Services insights, reduction and optimisation
This project aimed to address a critical challenge in the red meat processing industry: the excessive and inefficient use of utilities, particularly water, resulting in increased operational costs and environmental management that comes with excessive water use.
The goal was to implement a project for meat processors to reduce water, energy, and chemical usage by installing smart meters, using real-time data dashboards, and changing operational behaviour. By doing so, the project would cut costs, reduce waste, and help facilities become more sustainable and efficient.
The project provided strong evidence that real-time utility monitoring, when combined with targeted operational adjustments, yields measurable efficiency gains in red meat processing.
