Project experience

Industrial work with concrete outcomes

These projects were delivered by team members in previous organizations. They explain the methods and practical experience behind today’s capabilities, with each project’s scope and reported outcomes kept distinct.

The work undertaken

A previous project at a major nonferrous metals group established business management systems and integrated operational management across more than 30 principal production enterprises.

Outcome measures and project scope

Project materials report annual energy-cost savings of 10% and an overall yield improvement of 3–10% over five years. The measures have distinct periods and definitions.

How this informs today’s products

Experience with group-wide business management systems and deployment across production enterprises informs product use and handover at multiple factories. Each new deployment is configured for the factory’s own equipment, records and permissions.

Intelligent energy dispatch in steelmaking

Coordinate energy across processes to reduce gas venting losses

Historical industrial-platform project · Outcomes reported by the original project material

3%energy savings

The project reports reduced gas venting losses, dynamic network balance and a 1% increase in overall output

The work undertaken

At a northern Chinese steel group with annual capacity of 10 million tonnes, the existing EMS collected and displayed data but provided limited support for dispatch. Gas, steam and compressed-air supply and demand were imbalanced, and exception assessment relied mainly on staff experience.

Investigate energy supply and demand across processes
Repeated site investigations covered nearly 10 processes, including coking, to define the dispatch work around imbalances in gas, steam and compressed-air supply and demand.
Model specific dispatch arrangements
At least 15 energy models, including guidance for staggered hot-blast stove operation, provided a computational basis for allocating resources across processes.
Support dispatchers in coordinating energy use
Gas, steam and compressed-air navigation tools, together with cross-process resource scheduling, supported a move from individual experience toward dispatch decisions based on data and model results.

Outcome measures and project scope

Under “Results achieved,” the original project material reports lower blast-furnace and coke-oven gas venting losses, dynamic balance in the gas network, a 1% increase in overall output and 3% energy savings. These are overall results of this energy-dispatch project.

The material estimates total economic benefit at nearly RMB 42 million: 10 million tonnes of capacity × 1% additional output × RMB 300 profit per tonne gives RMB 30 million from output, plus RMB 12 million attributed to energy savings.

Separately: cost improvement across several steel projects

An expert’s career profile reports a 5–15% reduction in cost per tonne across several steel enterprises. This cross-project summary is separate from the 3% energy savings in the northern steel case above; the projects and measures differ.

How this informs today’s products

In that project, the data platform connected energy records across processes to the dispatch task. Models, including one for staggered hot-blast stove operation, supported the calculation of operating arrangements that dispatchers used to coordinate supply and demand. Be Water’s planned data and industrial-analysis products build on this connection between records, models and dispatch work.

The work undertaken

A special-steel project established material digital twins and dynamic quality-tracking systems for forging and specialty metallurgy, linking production processes with inspection records.

Outcome measures and project scope

The work produced systems and two technical white papers, supporting specialists investigating quality issues in materials and production.

How this informs today’s products

The planned Industrial Platform is designed to organize records around materials, process steps and inspections, helping specialists trace relevant information and check the materials and processing stages associated with a quality issue.

EQUIPMENT OPERATION · MINING

Connect monitoring and diagnosis to equipment operation

The operating problem

A mining operation faced dust-collection equipment faults, manual operating effort and production losses. The historical project combined remote dust monitoring, anomaly warning and fault identification with operating and cleaning controls.

What the project material reports

This is a team member’s project experience from a previous organization, not a Be Water delivery. The case reports a 50% reduction in maintenance costs and a 20% reduction in electricity costs for that dust-collection project. These results belong to the original project and its scope.

How the experience informs today’s applications

The work connects equipment conditions, professional methods, site action and subsequent results. It provides practical experience for equipment-specific monitoring and maintenance applications, with the applicable equipment and operating conditions defined for each deployment.
