Case Study: Onduline reduces energy consumption and boosts OEE with Guidewheel

Onduline reduces energy use with Guidewheel in 2 days

Onduline, a global leader in manufacturing lightweight roofing sheets, sought to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions as part of its sustainability program. Their challenge was a lack of visibility into how much electricity individual pieces of equipment used, preventing them from accurately tracking energy consumed per unit of product. To gain these insights, they turned to Guidewheel and its Factory Signal platform.

By implementing Guidewheel, Onduline received precise energy consumption data that led to immediate procedural changes and cost savings. The solution identified equipment drawing phantom power and a new machine that was three times less efficient, enabling informed operational decisions. Furthermore, Guidewheel boosted Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) tracking with accurate uptime data and provided alerts that prevented costly failures like sprinkler system floods. The results included reduced energy consumption and costs, while also boosting OEE.
