The Challenge

Hyperbat, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of high-performance electric vehicle battery packs, had energy-intensive assembly operations that, with rising energy costs, were growing concern for the business.

With no real-time insight into energy consumption, usage patterns, equipment or building efficiency, the Hyperbat team was unable to assess current energy usage, identify areas of wastage, or take targeted actions to optimise energy usage and efficiency.

Energy efficiency is a major challenge for UK industry. According to the Carbon Trust, industry is responsible for 17% of the UK’s total energy use, most of which results from manufacturing.
