Case Study: Pretium Packaging lowers energy consumption and improves production efficiency with Guidewheel

Pretium Packaging lowers energy costs across 26 facilities with Guidewheel in under 3 minutes

Pretium Packaging, a manufacturer of rigid packaging solutions, faced a challenge in gaining operational visibility and reducing energy consumption across its 25+ global facilities. They needed a unified platform to track key metrics like machine runtime and production to drive efficiency and sustainability. To address this, they turned to the vendor Guidewheel and its FactoryOps platform.

Guidewheel's solution enabled Pretium to quickly connect all equipment and factories into a single system, providing granular, real-time data on both operations and energy use. This resulted in optimized production and significantly lower energy consumption. As a measurable example, Pretium's analysis using Guidewheel data revealed that using a specific 2-cavity mold machine would cost nearly three times more in energy per unit produced than an 8-cavity model, allowing for data-driven decisions that improved both profitability and sustainability.
