About The Customer
Vention Medical is a global leader in complex medical device design development, manufacturing, and assembly. With a recently formed Sustainability Council, Vention's cultural focus on innovation extends into every facet of its business. In just 3 months, Verdigris enabled Vention Medical to uncover thousands of dollars in energy monitoring gaps and cost savings in the pursuit of manufacturing more sustainable products. Vention Medical operates 13 facilities worldwide and has a strong commitment to sustainability, driven by both internal policies and external customer demands for environmentally conscious healthcare supplies.
The Challenge
Hospital sustainability policies and demand for environmentally conscious healthcare supplies drove Vention to Verdigris. Vention was seeking energy data metrics, particularly validation of energy usage and insights for potential savings. With 13 facilities and a newly formed sustainability council, Vention needed a tool to easily identify and quantify hidden potential cost savings. They also needed a reliable system to track equipment malfunction to maintain sensitive environments which are critical to medical device manufacturing. Vention selected their Sunnyvale office, which has several clean rooms, for the proof-of-concept test. They wanted to learn how to best prevent downtime for important equipment such as HVAC, which could jeopardize FDA-approved clean room conditions, contaminate materials, and ultimately increase production costs. Vention approached Verdigris to get help going above and beyond their customers’ specific requirements for sustainability.
The Solution
Verdigris quickly installed proprietary hardware and was immediately able to showcase data from Vention’s lighting and HVAC systems. Vention team members viewed their energy data with an online dashboard, and also received custom monthly reports to highlight energy trends and uncover inefficiencies. Working together, Verdigris provided depth of data and breadth of actionable recommendations that audiences across the company understood. Verdigris’ advanced data tracking provided Vention an example of how to get ahead of increased reporting requirements from their buyers. Verdigris was able to go above and beyond what local utilities provide, notifying Vention about equipment downtime and parsing out usage by end-use in real time.
Operational Impact
  • Vention was very pleased with Verdigris' quick installation without building downtime, and its user-friendly insights.
  • Verdigris was able to notify Vention about equipment downtime and parse out usage by end-use in real time.
  • Verdigris data revealed Vention was being charged for peak demand hours and that a cheaper plan was available to them, simply by changing the way they were being billed.
  • With Verdigris’ real-time data, companies like Vention can gain greater insight into achievable sustainability goals.
  • Verdigris helps companies reach their sustainability and cost savings goals, whether it’s starting with low-hanging fruit or progressing along deeper savings.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Now on track to save $3,000 a year.
