Controlling energy consumption in multi-site environments
With multiple operational sites, continuous activity, and diverse energy uses (production, refrigeration, catering, etc.), Ninkasi needed to improve visibility over its consumption. The lack of centralized monitoring made it difficult to identify anomalies, compare sites, and implement effective optimization actions.
Key requirements
Real-time energy consumption monitoring
In a multi-site context such as Ninkasi's, the ability to monitor energy consumption in real time is essential for effectively managing performance. The teams required a solution capable of collecting and centralizing data from various equipment (electricity, refrigeration, production, etc.) to obtain an instantaneous and reliable overview of energy use.
The implementation of DAT’Power converts this field data into actionable indicators, accessible at any time via clear and customized dashboards.
Rapid detection of deviations and anomalies
One of the major challenges was to quickly identify consumption drift and anomalies that could impact energy costs and overall site performance. Without an adapted tool, these deviations often go unnoticed or are detected too late.
Thanks to DAT’Power, intelligent alerts are set up to automatically detect abnormal behavior, allowing technical teams to intervene quickly and limit excess consumption.
Cross-site performance analysis and comparison
With multiple facilities, Ninkasi needed to compare energy performance across its different sites to identify gaps and best practices. This benchmarking is essential for standardizing processes and optimizing overall performance.
The DAT’Power platform supports this approach by providing a consolidated, multi-site view, enabling standardized data analysis and the management of large-scale improvement actions.
Centralization and exploitation of energy data
Data dispersion across disparate systems and equipment made data utilization complex and limited monitoring capabilities. The objective was to centralize all energy data into a single platform capable of structuring and leveraging this information.
With DAT’Power, all data is aggregated, historized, and contextualized, providing a solid foundation for analysis, decision-making, and continuous energy performance optimization.
What we deployed for the client
A multi-site energy monitoring solution based on DAT’Power
Implementation of the DAT’Power solution to collect and centralize data from the various energy assets across the sites.
Deployment of sensors and connection to existing systems to ensure reliable data transmission.
Creation of customized dashboards to monitor key performance indicators (consumption, usage, performance) in real time.
Configuration of alerts to automatically detect anomalies and support decision-making.
"We wanted to make a significant step forward in improving our energy consumption with our new production facility. Knowing that you can only improve what you measure, we chose DAT’Power because it allows us to consolidate all our data (production, water, gas, electricity, etc.) onto a single portal. Thanks to rigorous technical support and the flexibility of the solution, the economic impact was realized quickly. The alerting system helps us react promptly to leaks and drift."

Implementation of customized dashboards
Dashboards have been configured in DAT’Power to meet the needs of field teams and managers. These interfaces allow users to visualize energy consumption, monitor key indicators, and analyze performance by site or by usage.
The platform's ergonomics facilitate access to information and enable rapid data reading, which is essential for effective daily decision-making.
Deployment of alerts and performance indicators
To anticipate deviations, intelligent alerts have been implemented in DAT’Power. These alerts automatically detect consumption anomalies and notify teams in the event of abnormal behavior.
Energy performance indicators have also been defined to track consumption trends over time and measure the impact of implemented actions.
Results
Improved visibility into energy consumption
With DAT’Power, Ninkasi now has a clear and centralized view of energy consumption across all its sites. Teams can access real-time data and analyze energy usage patterns more effectively.
This transparency enables rapid identification of the most energy-intensive processes and objective prioritization of optimization measures.
Increased responsiveness to process drift
Implementing alerts enables rapid anomaly detection and immediate action. Teams are now capable of responding more quickly, which limits overconsumption and associated losses.
This proactive approach contributes to improving the overall energy performance of the sites.
Optimized energy management
With reliable and centralized data, Ninkasi can manage its energy consumption more efficiently and track the impact of the actions implemented. Site-to-site comparison also enables the identification of best practices and their deployment on a larger scale.
This improved management translates into tighter control over energy costs and continuous performance optimization.
A solid foundation for a continuous improvement process
Beyond immediate efficiency gains, deploying DAT’Power allows Ninkasi to establish a structured, continuous improvement process. The collected data serves as an objective reference to support decision-making, optimize industrial processes, and implement long-term actions.
