Explore how Ecolibrium’s SmartSense helped India’s largest beer company improve refrigeration energy efficiency at their Goa brewery. It helped optimise energy use and reduce emissions. The platform delivered AI powered, data driven insights for the refrigeration system while balancing sustainability with operational excellence.

Outcome summary  

• Uncovered a 20% potential for energy savings in the refrigeration system’s chillers. 
• Increased cooling efficiency by 41.8% by optimising operations with data-driven insights. 
• Achieved an 18% potential reduction in carbon emissions through improved chiller energy efficiency. 

Challenges faced 

The client struggled to monitor chiller efficiency (ikW/TR) at their Goa brewery due to data limitations, so our goal was to accurately track ikW/TR and optimise the system, since refrigeration accounts for 30–40% of brewery energy use and supports rapid sustainability progress and net zero objectives.

The Solution  

Building on Ecolibrium SmartSense’s success in chiller optimisation at the Goa brewery, a flagship facility, the solution is now expanding to 11 more sites. Through comprehensive analysis of chillers, plate heat exchangers, compressors, and condensers, the platform enables operational excellence and energy management by optimising refrigeration and reducing emissions, while this adaptable and transparent approach enables significant cost and energy savings and positions the client as a leader in sustainable brewing.

The Outcome  

Ecolibrium’s SmartSense identified a 20% energy efficiency potential within the chillers, and following targeted maintenance interventions, achieved a 41.8% improvement in cooling efficiency; these enhancements have enabled a potential 18% reduction in carbon emissions, supporting both operational excellence and sustainability goals .

The Impact  

Ecolibrium’s SmartSense at Goa brewery monitored refrigeration, tracked chiller performance (ikW/TR), and identified inefficiencies in PHEs, compressors, condensers, and DSH units with AI/ML. It detected temperature logic issues and capacity overruns, reducing glycol outlet temperature by 41.8% and boosting system cooling to improve refrigeration energy efficiency.
