Bufab Lann began its energy efficiency project by installing measurement points for data collection and analysis. The initial focus was on the manufacturing equipment to get a clear overview and understand how energy was used; identify the minimum need for operation, analyze base load during weekends when there is no production, and more. At this stage, no investments were made in new equipment.

In 2022, SenseNode's analysis tool was upgraded to Energy Analytics, which enabled a more detailed overview of energy use. In October of the same year, an extensive savings project was initiated. By adjusting routines, commitment from employees and reviewing the base load, BUFAB Lann managed to reduce its electricity consumption by 22%, corresponding to 917 790 kWh, compared to the previous year. This success would not have been possible without detailed energy monitoring and measurement.

Further savings were achieved by adjusting the washing process, changing chemicals and lowering the wash temperature from 60°C to 40°C. This adjustment on a single machine resulted in a 30% reduction in energy consumption.

The next step in Bufab Lann's work to make its energy use more efficient is to maintain the current levels and strive to improve them further next year. At the same time, they are considering reviewing possible investments in the machine park to be able to maximize efficiency even more.
