MERCEDES-BENZ - Chiller Plant Virtualisation for Car Plant, Pune
The Customer
MERCEDES-BENZ renowned for its product quality, wanted to monitor and optimise the performance of the chiller plant. Datamatrix Technology is selected for its innovation, that address the critical challenges.
The Challenge
Precision temperature and humidity control is critical for product quality, against the continuously changing climatic conditions, and production schedule. This will need to monitor the machine performance and deteriorations over time for chillers and auxiliaries and continuously optimize performance. The chiller plant is among the largest consumers of electricity in the plant and it is a prime target for optimization.
The Solution
Datamatrix 'Chiller Plant Virtualisation' brought visibility of the performance at equipment, system, and Chiller Plant level, including each auxiliary equipment that affects the plant performance. Datamatrix Virtual Chiller Plant enabled remote support services for continuous improvement for the first 3 years, which led to the outcomes highlighted below.
Technology Innovation
Virtual Metering' helped to simulate the performance of each piece of equipment cost-effectively, using only energy and temperature as the inputs. It provided the much-needed visibility of the performance of the components and how it affects the overall system performance.
Outcomes of the Project
Comprehensive Performance Visibility
Optimum Machine Sequencing
Predictive Maintenance
Continuous Improvement with M&V
14.5% Energy Cost Reduction
for the Chiller Plant, through operational optimization
The Project also helped the Pune Plant to win the Internal Award among their Global Manufacturing Facilities, at Mercedes-Benz HQ in Germany.
