Engineering & Manufacturing
Improve energy efficiency and operational performance.
Real-time energy monitoring and workflow integration.
Expand monitoring to include spare parts.
Up to 80% downtime reduction on select machines.
Hewland Engineering partnered with Enerlytic to achieve the following objectives:
Enerlytic collaborated with Hewland Engineering to implement a comprehensive monitoring solution for their manufacturing facility:
Enerlytic installed Current Transformer (CT) clamps on individual machines across the factory floor to monitor energy consumption in real time. Additionally, Enerlytic monitored Hewland’s main meter to capture facility-wide energy usage.
Enerlytic provided a robust monitoring tool capable of reporting
energy usage every 30 seconds for each machine. This data was used alongside Hewland’s Smart Factory tool to allow seamless tracking of workflows and processes.
Hewland began the project by focusing on specific areas of the site, starting with the Turning Section. By targeting specific areas, such as this section initially and the Gear Section in the next phase, they ensured high accuracy in the data collected and outcomes achieved.
The initial phase focused on monitoring individual machines within each section. The second phase will expand the scope to include spare parts, further enhancing insights and operational efficiency.
Working with Enerlytic has been a successful journey for Hewland, allowing for quick and easy data access. The tool is very intuitive and easy to use and saved us time for data analysis, communication with the wider teams, implementation of best practices and monitoring of implemented actions. Enerlytic flexibility in their approach and constant support gave us opportunity for slight adjustments that suited our needs and was much appreciated.

The collaboration delivered significant benefits for Hewland Engineering:
The monitoring solution provided an accurate, real-time view of energy consumption for each machine, empowering Hewland to make data-driven decisions.
By enabling quick communication with operators, Hewland significantly reduced machine downtime by up to 80% on some machines and identified further areas for improvement.
Hewland now has the capability to accurately calculate the cost of machine downtime, supporting more informed operational and financial decision-making.
The solution allowed for data driven communication within the team and more efficient implementation of best practices.
Hewland estimated an annual energy saving of 240,000 kWh following the implementation of the Enerlytic platform.
