Reducing energy consumption in industry
Bills for electricity, gas and other energy sources often represent a significant proportion of a plant's operating costs.
Many solutions focus on replacing these energy sources (solar, biomass, nuclear...). Yet the primary source of savings is the energy you don't consume. Together, let's build the more sustainable and competitive industry of the future.
Sobriety, the first lever for savings on industrial energy bills
To save on industrial energy bills, the first lever is to optimize your production processes and raise employee awareness.
Optimizing consumption enables an industry to reduce energy costs immediately. Sometimes, the first actions to be taken are adjustments, which can considerably reduce your energy consumption without having to invest. Our energy-saving consultants can work with your teams to achieve this.
Integrate your industry's energy savings into your investment plans
By aligning your industry's energy-saving objectives with your investment plans, you can boost your competitiveness while helping to preserve the environment.
Every euro invested in energy-efficient technologies generates tangible returns, reducing your plant's energy consumption and boosting your profitability.
By working with an energy-saving consultant, you can not only improve your bottom line, but also boost productivity.
Integrating energy efficiency into your investment projects gives you access to subsidies that can significantly reduce your CAPEX.
Innovating to go further in reducing your industry's energy costs
To reveal your industry's potential for reducing energy costs, we take a multidisciplinary approach, combining basic science, engineering and data science.
We use the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence to model energy consumption, and look for innovative energy-saving solutions for your plants.
Our approach answers three questions:
Discover
Where are the sources of energy savings?
We carry out theoretical and statistical modelling of a reference situation from which to assess the potential.
Detection
What causes energy losses?
Our machine learning algorithms identify the factors influencing drift.
Decision
What actions should be taken to reduce current or future energy losses?
We carry out prescriptive and predictive analyses.
As a Young Innovative Company, winner of the Réseau Entreprendre 92 award and a member of French Tech Paris Saclay, LEMON ENERGY is committed to continuous innovation to provide energy-saving advice that is increasingly adapted to industrial processes.
Our energy-saving consultancy business receives financial support from the Ile-de-France region via the PM'up program, and from Bpifrance through the INNOV'up program.
Our innovation projects
Optimizing the energy mix of a glass furnace using machine learning
Project
A study of the optimal energy mix for a hybrid furnace, while preserving glass quality, for a major player in the luxury glass industry.
Method
We worked with the site's product R&D teams to identify the limits of physical models of glass quality. We then linked two machine learning models into a learning loop based on the temperature factor.
Result
This optimization makes it possible to predict glass quality as a function of the mix before launching production, thus reducing costs and cutting carbon emissions.
Explainable consumption forecast for a chocolate site
Project
Development of a model to predict the energy consumption of a chocolate-making site in real time.
Method
In collaboration with the site's teams, we identified the influential factors linked to production rate. We then developed an equation-based calculation using mixed linear regressions.
Finally, we deployed this algorithm through a MLOps system, for real-time use in our performance monitoring platform, ZEST.
Results
These consumption forecasts, 96% reliable, ensure better performance monitoring and support energy purchasing decisions.
Integrating an energy reduction strategy is essential for any industry wishing to optimize its costs and boost its competitiveness.
As a genuine accelerator of savings on a plant's energy costs, industrial energy efficiency makes your investment projects more reliable, while offsetting rising energy costs.
At LEMON ENERGY, we offer innovative and tailored solutions to reduce your energy costs without compromising your productivity. By working with our experts, you benefit not only from short-term savings, but also from continuous improvement in your industrial performance.
