Sustainability and technological advancements are becoming increasingly intertwined, and it's more important than ever to find innovative solutions that enhance both efficiency and energy savings in the agro industry.
At SOBY, we have always been passionate about challenging the status quo, and with the introduction of IoT (Internet of Things), we are taking yet another step towards shaping the future of energy-saving technologies. While the exact solutions we are currently developing remain undisclosed, you can dive into our fundamental and most evident methods for achieving energy savings in the agroindustry.
In the agro industry, energy optimization focuses on reducing costs, minimizing environmental impact, and complying with EU regulations. Significant energy savings can often be achieved in both technology and production, with minor adjustments resulting in notably lower electricity consumption, extended product lifespan, and reduced operational costs.
Tailored solutions: We avoid oversized systems that create energy waste and ensure we meet precise needs.
Durable materials: We use materials requiring minimal maintenance and with extended lifespans.
Continuous production improvements: We optimize our production processes to minimize waste and reduce energy consumption.
Lower energy costs: We strive to lower electricity consumption, enabling savings for our customers.
Extended lifespan: Optimized systems experience less wear, which prolongs equipment life.
Reduced CO2 emissions: Energy-efficient solutions reduce both our and our customers' environmental footprint.
The fan makes the difference: An essential energy-saving technology at SOBY is our fan technology. Fans play a central role in processes such as drying, aeration, and cooling of grains. By adjusting the fan's capacity and pressure, we achieve significant energy savings while ensuring high operational reliability and extended lifespan. For farmers, this is particularly crucial to meeting the EU’s mandatory energy requirements.
Automation in our production: We employ advanced automation and robotics, which not only streamline our production, but also reduce energy consumption. One example is our fiber laser, which has reduced electricity consumption for laser cutting by 100,000 kWh annually compared to our previous CO2 laser cutter.
We are continuously working on developing the IoT solutions of the future, which have the potential to revolutionize energy savings in the agroindustry. While we cannot yet reveal specific projects, we can already hint that exciting innovations are on the way, combining advanced technology with sustainability and efficiency. Stay tuned!
