Benchmark
Compare performance. Identify opportunities. Improve efficiency.
What is Benchmarking?
Making good glass at the lowest possible cost is what drives your business. Our Benchmarking Solution is your gateway to sustainable and more efficient glass production. By combining operational data with CelSian’s database and expertise, we benchmark your energy use and CO₂ emissions against other furnaces within your company and, anonymously, against similar furnaces worldwide. This reveals trends, performance gaps, and opportunities to improve energy consumption with confidence.
When comparing data over multiple years, our tool can also present a furnace's performance over its lifetime, including the aging effects. This provides insights for informed decisions on maintenance, optimization, and the optimal timing for furnace rebuilds.
How Benchmarking Helps
Uses standardized KPIs to position your furnace across plants and industry peers and within your company.
Highlights efficiency gaps and areas with the highest room for improvement, including the estimated savings when reaching best-in-class position.
Insights into how to achieve these energy savings based on process and/or technological solutions
Compare energy performance across all furnaces and locations to identify best-performing sites, uncover improvement potential, and evaluate energy and cost differences under varying regional conditions.
Why CelSian's Benchmarking Solution?
Our solution allows you to compare the energy efficiency of your furnace against a comprehensive, global dataset of 500+, while ensuring the full confidentiality and anonymity of your data.
To provide accurate and meaningful insights, comparisons are based on normalized data, taking key process conditions into account, including:
- Cullet fraction.
- Furnace aging.
- Electrical boosting.
- Pull rate.
This ensures a true like-for-like (apple-to-apple) comparison, helping you identify improvement opportunities without compromising sensitive information.
