Fuji Electric's technologies for energy measurement and optimization make it possible to :

  • Accurately determine your energy consumption for water, air, gas, electricity and steam (W.A.G.E.S.)
  • Monitor your air emissions
  • Calculate the efficiency of your systems
  • Set up your energy performance indicators
  • Optimize your equipment
  • Improve the control of your industrial processes
  • Anticipate your needs

Applications


Having a detailed map of energy consumption and highlighting the main areas where savings can be made helps to improve productivity, quality and competitiveness. Implementing state-of-the-art technologies and efficient operating practices is crucial to improving the energy efficiency of industrial utilities. Potential savings are often poorly exploited, even though the gains to be made are both rapid and substantial.

Measuring instruments such as flowmeters, pressurepressure transmitterslevel probes, energy meters and temperature probes ensure precise, continuous monitoring of your processes. These devices guarantee control of your energy consumption, with water metering, steam metering, thermal energy metering, condensate metering, electricity metering, compressed air metering or fuelmetering (gas, fuel oil and hydrogenmetering, etc.).

They help you detect possible drifts and malfunctions, prevent breakdowns, and optimize maintenance operations. Thanks to these field instruments, you can reduce industrial plant costs.

Gasanalysers enable you to monitor your atmospheric emissions andoptimize your industrial processes.


Definition and importance of industrial utilities

Industrial utilities are energy services essential to the smooth running of industrial production processes. They include electricity, water, steam, gas, compressed air and refrigeration. These utilities play a crucial role in industrial performance, helping to maintain product quality, reduce production costs and improve competitiveness.

What are industrial utilities?

Industrial utilities are energy services required to operate industrial production equipment and processes. They can be produced in-house or purchased from external suppliers. Industrial utilities are essential for maintaining product quality, reducing production costs and improving competitiveness.

The role of industrial utilities in the energy transition

Industrial utilities play an important role in the energy transition, as they can be used to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Companies can adopt strategies to improve the energy efficiency of their industrial utilities, such as using renewable energy sources, implementing energy management systems and reducing energy losses.

National low-carbon strategy and decarbonization of industry

The national low-carbon strategy is an action plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in France and Europe. Decarbonizing industry is a key element of this strategy, as industry is one of the main sectors emitting greenhouse gases.

Objectives and challenges of decarbonizing industry

The aims of decarbonizing industry are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of renewable energy sources. The stakes involved in decarbonizing industry are high, as they can have a significant impact on business competitiveness and job creation. Companies need to adopt strategies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and improve their energy efficiency. Integrating renewable energies into the energy mix also helps to improve energy efficiency and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
