Greencore: Driving Energy Efficiency Through Smart Monitoring
Challenge
Greencore identified a need to understand detailed energy consumption within its manufacturing processes. The solution needed to be installed quickly, cause no interruption to operations, and provide granular half-hourly data across key areas of production. The objective was to uncover inefficiencies, target high energy consumption, and establish an accurate foundation for future cost-saving initiatives.
Solution
Invisible Systems deployed an intelligent monitoring platform that enabled Greencore to track and analyse energy use in real time through a web-based dashboard. The system provided automated reporting, live data visibility, and alerts for abnormal consumption patterns. Additionally, Invisible Systems’ remote temperature monitoring capabilities allowed proactive identification of potential mechanical failures before they occurred, helping to prevent costly downtime and equipment inefficiencies.
Results and Impact
Identification of high energy users: The system pinpointed specific processes and locations responsible for the highest energy consumption, allowing targeted improvement measures.
Automated reporting: Regular, automated data reports replaced manual collection, saving time and improving accuracy.
Real-time visibility: Live monitoring through the Invisible Systems web portal provided instant access to energy data across all facilities.
Targeted energy reduction: Insights enabled data-driven decision-making, focusing investment where it would have the greatest impact.
Reduced operating costs: By improving energy efficiency and reducing waste, Greencore achieved significant operational savings and improved equipment reliability.
Future Direction
Greencore plans to expand the monitoring solution across additional manufacturing sites to enhance performance consistency and further strengthen its sustainability strategy. The company continues to work with Invisible Systems to explore predictive maintenance opportunities and additional environmental monitoring integrations.
Conclusion
Through the deployment of Invisible Systems’ Smart Monitoring solution, Greencore has achieved measurable energy savings, improved operational reliability, and reduced costs. The system provides live visibility into performance, proactive maintenance capabilities, and automated reporting that supports sustainability and efficiency goals across the business.
