xChange Point Energy Intelligence Solution Provides Platform to Achieve Sustainability Goals
Costa Mesa, CA – September 28, 2010 – EPS Corp today announced that Avon Products, Inc. selected EPS’ xChange Point® real-time energy management and carbon reduction solution as a technology to help the company drive continuous improvement in energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives at the company’s Morton Grove, Illinois facility. xChange Point will be initially deployed at this manufacturing plant to monitor and analyze current energy consumption, identify areas for the greatest improvement and design a strategy to increase overall plant energy efficiency.
Having curtailed its energy consumption by 13.25% per unit from 2004 to 2008, Avon is already on the forefront of sustainability. The company has set a goal of further lowering energy consumption per-unit-produced an additional 10% by 2012. Avon selected EPS because of the capabilities of the xChange Point software as a service, backed by the company’s experienced energy engineers to help them identify the next level of energy efficiency projects to achieve their objectives at their Morton Grove facility. This will allow the plant engineering team to focus on installing new production lines at the facility and keeping the plant’s manufacturing processes running optimally.
EPS’ xChange Point system is deployed by multiple Fortune 1000 manufacturing companies to understand and reduce their energy, water and carbon profiles across their facilities enterprise-wide. This solution enables companies to continuously monitor real-time energy use and carbon metrics across all their facilities, identify the most effective opportunities to reduce costs while improving sustainability and the ability to track and monitor the carbon reductions according to industry standards – all from a single solution.
“Avon has aggressive energy reduction and corporate sustainability goals, and has a demonstrated track record of energy efficiency success,” said Jay Zoellner, Chief Executive Officer of EPS Corp. “So we are very pleased that Avon believes our expertise, deployed in real time through xChange Point, adds value to their efforts and will advance their sustainability successes.”
