Description
The aim of the project is to optimize the resource utilization through digitization of operations in Estover Dairy Industry OÜ. The production of a company is resource intensive and resources are not currently measured, analyzed nor digitally controlled.
The system upgrade will make the resource use system more traceable and will ultimately lead to overall control and monitoring of the entire process. Together with the upgrading of energy accounting, steam system, laundry system and production planning, and personnel accounting, the project will create readiness for energy and resource savings and digitalization of the entire labor-intensive process. Process digitalization allows for faster management decisions and continuous seamless production processes within the company.
Project is implemented without partners.
Summary of project results
The planned activities of the project have been implemented and project has been successfully completed. 2021 proved to be a challenge to the company due to the increase in the price of all inputs necessary for operations (raw milk, electricity, fuel oil, labor costs). At the same time, the change in selling prices of dairy products was not correlated with the increase in input prices. As a result of the investment, resource-efficient energy use is guaranteed. Although the implementation of the project differed from what was originally planned due to restrictions and supply problems due to COVID-19, the Project Promoter ensured that the activities were implemented on time. Project communication activities have been implemented in accordance with the communication plan. Company''s website (https://www.estover.ee/norway-grants-green-ict-programme/) reflects the project information and communication requirements have been fulfilled. The results of the project have been presented to the educational institutions cooperating with the company and the company''s cooperation partners.
2 new positions have been established during the project. Project resulted with CO2 emissions reduction of 244.10 tons of CO2 equivalents and decrease of energy consumption by 567.81 MWh. Estimated growth in net operational profit was 6%.
