How Wiseside has improved energy management: the DIGIMON case

What if your company could monitor energy consumption, optimize resource use and reduce waste at once?

This is exactly what Wiseside accomplished for a metalworking company with Project DIGIMON, harnessing the power of the EcoEnergy Optimizer platform.

What was introduced was not just a change, but a radical transformation, based on precise numbers, timely analysis and an advanced technological infrastructure. In the next few lines we will explore in detail how this approach optimized business processes, improved operational efficiency, and reduced waste, creating a replicable model of success for other energy-intensive industries.

Background: why DIGIMON?

Prior to DIGIMON, the company had identified a set of ambitious but clear goals: precisely monitor energy consumption, optimize raw material use, and reduce inventories.

The problem? It lacked the right tool to do so.

That’s where EcoEnergy Optimizer comes in, a cloud platform that has literally transformed energy management and business productivity.

With EcoEnergy Optimizer, the company not only has started monitoring consumption in real time, but has integrated data from ERP systems, CAD, and IoT devices to get a complete and detailed picture of the entire production process.

How it works: the numbers that matter

Let’s talk about data. With EcoEnergy Optimizer, three laser cutting machines have been equipped with IoT sensors that can monitor energy consumption in real time . And it’s all documented and traceable to the millimeter.

But that’s not all. The data collected has been linked to data provided by the individual machines regarding processing programs, allowing the company to know exactly how much energy and material is used for each individual order. This information resulted in a series of KPIs that allowed critical aspects to be tracked such as:

• Cutting program productivity, which represents the ratio of material produced to material used, measuring actual versus expected scrap.
• Energy consumption of the cutting program, which calculates the power consumption for each job by cross-referencing the data collected by the devices with that of the machines’ software.
• Detections of actual processing times, i.e., verification of actual downtime by comparing actual data with CAD systems’ predictions to optimize efficiency.

The results: success is in the numbers

Here’s what we recorded after implementing EcoEnergy Optimizer:

• Improved monitoring: thanks to IoT sensors, the company now monitors every single machine, measuring processing times and energy consumption in real time.
• Reduced waste: precise analysis has identified inefficiencies, leading to the decision to replace one of the machines with a better performing one.
• Accurate forecasting of raw material needs: integration of planning data has improved forecasting of inventory needs, reducing excess and inventory costs.
• Access to financing: the ability to quantitatively demonstrate the benefits achieved has enabled the company to obtain financing for new machinery.

Future prospects: it’s not just for today

The DIGIMON Project demonstrates that EcoEnergy Optimizer is not just a solution for today, but a platform for companies to prepare for the future. And there’s more: EcoEnergy Optimizer is applicable to any energy-intensive industry, delivering tangible results in terms of cost reduction, resource optimization and improved sustainability. We’re not just talking about a simple piece of software, but a strategic tool that can position your company among the market leaders.
