The Challenge
As a flagship project in Panasonic's sustainability vision, H2 KIBOU FIELD exemplifies their commitment to a carbon-neutral future, powered by hydrogen and renewable energy. The facility plays a critical role in demonstrating the feasibility of a clean energy future. However, managing energy efficiency across disparate systems—such as hydrogen fuel cells, solar power arrays, and facility management tools—proved challenging. Panasonic needed a solution to centralize real-time data for optimal performance and to deliver comprehensive, data-backed insights to its clients.
The Solution
MODE deployed its BizStack IoT platform to consolidate Panasonic’s previously fragmented systems into a unified data ecosystem. The platform integrated sensors, energy management systems, and hydrogen fuel cell data into a single, real-time dashboard. This allowed Panasonic to seamlessly monitor energy consumption, system performance, and environmental conditions across the facility. With automated data collection, all critical systems were interconnected, enabling operators to have a clear, real-time view of the facility’s operational efficiency and sustainability metrics.
Real-Time Monitoring: Panasonic now had continuous, real-time visibility into energy usage, equipment performance, and renewable energy contributions. The facility could make data-driven adjustments immediately, ensuring that all systems were running optimally at all times.
Centralized Data from Disparate Systems: By integrating previously isolated systems into one cohesive dashboard, MODE enabled Panasonic to streamline operations, improve communication between facility systems, and reduce the complexity of managing their carbon-neutral infrastructure.
Automated Insights and Reporting: The platform generated automated reports, turning vast amounts of raw data into actionable insights that Panasonic used to refine operations and enhance customer proposals.
The Results
Real-time data allowed Panasonic to identify inefficiencies and make immediate adjustments, optimizing energy consumption across the facility and supporting its sustainability goals. The disparate energy sources and facility management systems were consolidated into one dashboard, simplifying operational oversight and enhancing overall facility performance. The real-time data, combined with automated reporting, empowered Panasonic to showcase the effectiveness of its hydrogen and renewable energy solutions to clients with concrete, real-time insights. This boosted the quality of customer interactions and proposals.
