Application report

Identifying savings potential at Sandvik Coromant

Project description

With its highly automated and computer-controlled production of precision tools, the company relies on a high-quality power supply. Sandvik Coromant also wants to be environmentally friendly and cost-conscious, so both energy and quality measurements are required throughout the plant's power distribution system.

With UMG devices in all 30 substations at the plant, as well as in the input network and main distribution, Sandvik now has an ideal tool for quality monitoring and for identifying and tracking energy-saving opportunities.

Janitza was able to refute the objection that such a measuring system is cost-intensive. After all, the precise recording of energy data saves far more costs in the medium term than the purchase of the system. The UMG devices also proved to be very cost-efficient thanks to their combined function with multi-parameter monitoring, energy measurement, and performance analysis.
