The Challenge
Tata Steel's Jamshedpur plant was facing escalating energy costs and inefficient power consumption across multiple production units. With energy accounting for 40% of total production costs, the company needed a comprehensive solution to monitor, analyze, and optimize energy usage in real-time.
Key Issues Identified:
- Energy costs increased by 25% over 3 years
- No real-time visibility into power consumption
- Manual monitoring led to delayed responses
- Peak demand charges were unoptimized
- Equipment inefficiencies went undetected
