GM at Elis Hoogeveen1: Last year, thanks to Schneider Electric and Vartex, we ran 32% more batches at the same cost. (…)
Good monitoring gives you clearer insight into everything. Such as: How soiled are those clothes? Can’t this be done with a lighter washing program? So that you use fewer chemicals, but also that you need much less time. In principle, you can save 50% of your time. And then you can run 50% more machines. That can ultimately save you a lot of money.
