Eaton Modernizes Its Manufacturing Footprint With Two New Smart Factories - Seite 2

Digitalizing a legacy site

Operating for nearly two decades and employing more than 370 people, the Changzhou site has implemented advanced technologies including additive manufacturing, factory simulation, autonomous robots, and augmented reality, among others, to digitalize its operations and realize a 26% increase in overall factory efficiency. A connected learning center provides employees with an immersive learning experience before they enter the factory floor.

Eaton’s Intelligent Energy Management solution (available in APAC only) integrates digital and intelligent solutions at the site to optimize power supply from utilities, Photovoltaic solar panels, and an energy storage battery based on the most economical choice. The solution monitors all electrical power usage at the site in real time and reports any abnormalities, allowing for early identification and detection of energy-saving opportunities. Since 2018, Changzhou has decreased greenhouse gas emissions by 50%.

The company continues to invest in its manufacturing, planning to go live with three additional smart factories by the end of 2024, including locations in Austria, Brazil, and the United States. This further investment in North American manufacturing complements the almost $750 million announced in 2023.
