production process using two years of historical data. Using its Advanced Analysis App powered by CrossRank AI, Braincube identified critical parameters and prescribed optimal settings. This led to an 8% reduction in energy use, a 90% compliance rate with these optimal settings, and the ability to evaporate more water with the same energy. The sustainable results achieved the company's KPIs and contributed to its focus on waste reduction.
