Challenge	Eggborough Power, a company that has been constructing power stations since 1962 and supplying electricity to the National Grid in the United Kingdom since 1967, faced a challenge in monitoring the plant’s performance and identifying potential improvements. The company had to make decisions based on reports, which involved scanning through the database daily and looking for anomalies hidden amongst rows and rows of data. This process was both time-consuming and ineffective in figuring out where potential improvements could be made. Read More
About Customer	Eggborough Power is a company that has been constructing power stations since 1962 and supplying electricity to the National Grid in the United Kingdom since 1967. The company uses a variety of methods to generate electricity including turbines, boilers, biomass, and pulverized fuel ash. Through these methods, Eggborough is able to generate enough energy to power 2 million homes. The company is committed to running efficiently, ensuring that the energy they provide is being used with little to no waste at all times. Read More
Solution	To address the challenge, Eggborough Power started using Dundas Dashboards to monitor the plant performance. The dashboards allowed the company to look at the cost of losses to figure out the performance of each unit and also to understand how much it costs and where they were spending the work. By implementing these dashboards, the company no longer had to rely on their old reporting services. The implementation of Dundas Dashboards was easy and rapid, making it a suitable solution for the company. Read More Log in to view content
