LED sign manufacturer sees ROI in less than 6 months of installing Eniscope
Sustainability was a growing concern for world-leading LED display sign manufacturer, Daktronics. So, with the support of Best.Energy Partner, Energy Data Solutions, they deployed the Eniscope energy monitoring system across two production lines.
With granular energy usage data, Daktronics had the goal of reducing their environmental impact and cutting production costs, and the solution was effective enough to yield a return on investment in under 6 months.

The Challenge
After collaborating with a sustainability consultant, Daktronics identified energy efficiency as an area with the potential for valuable energy and cost savings across two production lines, and energy monitoring would give them the data visibility needed for decision-making. Some of their key concerns were:
- Sustainability credentials
- Environmental impact
- Operational efficiency
- Cost savings
The Solution
Energy Data Solutions implemented granular, asset-level monitoring on 30 key assets across two production lines. This allowed them to profile energy usage across the production lines and pinpoint waste and opportunities for efficiency.
The Results
Eniscope provided clear minute-by-minute visibility across the production lines, identifying two vital opportunities to reduce energy use at Daktronics:
- Compressor usage for nitrogen production.
- Scheduling of their THT production line.
Both of these areas were running for longer than required for manufacturing, unnecessarily wasting energy. This highlighted a golden opportunity for optimised scheduling which reduced the kWh usage by over 12%, saving Daktronics €23,450 annually and providing a rapid return on investment in less than 6 months.
