Kellogg's
Kellogg's improves its energy efficiency with AVEVA PI System
To meet its 10-year energy reduction goals covering natural gas, electricity and water consumption, Kellogg's made AVEVA PI System the backbone of its data infrastructure. Without a precise, data-driven view of its plants' energy consumption, it was difficult for the group to effectively optimize its energy efficiency and assets. With AVEVA PI System, Kellogg's now has a clear understanding of where, when and how its sites consume energy, enabling it to reduce costs, optimize its energy consumption and strengthen its sustainability commitments. The digital transformation supported by AVEVA is fully aligned with the company's environmental strategy.

FAQ
How does AVEVA PI System help food manufacturers meet their energy targets?
AVEVA PI System continuously collects natural gas, electricity and water consumption data across Kellogg's sites. This industrial data management platform provides a granular view of energy use: where, when and how energy is consumed. Teams quickly identify deviations and savings opportunities, aligning operations with ten-year reduction targets. It is a pillar of digital transformation supporting the group's industrial performance and sustainability strategy.
What financial results has Kellogg's achieved with AVEVA PI System?
At a single plant, Kellogg's generated $3.3 million in annual savings, plus an additional $1.8 million in energy rebates. Beyond these immediate gains, AVEVA PI System made it possible to establish a steady downward trend in gas, electricity and water consumption. These results show how a real-time data management platform can transform the industrial performance of a global food and beverage company while strengthening its environmental commitments.
Why is a data-driven approach essential to optimize a plant's energy efficiency?
Without reliable, contextualized data, energy optimization actions rely on imprecise assumptions. AVEVA PI System gives Kellogg's real-time visibility into the consumption of every piece of equipment and every production line. This transparency makes it possible to prioritize investments, measure the real impact of corrective actions and manage industrial performance with objective KPIs. Data management thus becomes the foundation of a measurable continuous improvement approach.
How does AVEVA PI System contribute to a company's sustainability strategy?
AVEVA PI System provides the energy traceability needed for ESG reporting and carbon reduction commitments. At Kellogg's, the platform objectively tracks 10 years of progress in gas, electricity and water consumption. This reliable measurement is essential for communicating with stakeholders, anticipating environmental regulations and demonstrating that commitments are genuine. Digital transformation becomes a direct lever for industrial sustainability.
What ROI can be expected from deploying AVEVA PI System in the food and beverage industry?
The Kellogg's example shows a very rapid ROI: more than $5 million combined (savings + rebates) at a single plant. Across a multi-site group, the potential is multiplied. AVEVA PI System also serves as the foundation for other use cases: asset optimization, predictive maintenance and quality traceability. This platform effect amplifies the return on investment well beyond the initial energy gains, making it a strategic investment for food and beverage manufacturers.
