When saving becomes leading

Henkel, a global FMCG manufacturer, is a pioneer, reimagining and improving life today and for generations to come. This spirit led to the digital transformation of their Laundry & Home Care division to drive greater efficiency, and thereby greater sustainability.
Goals included reducing specific energy consumption, achieving ISO 50001 certification, and improving supply-chain resource efficiency by 5–6% annually, all the while maintaining growth.
However, Henkel’s challenges in data collection and communication across the supply chain would make attaining its goals difficult. A partnership with AVEVA led to an effective solution.
We adopted a digital backbone as this facilitates a vertical approach. It’s faster and ensures application roll-out quickly generates tangible business benefits.
An elegant device-agnostic solution
Henkel uses AVEVA software to enable its teams to capture and contextualize operational data, manage domain, database, application programs. Device integration is configured independently, without affecting the architecture. Engineers can seamlessly incorporate legacy hardware.
Teams installed more than 4,000 physical and virtual sensors, and more than one million data points are captured every day. Touch-screen devices instantly consolidate and contextualize relevant data, enabling operators to collaborate in real-time and identify problematic areas.
Now, operators can accurately measure energy use across the entire factory. They analyze results within meaningful parameters, empowering teams to take corrective action and reduce energy consumption.
AVEVA’s software delivers overall equipment efficiency (OEE) data that further increases productivity. Machine downtime information enables operators to target in-line improvements.
Payback and then some
Energy consumption decreased by 16% in 2020, leading to €8 million in annual savings and €37 million saved to date. The project achieved full payback within four years and quadrupled ROI after eight years.
Other benefits include a 15% improvement in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), reduction of filling line waste and 100% label quality rate.
By putting industrial intelligence to work, Henkel transformed its Laundry & Home Care operations, driving sustainability and efficiency across its value chain.
Once we’d implemented the AVEVA-based EMS solution, the energy saved was equivalent to the capacity needed to support the three million inhabitants of Amsterdam and Vienna
