Southwire makes sustainability investment in AI-powered
energy intensity platform, largest energy management deployment in
food logistics
CARROLLTON, Ga., Jan. 9, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Southwire Company, LLC, is pleased to announce
a strategic investment in Ndustrial.Io, Inc., an AI-powered energy
intensity platform for industry.
Ndustrial is the largest deployment of energy management and
digitization solutions in food logistics and cold chain, processing
100 million data points daily. In the last twelve months, the
company has deployed its technology in 122 facilities across 17
countries. As the first and only platform to integrate with over 60
different industrial data systems, Ndustrial empowers customers to
access critical analytics and proactive suggestions to reduce
energy consumption and emissions.
"Our investment in Ndustrial reflects our commitment to
advancing solutions that drive both operational efficiency and
sustainability," said Se Oh, Southwire's vice president,
Operational Sustainability. "Their energy management platform
empowers industrial facilities to optimize production processes,
significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. We
are excited to support Ndustrial as they unlock new opportunities
for businesses to enhance performance while contributing to a more
sustainable future."
Using a combination of AI, machine learning, automated devices
and IoT technology, Ndustrial is helping more than 400 facilities
across more than 10% of the food supply chain do everything from
shift production timeframes to minimize costs to optimizing
distribution center energy use. The company installed 304 meters,
388 sensors, 47 gateways and 11 edge devices for customers in the
past 12 months, empowering companies to make data-driven decisions
that optimize energy efficiency and reduce costs.
"Industrial leaders understand that energy intelligence is a
strategic imperative, and that has driven exceptional growth for
our platform in the past year," said Jason
Massey, CEO of Ndustrial. "We're seeing firsthand how
data-driven energy management is transforming industrial
operations, enabling companies to turn their sustainability
commitments into strong financial results. Southwire's investment
and partnership will accelerate our journey with deep industry
expertise as we continue to scale worldwide."
As a part of its investment, Southwire plans to deploy
Ndustrial's technology at several of its own manufacturing
facilities to support its Growing Green initiative to optimize
production and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, Southwire
will serve as a wire and cable solutions supplier to Ndustrial's
electric transport refrigeration units (eTRU) power infrastructure
customers, which is electrifying diesel-fueled chillers to lower
operational costs by as much as 33% and reduce emissions by as much
as 70%.
"As a worldwide leader in power delivery, Southwire looks
forward to partnering with Ndustrial to advance sustainable energy
management for large industrial facilities," said Charles Hume, managing director, Southwire
Technology Ventures. "Ndustrial's offering has the potential to
help Southwire's own operations as well as those of Southwire's
customers."
