Our client, Balorman INT, operates in the plastic, wood, and pallet packaging sectors. Originally founded in 1958 as a wood company, the firm recently started manufacturing IKEA furniture. After the successful digital transformation of its plastic facility, the company decided to continue its digitalization efforts at the wood panel facility.

In collaboration with Lumian at every phase of its digitization efforts, the Balorman Wood Group first completed the installation of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production management. Subsequently, the focus shifted to accelerating 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. The company 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.

At the Balorman INT Bolu facility, where products specially manufactured for IKEA are produced, it is essential to perform 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 IKEA suppliers.
