Plastics processors, through their own volition or with a gentle push from government or customers, are increasingly concerned with measuring the amount of energy they use and finding ways to cut that consumption. The good news is there are a growing number of resources to help them do just that. Tim Stojka’s energy epiphany came at his desk as he cut a sizable check for his company’s monthly utility invoice. “I was looking at the bill and I said, ‘I don’t even know where this went,’” Stojka explains. “It was kind of like signing a credit card bill with no detail.” CEO at hot runner temperature control manufacturer Fast Heat Inc. (Elmhurst, IL), Stojka decided his business, and others, could greatly benefit from knowing where and when energy was used. “You’ve heard the old mantra: If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it,” Stojka says. “That’s what’s happening with electricity. People just get this bill at the end of the month and there’s no way to really A) understand and B) measure it, so they can manage it.” Seeking to provide what he calls “energy visibility,” Stojka officially launched Agentis Energy in June at NPE2009. Using wireless sensors to track energy usage, and then sending the data to a Web-based application, Agentis is aiming to help processors better manage what is often their second-highest cost, trailing only material.
