Minimize energy consumption while maintaining quality

Determine the exact process setpoints to apply by using a set of mathematical optimization solvers.

Improve sustainability efforts

Reduce carbon footprint and help meet ESG requirements.


Why choose SAS for lowering manufacturing energy usage and cost?

Easily gain the insights you need to make setpoint changes fast.

  • IoT data integration. Access, integrate and enrich data from varying sources across your plant, including raw materials, dryers, kilns and weather.
  • Built-in data model. Combine environmental, MES, PLC, SCADA and LIMS data for automated explainers of the process parameters most affecting energy consumption.
  • Prebuilt machine learning models. Easily deploy these models to learn what changes you need to make across the plant with best-in-class analytics.
  • Prebuilt visualizations and dashboards. View data analyses across the organization and enable engineers to take quick, insight-backed actions that result in significant energy savings.

Accelerate time to value with integrated energy modules.

  • Automated explainers. Provide engineers with the missing insights needed to affect key process parameters with a relationship analyzer for energy consumed and process parameters.
  • Golden shift analyzer. Identify optimum shift parameters for each process setting using advanced analytics models to dynamically compare current production runs to historical runs with very low energy consumption.
  • Setpoint analyzer. Gain recommendations for operators on the exact setpoints they should apply to the process to minimize energy consumption while maintaining quality using mathematical optimization solvers.
