Southwire's Strategic Move into Energy Efficiency with Ndustrial

Southwire Company, LLC, a leader in the wire and cable industry, is stepping up its commitment to sustainability with a new investment in Ndustrial, an innovative AI-powered platform designed to enhance energy efficiency in industrial settings. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in Southwire's ongoing efforts to promote sustainable practices within its operations and those of its customers.

As a key player in the industrial sector, Southwire recognizes the urgent need for effective energy management solutions. The integration of Ndustrial's technology aligns with their mission to achieve operational efficiency while addressing environmental challenges. This collaboration is particularly noteworthy as Ndustrial currently boasts the largest deployment of energy management solutions in food logistics, processing a staggering 100 million data points daily across 122 facilities in 17 countries.

Ndustrial’s platform stands out in the industry as it is the first and only solution that integrates seamlessly with over 60 different industrial data systems. This breakthrough offers customers access to critical analytics and proactive suggestions that not only aim to minimize energy consumption but also significantly reduce carbon emissions. Se Oh, Southwire's Vice President of Operational Sustainability, emphasized that the investment reflects a commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability, stating, "Their energy management platform empowers industrial facilities to optimize production processes, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions."

Utilizing advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and IoT, Ndustrial assists well over 400 facilities, representing over 10% of the food supply chain, in streamlining their operations. The company's innovative solutions help clients shift production schedules to lower costs effectively, optimize energy use in distribution centers, and generally make data-driven decisions. Ndustrial has made significant advancements in the last year, installing 304 meters, 388 sensors, 47 gateways, and 11 edge devices for its customers to gather crucial data for energy management.

Jason Massey, CEO of Ndustrial, remarked on the transformative nature of data in energy management, saying, "Industrial leaders understand that energy intelligence is a strategic imperative, and that has driven exceptional growth for our platform in the past year. We're seeing firsthand how data-driven energy management is transforming industrial operations."

In a move to further its sustainability goals, Southwire plans to implement Ndustrial’s technology in multiple manufacturing facilities. This initiative aligns with Southwire’s Growing Green agenda, which aims to optimize production and cut carbon emissions. Additionally, Southwire is set to supply wire and cable solutions for Ndustrial's electric transport refrigeration units, which are pivotal in electrifying diesel-powered chillers, achieving operational cost reductions of up to 33% and emission reductions as high as 70%.

Charles Hume, Managing Director of Southwire Technology Ventures, emphasized the company's commitment to leading sustainable energy management practices. He noted, "As a worldwide leader in power delivery, Southwire looks forward to partnering with Ndustrial to advance sustainable energy management for large industrial facilities."

This investment from Southwire not only highlights its belief in the potential of Ndustrial's energy efficiency solutions but also underscores the growing trend within industries to prioritize sustainability as part of their core operational strategies.
