Case Studies
U.S. (Michigan Automotive Plant)
An automotive manufacturer in Detroit deployed IoT Manufacturing Tech’s energy management platform across its stamping and assembly lines. Within six months, the plant reduced its peak demand charges by 22% and improved baseline energy efficiency by 18%, leading to over $400,000 in annual energy savings.
U.S. (Texas Electronics Facility)
A Texas-based electronics manufacturer utilized our smart sensors and real-time analytics to monitor HVAC energy use in cleanrooms. By integrating our solution with their building management system, the company achieved a 27% reduction in energy waste and met ISO 50001 certification within the first year.
Canada (Ontario Food Processing Plant)
A food manufacturer in Ontario used IoT Manufacturing Tech’s cloud-based monitoring tools to identify high-consumption bottlenecks in refrigeration and steam systems. By implementing predictive energy controls, the plant cut energy costs by 16% while aligning with CSA C837 and ENERGY STAR targets.
