Case Study: National Ceramic Industries Australia achieves $40,000 monthly gas savings with OFS

National Ceramic Industries Australia saves $40,000 monthly with OFS

National Ceramic Industries Australia (NCIA) was facing unsustainable industrial gas prices that threatened its viability. After its fixed-rate energy plan ended, NCIA explored a more affordable spot pricing model, but this required highly accurate gas usage forecasting. The company's manual attempts to track and predict usage were laborious and inaccurate, resulting in heavy penalty fees from suppliers. They worked with vendor OFS to implement a solution for this challenge.

OFS implemented an automated gas monitoring and forecasting solution for NCIA. This provided integrations to monitor production and gas usage in one place, forecasting with 99.5% accuracy, and tools for analysis. The results were substantial monthly savings: NCIA avoided $12,000 in penalties and saved over $40,000 on its gas spend by successfully using the spot pricing model. These savings ensured the business's continued viability and provided new insights into production efficiency.
