 challenge

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.

 solution

Veil Energy guided ARCO through its energy digitalization journey by implementing E-BOOST, turning existing infrastructure into a connected, intelligent system, offering:

  • Smart Metering and Digital Consumption Control: Real-time data acquisition directly from production lines, allowing monitoring of each machine’s consumption patterns both during operation and standby.
  • Automated Anomaly Detection: AI algorithms identify inefficiencies, abnormal peaks, and waste previously invisible to traditional systems.
  • Consultative Support: Close collaboration with ARCO management to translate E-BOOST results into practical improvement actions, turning the platform’s data into actionable efficiency strategies.

Thanks to E-BOOST, ARCO gained a detailed view of energy consumption trends, turning complex data into a strategic lever to enhance operational excellence.

 impact

In less than six months following the E-BOOST integration, ARCO achieved tangible results in efficiency and competitiveness:

  • 12% Energy Savings through automated optimization of night-time operations and refinement of maintenance routines based on real data.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making Capability, with data analysis now integrated directly into production planning and strategic investment choices.
  • Strengthened Competitive Advantage via more efficient cost management, reinforcing ARCO’s ability to offer competitive pricing while maintaining quality standards.
