Improved efficiency, productivity and environmental management for manufacturers

Like all manufacturing facilities, yours’ have unique challenges and requirements. Chief among these is the need for reliable systems that ensure little or no downtime, provide the proper conditions for quality control and manage energy to achieve the lowest possible cost for both production and non-production-related energy consumption.

ESI solutions focus on integrating the “islands of information” that typically exist in a manufacturing environment: environmental systems; plant floor equipment and systems; enterprise systems; and energy and utility systems. We take the data in these systems and “normalize” it into a single platform where the data becomes information that can be used to drive higher levels of efficiency, productivity and quality, while lowering the cost of operations and production.

We offer solutions for control of environmental conditions, both general and critical areas with tight tolerances. We provide control and optimization of process and environmental chiller plants, heating plants and compressed air systems.

If you have multiple manufacturing plants - across town or across the country – ESI offers enterprise-level solutions that allow you to benchmark best-in-class plants based on the measurement of key operating and production data. For example, our solutions enable you to view energy, water and air usage not only at the plant level, but at individual work cells and processes.  We provide dashboards and analytics that show these measurements correlated with units of output that aid in identifying areas for efficiency improvement, cost performance, benchmarking and production scheduling.

ESI also assists with plant improvements in the areas of heat recovery, water and wastewater and real-time demand response and load control. We work with you to obtain utility, environmental and tax incentives to help offset the cost of these improvements.

Environmental management is a key concern for most manufacturers. Ensuring compliance and documentation of environmental performance, green house gas emissions, and carbon footprint is essential to creating a sustainable operation that not only complies with government regulations, but provides a competitive advantage in a marketplace where customers look for suppliers that are leaders in sustainable practices. Our solutions include environmental management documentation and our EMS2 platform, which combines real-time energy and environmental monitoring and measurement into one platform, avoiding duplicate systems for measuring sustainability performance and decreases the cost of maintaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
