Food Manufacturing
For the diverse and extensive food and drink manufacturing sector, reliable processes and the avoidance of disruption is vital to ensure products are delivered to the high standards required.
Any interruption, including power disruption, that could bring vital equipment offline or delay sensitive manufacturing processes risks significant wastage and spoil. Each disruption has the potential to cause considerable damage to productivity and profitability.
How to achieve power resilience for your manufacturing site
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system based on a battery energy storage system offers protection from the impact of grid disruption, while offering more flexible power management than traditional UPS solutions. In the event of a disruption event where grid supply is lost, rapid switching backup storage ensures that manufacturing processes continue as normal. This is particularly crucial for many food and drink manufacturers with high volume production lines.
A site-wide resilience solution allows your entire manufacturing site to be effectively protected from the risk of power disruption, rather than just key equipment. A well-implemented power resilience solution offers the ability to continue manufacturing processes regardless of events on the grid and your local network, while offering a comprehensive range of energy management solutions to cut costs and carbon.
Effective power management beyond power resilience
For the food and drink manufacturing sector, the rapid movement of many major retailers towards net zero means that pressure is mounting on supply chains to follow suit. Driven by changing sentiments amongst consumers, demonstrating a genuine commitment to reducing emissions is vital.
Resilience+ utilises a battery energy storage system not only to protect from power disruption, but to significantly reduce carbon emissions by making greater use of on-site generation or bolstering energy efficiency. With rising energy costs a significant concern for many manufacturers, energy efficiency is a crucial way to reduce overheads.
