“When we introduced AVEVA MES in 2013 we had a normal run-rate of 3% energy efficiency savings on every ton of product produced. After we had installed the AVEVA system, we clearly saw the energy efficiency increased. Taking half a percent out equates to almost €500,000. so we are saving €8 million per year six years into the program. We spent around €8-10 million on the system, so you can see the ROI over time is excellent, and we are using the system to generate many other efficiency gains throughout our operations, on top.”
