According to a statement from Emicool, the anticipated solutions will centre around innovations in sustainability and digitalisation and include the implementation of energy audits at Emicool plants to identify savings potential and explore areas of improvement across the plants.

Six main areas will be explored, with Siemens’ expertise used to further Emicool’s objectives in sustainability, innovation & technology, responsible operations & reliable service, training, the promotion of digitalisation and corporate social responsibility. Benefits will include increased energy efficiency through the optimisation of technology solutions, resulting in educational, environmental and economic benefits to the community, the statement said.

“Our partnership with Siemens to develop and improve our sustainability and digitalisation across the businesses, utilising the Siemen’s energy saving systems, integrating and connecting products, plants, systems and machines will enable a wealth of data to be harnessed with advanced analytics. This will ensure effective implementation of actions, improving efficiency and performance.
