Powering Operational Excellence with SSM EMS at Recron Malaysia

Industry: Polyester & TextilePlant

Locations: Nilai & Melaka, Malaysia

Product Deployed: SSM Energy Management System (EMS)

Business Challenges

Recron Malaysia, one of the world’s largest integrated polyester and textile manufacturers, is fully dependent on its own power generation system to meet production needs. Managing energy efficiently across multiple facilities was critical, yet the company faced key challenges:

• Decentralized Monitoring: No centralized visibility for energy generation and distribution across 12 locations.

• Limited Device Connectivity: Multiple devices and protocols created integration complexity.

• Energy Planning Gaps: Lack of trend-based insights made day-to-day power generation planning difficult.

• Operational Inefficiencies: Missed opportunities for optimizing power factor and improving energy utilization.
