Over the last years, Carlsberg UK has steadily improved its utility performance. In order to continue making progress, the company looked for new ways to reduce water and other utility performance. Since the company already exhausted most of the straightforward solutions, It realised it needed a system that would visualise and measure the utility usage against its production in a way which was not previously possible through normal human measuring.
The company installed a system called e-sight in its Leeds Brewery. This system monitors the performance of the site's utility consumption against its set targets.
It provides the company new possibilities to reduce its water and energy usage by understanding consumption loads and matching with production periods. An example on this is done is when the system generates range and average alarms to be sent via email to alert high usage in specific meters. The alarms are linked to production allowing for early reaction and quick intervention times to process and reduce losses.
This can have a major impact on reducing utility usage, thereby improving environmental performance and production output. The installation of the system and other measurements have helped the brewery to reduce water consumption with 10 %
