Gorenje ORODJARNA is one of the biggest Slovenian manufacturers of tools for sheet metal processing working with very high energy-intensive processes. DENiM will support the identification of the most promising optimisations in terms of energy usage by extensively integrating digital twins of machining processes for production planning optimisation.

Objectives & Technologies

Implement machine-based energy and compressed air consumption monitoring

Introduce energy optimisation variable for optimal production set up and schedule

Integrate new sensors with existing monitoring systems to feed this information into the digital twin

Analyse the role of each machine

Expected Targets

Digitalisation

50% increase of energy intensive machines monitored

Energy Efficiency

25% reduction of electrical energy via optimal scheduling and planning

Cost Savings

LCC Reduction of at least 15% of final product due to process optimisation
