Electricity and natural gas expenses stand out as major cost items, especially for factories, industrial facilities, and commercial service buildings. As bills become routine and get settled through automatic payment instructions without going through a control mechanism, even the smallest calculation error or a wrongly selected tariff can lead to unnecessary and significantly high payments.
Sarpplas Plastic, located in the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone and specializing in the production of plastic parts for the white goods sub-industry, is a significant factory. The Lumian Energy Management System tracks the electricity consumption of almost all machines in the Sarpplas factory in real-time, simultaneously monitoring unit energy costs and carbon footprints. It assists in achieving both cost accounting and sustainability goals.
While tracking energy consumption on a machine basis at Sarpplas Plastic, Lumian uses the "My Bills" application for energy cost calculations. The "My Bills" application identifies that the current tariff is not suitable for industrial production and presents calculations highlighting the benefits of alternative tariffs and subscription groups to the management as a report. Based on these reports, the management applied to the relevant departments to offset an excess payment of 574,000 TL in the last 6 months' bill. Lumian Energy Management System, after 6 months of use, provided Sarpplas Plastic Management with savings proposals that would ensure the return on all investments, including hardware and monthly memberships.
Tolga Akardeniz, the Information Technologies Manager at Sarpplas Plastic, has directly experienced the benefits of using the Lumian Energy Management System. Additionally, he has provided valuable contributions to the development of the software by conveying recommendations that will speed up operational processes to our team.
