Digital energy assessment programme helps reduce environmental impact

01 April 2019

Tetra Pak is developing an energy assessment programme in collaboration with ABB to help food and beverage producers lower their environmental impact and cut costs.

The programme provides an assessment of the entire plant. Based on this analysis, it offers recommendations on opportunities to reduce energy consumption enabling more informed decisions to be made about how resources are used.

Based on the findings from pilot projects, the programme can potentially reduce carbon emissions for food and beverage manufacturing and cut energy cost by between 15% and 25%.

Commenting on the collaboration, Johan Nilsson, vice president at Tetra Pak, said: “There is a sense of urgency for all industries to reduce their environmental impact across their operations, and we are developing programmes together with our partners to reduce this impact for our customers and the overall industry. The plant assessment programme is an excellent example of an area where we have found and created opportunities for environmental savings.”

“With this strategic collaboration, Tetra Pak and ABB will create and drive a leading manufacturing ecosystem to provide Tetra Pak’s customers with the most advanced digital solutions and services,” said Visar Krasniqi, group vice president, Digital Transformation at ABB. “Additionally, this will enable Tetra Pak’s customers to run ABB’s digital solutions and their operations with improved overall efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.”
