Food and Beverage Manufacturing Energy Data Management

Gathering, understanding and managing energy data for food and beverage manufacturers can seem like a tall order, but zenon makes it simple. This task entails bringing a wide range of data sources together to understand how your energy consumption occurs and where it can be improved. zenon is a comprehensive software platform that allows manufacturers to gain a complete overview of their energy data management landscape and gather actionable insights. 

 

 

The challenges of energy data management for food and beverage manufacturers

 

Every facility is unique, but there are several data management challenges that tend to be present across various food and beverage manufacturing operations:

  • Compliance: Producing the world's food and drinks means you must abide by a range of standards and regulations. You may need to maintain certain humidity levels or temperatures for safe products and carefully manage disposal and emissions to prevent environmental damage. That means drawing information from many different areas.
  • Managing consumption: Reducing energy consumption is a great way to save on costs and reduce your facility's footprint, but it's easier said than done without robust plant energy data management.
  • Synthesizing energy data: Energy can come from and be used in myriad different ways, so bringing it all together calls for some innovative solutions. Drink and food plant energy management calls for turning all of these data points into understandable and valuable insights.
  • Taking action from data: All of those data points don't mean much unless you can turn them into actions that further the business. Whether it's through adjusting processes to reduce emissions or changing up your schedule to use energy on non-peak times and save costs, data can provide the information you need.
