Energy Efficiency Sucks: Why the Traditional Approach Fails.

Since 2022, energy prices have tripled and energy markets have become more volatile than ever. Still, you, industrial manufacturers leaders, are up against controlling costs, at the time you are under pressure to decarbonize. While you are bleeding cash, yet with existing solutions, you haven’t yet found a way out.

Globally, industrial manufacturing accounts for over 30% of all emissions. $700 billion were poured into energy efficiency in 2024, but the result was a weak 1% improvement. Why? The traditional approach to energy management is outdated, complex, and requires constant human intervention. It’s simply not working.

 

That’s where BeChained comes in.

Process Optimization Solution for industrial manufacturing

We built an AI-powered Plug-and-Play Operating System that takes control of energy costs, CO2 emissions and machine uptime in specific production processes.

We guarantee a cut in energy use

and machine downtime by +20%

in specific production processes

Water management

Thermal processes (i.e. furnaces, pasteurizers,…)

Air compressors

Extractor hoods

Grinders

Case Studies

Steel and other alloys

Discover how Bechained is working with some of the world’s leading Steel manufacturers to create and certify green steel.

Paper and cardboard

Bechained works alongside Europe's leading paper and cardboard mills and has reduced consumption by over 30% across multiple sites.

Food preparation

Learn more about how Bechain's AI driven energy monitoring is helping food production plants save power and create even greener products.

Physical AI to automatize operational  efficiency

Continuous Process Optimization

Autonomous & Plug-and-Play OS

  • Autonomous Decision-Making: Unlike traditional, hard-coded systems, our type of AI (called Reinforcement Learning) is an autonomous Operative System for manufacturers, built on a patented method. It is Plug-and-Play: it learns from every action and adapts to ever-changing production environments (i.e. machine wear, external air humidity, market price).
  • Predictive Maintenance: By continuously monitoring machine data, our system not only optimizes for energy, but also detects anomalies, allowing you to prevent downtimes before they occur.
  • Zero Client Input: Continuous savings delivered with less emissions and greater uptime. Best of all? No client input needed.

Key benefits

  • We guarantee +20% energy use reduction. Then, continuously 5% Year-to-Year,
  • And equally cuts CO2 emissions (scope 1 and 2).
  • This translates in a 7% cut on COGS.
  • The implementation costs can be compensated with incomes from ETS.
  • It converts energy efficiency into Demand-Side Response: a new revenue stream for manufacturers.
