SUSTAIN
Optimize machine energy and resource use to enhance sustainability across operations
A unique resource and energy monitoring solution to make efficient use of resources, reduce cost and scrap rates to achieve more sustainable operations
ei3‘s SUSTAIN provides a global company-wide measurement tool that acquires, analyzes and reports on energy, water, and waste data from all enterprise assets including machines and buildings. SUSTAIN establishes a normalized baseline to optimize your processes.
With SUSTAIN, users can:
- Measure, compute and report Sustainability KPI numbers
- Roll-up to aggregate enterprise impact
- Normalize for external factors (weather, etc) or production schedule
- Apply sophisticated machine learning algorithms to reduce the specific energy consumption per part / tonnage of production
- Validate consumption trends over time, and verify any positive or negative impact of actions taken
- Evaluate carbon intensity for local electricity
- Benchmark scrap rates and observe long time trends
- Establish facts for ESG reporting, CO2 emissions taxation, etc

Given the increasing scarcity of resources, sustainability is a big concern for machine builders and their manufacturing customers
SUSTAIN uses sophisticated algorithms to normalize the consumption of electric energy, pneumatic energy, water, and other resources to account for changes in environmental conditions, production schedules, and the final product. SUSTAIN helps plant floor personnel meet the challenging requests of their corporate Sustainability departments by delivering Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that show the impact of an organization’s operations, such as greenhouse gas emissions, waste production, and the aggregated consumption of resources for the entire enterprise.
The analytical insights delivered by SUSTAIN help organizations transform into proactive, intelligent, and externally-focused businesses. SUSTAIN also catalyzes the process of compliance reporting by comparing KPI numbers against mandated industry benchmarks, giving customers tangible improvement measurements. With SUSTAIN, Environmental/Social Governance (ESG) scorecards are based on the facts that are necessary for regulatory compliance.

Connecting the Shop Floor to SUSTAIN
Step 1. CONNECT
Our edge device, the Amphion, connects to your equipment’s PLC or database. Once plugged into the machine’s control cabinet, the Amphion will interrogate the machine controllers 24×7, accurately detecting and recording downtime events.
Step 2. MEASURE
Energy consumption, emissions, and production quality. This allows SUSTAIN to provide key sustainability performance indicators, such as the specific energy consumption per good part, live and in real-time.
Step 3. IMPROVE
With this information your team can roll out continuous improvement programs and track progress based on data – not gut feeling.
