Henkel kasutab suurandmeid kestlikkuse ja energiatõhususe suurendamiseks
Kasvu ja säästlikkuse strateegiaid toetavad lahendused on aidanud energiakulu aasta-aastalt vähendada (2020. aastal kuni 16%) ning täiendanud teisi pidevaid vähendusmeetmeid.
The German fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturer Henkel operates globally with more than 52,000 employees. Its brands span three business units: Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care and Laundry & Home Care. Henkel aims to promote sustainability in all its business activities, reinforcing its leadership position and optimizing its energy consumption.
“We adopted a digital backbone as this facilitates a vertical approach, meaning we can implement any add-on application in a ‘plug-and-play manner’ across the entire global value chain within months. In our experience, this is not only faster (than creating then duplicating a state-of-the art site), but also ensures each application roll-out quickly generates tangible business benefits.”

• Annual energy cost savings are growing, reaching an incremental €8 million, driven by digital analytics in 2020
• Energy cost savings to date have topped €37 million
• Exponential ROI delivered: full payback delivered within four years; quadrupled ROI after eight years
• Reduction in filling line waste and elimination of all incorrect labeling resulting in 100% label quality
• Improvements of 15% in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) after just two years
