Our client, Balorman, operates in the plastic, wood, and pallet packaging sectors and was originally founded in 1958 as a wood company. The company initiated its digital transformation efforts in its plastic injection factory and planned to extend them to all facilities.

Throughout every phase of its digitization efforts, Lumian collaborated with Balorman Plastik Grubu. Initially, the installation of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production management was completed, followed by the acceleration of efficiency efforts through machine-based energy consumption tracking. Additionally, the company measures air quality in real-time at its facility to monitor its impact on human health, product quality, and energy efficiency through the Lumian single platform.

The traditional method of collecting energy consumption data by personnel during each shift through mechanical meters was replaced with digital data sharing-friendly, wireless energy analyzers using Lora communication technology. We started digitally collecting every piece of data related to electricity consumption at 15-minute intervals. This eliminated the need for personnel to collect meter data during working hours, allowing them to focus more on maintenance and repair services, resulting in a 20% increase in efficiency.

In our machine-based consumption analyses, we collect real-time data on the electricity consumption of Plastic Injection Machines and provide recommendations to improve equipment health through data analysis. By identifying harmonic imbalances at the machine level, we installed harmonic filters on machines causing harmonic imbalances in the facility, eliminating compensation problems and harmonics at their source. This increased equipment efficiency, reduced downtime, and achieved a total of 25% General Equipment Efficiency.

Balorman Çerkezköy's facility, producing products for the white goods industry, requires international standard production tracking and reporting. All data used for these reports is provided through the Lumian EoT Platform. Processing unit energy consumption on a process-by-process basis, calculating unit energy costs, and calculating unit carbon footprints are all carried out through the Lumian EoT Platform. Reports created using data collected from the source have been included in the "Best Practices" catalog for application across all suppliers, serving as an exemplary project for companies such as Arçelik, Bosch-Siemens, etc.
