PowerX Cube 360: Spearheading Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing

In a significant move toward sustainable energy solutions, PowerX Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has delivered its medium-sized industrial energy storage system, the PowerX Cube 360, to Awakura Electric Co., based in the city of Mimasaka, Okayama. This collaboration marks an important step in enhancing energy efficiency within the manufacturing sector.

Awakura Electric specializes in manufacturing precise plastic components for automotive use. To optimize energy utilization, the company has integrated the PowerX Cube 360 with its existing rooftop solar power system. By capturing excess electricity generated during the day, this energy storage solution enables the plant to utilize that power during peak demand periods and night hours. This initiative is expected to significantly increase the rate of self-consumption of electricity at manufacturing facilities, thereby promoting more efficient energy management practices.

As manufacturing industries globally seek to reduce carbon emissions and operational costs, Awakura Electric's approach serves as a model for others in the field. The measures implemented at their base could inspire similar strategies across different sectors, fostering a collective movement towards greener manufacturing processes.

The PowerX Cube 360, produced at PowerX’s own factory, the Power Base, in the city of Tamano, Okayama, is the first of its kind to be employed within the prefecture. This domestically manufactured energy storage system boasts a storage capacity of 358 kWh and a system output of 80 kW, making it a robust solution for industrial energy needs. The integrated onsite solar power system at Awakura Electric has an output of 316 kW, ensuring a substantial amount of renewable energy to be harnessed.

PowerX continues to commit to contributing to decarbonization efforts throughout Okayama and surrounding regions by supplying high-quality and reliable energy storage systems from its manufacturing base in Tamano. The company aims to play a vital role in advancing sustainable energy practices and is eager to expand its reach throughout Japan.
