L'IA qui aligne énergie, production et performance

Schéma du flux HIGHCAST : données marché, jumeaux numériques des contrats et modélisation de l’usine alimentent une IA qui calcule l’ICE (Indice des coûts de l’électricité) en temps réel avec une prévision à 14 jours, pour optimiser la planification et produire du reporting.

Intégrez l’électricité au cœur de vos process

Anticipez vos coûts d’électricité jusqu’à 14 jours à l’avance

Grâce à nos jumeaux numériques, bénéficiez d’un indice unique regroupant tous les coûts d’électricité de votre usine (fourniture, transports, effacement, etc.) afin de planifier vos actions pour limiter l’impact de la volatilité.

Pilotez, mesurez et partagez les résultats de vos actions

Mesurez l’impact des flexibilités de chacun de vos sites, partagez les bonnes pratiques et impliquez chaque maillon de la chaîne de production.

Optimisez votre planification sans perturber la production

Appuyez-vous sur HIGHCAST pour ajuster vos opérations selon les coûts de l’électricité, tout en respectant vos contraintes et vos priorités industrielles.

Our sectors

The challenge

Grinding accounts for nearly half of the site’s electricity consumption.

Constraints

Production hours are limited during the day due to noise restrictions.

Flexibilities

The grinder can speed up or slow down production and feed a buffer silo.

Results

12% savings on the final electricity bill.

Our approach

Time constraints and production windows are set directly in the software.
Our platform identifies the optimal operating hours while meeting daily and weekly tonnage targets.
The production manager generates measurable electricity savings without disrupting production.

The challenge

Melting furnaces that operate between 8 and 24 hours per day, with significant overconsumption during start-up.

Constraints

Strong operational constraints and a machine load rate above 95%.

Flexibilities

Weekly planning of all melting operations with a 3 MW furnace, the first melt of which is particularly energy-intensive.

Results

20% gains thanks to optimized scheduling of melting operations.

Our approach

A technical study to identify scheduling flexibilities aligned with the plant’s challenges and operating costs, including:

Optimization of the consumption profile
Leveraging excess capacity on certain machines
Anticipation and management of grid stress days

The resulting operations and action plan are validated with operators.

The challenge

Lack of real-time visibility to adjust short-cycle batch processes (50–80 min).

Constraints

The silo filling rate must constantly remain between 30% and 90%.

Flexibilities

Silo restarts can be advanced or delayed (5 to 40 minutes), several times a day, to generate savings. This also applies to maintenance operations.

Results

7% reduction in the electricity bill.

Our approach

With HIGHCAST, operators are fully autonomous in adjusting batch process settings while respecting all production constraints.
