Smart Energy Use Case
Bridgestone
BS Burgos is a large factory, producing the biggest tyres
in the BS portfolio. This means great energy and resources
consumption
• There are several sources or Energy and resources:
• Power
• Compressed Air
• Water
• Steam
• Nitrogen
• Consumption is registered in different meters scattered
along the different buildings of the factory.
• Energy is consumed and paid. Contracts negotiation is
based on volume
Situation before IDboxRT
• BS Burgos is a large factory, producing the biggest tyres
in the BS portfolio. This means great energy and resources
consumption
• There are several sources or Energy and resources:
• Power
• Compressed Air
• Water
• Steam
• Nitrogen
• Consumption is registered in different meters scattered
along the different buildings of the factory.
• Energy is consumed and paid. Contracts negotiation is based on volume.
Problem
• The information about energy consumption is scattered along the factory
• It is not possible to consolidate the information:
• From different meters for the same resource
• From different resources
• IDboxRT consolidates data from different sources:
• Industrial protocols
• SCADAs
• Databases
• Other sources of information.
• Monitors real time data.
• Incorporates analysis tools for data historical base
and machine learning
• Provides consolidated view of the information by
means of synoptics and dashboards.
• Create reports for business decision support.
• Provides information to other company business
support tools.
IDboxRT solution for BS
IDboxRT consolidates data about consumption of
energy and resources.
Information is delivered to Energy Committee in
form of:
• Hierarchical nested dashboards show real time
Energy consumption, form plant level to
machine level.
• Predefined information analysis
Energy committee now has the possibility to
understand the energy consumption break down.
• How energy is consumed at every level
• How energy is consumed upon the model of
tyre produced.
And provide an unique authorized source of energy
information for the different BS stakeholders.
Hierarchical plant representation
Hierarchy drill-down (Plant view)
Energy committee can easily check, at a glance:
• Consumption of the different energy an resources in the plant, including:
• Real time value (gauge)
• Last ten minutes (graph).
• Production in the last hour:
• Tons of material used.
• Average weight per tyre
• Tyres produced.

- Reduction of 20% in men working days (mwd)
- related to energy data gathering
- Almost 5% of energy bill savings due to
- contract optimization and production
- optimization
- Return of Investment (ROI) below 4 months
