Case Study: Manitowoc achieves major energy savings and decarbonization with Energiency

How has data analytics become a lever for energy performance and decarbonization for Manitowoc

Manitowoc, a manufacturer of industrial cranes, faced a challenge in analyzing its energy performance and reducing its carbon footprint at its Avermes plant in France. The company lacked automated data collection tools and a clear link between its energy consumption and production activity, making it difficult to identify savings opportunities. To address this, Manitowoc partnered with vendor Energiency to implement its energy monitoring software and services.

Energiency's solution involved automating the collection of data from existing meters, installing new sub-meters, and deploying its customized software platform. This provided Manitowoc with intuitive dashboards, KPIs, and alerts to track performance. The results were significant, including concrete annual savings of 1,400 MWh of gas and a 10% reduction in electricity use, achieved through better equipment management. This led to a 20% reduction in gas consumption versus 2019 and helped the site achieve ISO 50001 certification.
