Hyperbat

The Challenge

As a manufacturer of high-performance EV batteries, Hyperbat faced rising energy costs across its advanced production facility.

Without real-time visibility into consumption patterns, the business had no clear way to align energy use with production cycles, or identify and prioritise where significant savings could be made, impacting both operational efficiency and margins.

The Solution

Unipart partnered with Hyperbat to implement the EI. energy control system, to help operational leaders act in real-time, optimise energy consumption, and make data-led decisions that protect their business operations and profitability.

We installed smart sensors across key machinery, production lines, and HVAC systems. The platform immediately revealed significant energy loads running outside of core production hours and highlighted specific equipment inefficiencies.

Using AI-generated recommendations and guidance from our Energy Gurus, the Hyperbat team adjusted equipment start-up schedules and implemented protocols to shut down idle assets, turning data into rapid savings.

The Impact

The solution provided Hyperbat with the actionable insight from energy data needed to integrate energy management directly into production planning.

By identifying invisible energy waste and receiving instant insights into profit-impacting energy risks, Hyperbat significantly reduced its annual energy costs and carbon footprint. This delivered a substantial return on investment and has supported a culture of continuous energy improvement within their advanced manufacturing operations.

  • 188,000 kWh of energy waste identified
  • £42,000 of cost savings built into business sustainability plan
  • Reduction in scope 2 and 3 (Cat 3) carbon emissions
  • ROI in under 9 months
