ANT Solutions Partners with AGC NordGlass for Advanced Energy Management 

ANT Solutions, a leader in production optimisation, is excited to announce a new cooperation with AGC NordGlass, a Polish automotive glass manufacturing giant. This partnership marks a significant step towards enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability in the manufacturing sector. 

The Project Scope: ANT Solutions will implement its ANT Smart Factory Energy Monitoring System (EMS) across various operational segments of AGC NordGlass. This ambitious project aims to revolutionize energy management by focusing on the following areas: 

• Electricity: Enhanced monitoring and optimisation of electricity usage. 
• Water: Efficient management and reduction of water consumption. 
• Heating: Mitigation of thermal energy consumption. 
• Compressed Air: Optimisation of compressed air usage in manufacturing processes. 
• Process Parameter: Improved control and efficiency in machines operations. 
• Temperature: Temperature regulation for optimal operational conditions. 

System implementation: The latest version of ANT Smart Facotry’s EMS system will be implemented, enabling real-time media monitoring and management. The EMS system will be integrated with AGC NordGlass’ ERP solution to provide a real-time data flow and enable data correlation with production processes.   

Installation and equipment scope: The project includes cabling and installation of equipment on site, meter installation, bus construction and integration with existing temperature sensors and process signals. The hardware supplied by ANT Solutions will include the meters and communication modules required for efficient operation of the EMS. In addition, the implementation will include the supply and installation of communication modules and edge devices. The system will use MODBUS RTU, M-BUS and OPC UA protocols for comprehensive communication and data management.
