Lynxby DOMINION

Glass, foundry & melting furnaces Two furnaces take 80 % of consumption. And cost per tonne, until now, was an estimate.

A furnace measured unit by unit —melting, regenerators, working end, feeders— turns the bill into a cost per tonne. Lynx measures it and matches it with the tonnes from the ERP.

Plant management, energy and maintenance in glass and foundries.

The problem What it already costs you

  • The furnace is the consumption. Without measuring it unit by unit —melting, regenerators, working end, feeders— the bill arrives as one block and nobody knows which stage drifted.
  • Production lives in the ERP and energy in the meter. Cost per tonne is worked out by hand at month end, if at all.
  • ISO 50001 asks for a baseline and performance targets. Without history there is no baseline.

With Lynx What changes

  • Every furnace and every unit, with its consumption

    Electricity, natural gas, oxygen and compressed air measured per process unit, with analysis of peaks, demand and residual consumption. When a stage drifts, a deviation alarm fires: no waiting for the bill to find out which one.

  • Cost per tonne stops being an estimate

    Lynx takes the tonnes from the ERP and the measured consumption, and gives the unit cost per tonne produced, month by month.

  • A baseline for ISO 50001

    Continuous history, EnPI indicators and actual against expected. When the standard asks for the baseline and the performance targets, the history is already measured and does not have to be rebuilt from invoices.

The evidence A real installation. Its figures. Not its name.

Two glass melting furnaces
2 furnaces
accounting for around 80 % of the activity’s consumption
15,000 kW
of total monitored power
50,000 t/year
of production, with cost per tonne from the ERP
7 years
of monitored history

Electricity, gas and water analysers on the plant concentrators, integration with the furnace PLC and the SCADA, and communication with the ERP to obtain production and control the unit cost per tonne. Supporting ISO 50001 and decarbonization goals.

An iron foundry with ten furnaces
6 + 4
6 induction furnaces of 4,000 to 7,000 kW and 10 t, and 4 continuous casting furnaces of 1,000 kW and 5 t
42,000 kW
of total monitored power: monitoring it covers around 80 % of consumption
70,000 t/year
of production
1 year
of history: the first one, which is the baseline

A foundry’s first year on the platform: collecting history to control consumption and decide on measured data, not estimates. It is the baseline everything else starts from.

Figures come from real installations. A sector that cannot publish them yet says so on its page. Customer, plant and line names are not published.
