ARCO S.r.l., a leading industrial player in the cataphoresis and painting sector, operates a complex production environment with high energy intensity and a heterogeneous asset base. In this context, the lack of full digitalization of energy management processes created several challenges, including:
- Limited visibility of energy consumption at the individual machine and department level, with data difficult to interpret for strategic decisions.
- Rising operational costs without clear data to support savings initiatives.
- Inability to detect energy waste during non-productive hours due to the absence of real-time monitoring and control systems.
- Limited tools for integrating energy metrics with production KPIs, making it difficult to correlate energy use with operational cycles.
As energy represented a significant operational cost, ARCO needed a smarter, technology-driven approach to transform fragmented data into concrete efficiency strategies.
