Fostering Innovation
The Company promotes and establishes guidelines to foster internal innovation. We empower employees to contribute to the continuous improvement and advancement of ideas, products, services, and workflows, ultimately translating them into tangible business and social innovations.
Furthermore, The Company also promotes and prioritizes building collaborations with external organizations. including academic institutions, research centers, and business partners, to exchange knowledge and technology. We also maintain clear processes and roadmaps to incubate innovative ideas, as well as to capture and disseminate knowledge throughKnowledge Management to enable further development and scalability across other business units within the group.
Examples of Innovation: The AI TRANSFORMER Project
One of the standout innovations reflecting the organization's commitment is the AI TRANSFORMER Energy Saving Project, which utilizes voltage regulation control methods. with a capacity of 2,000 kVA implemented at the Lamphun branch. The Company integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the Internet of Things (IoT) and Real-time Monitoring to optimize voltage levels based on actual usage through automatic transformer tap adjustment.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): This project stems from a collaboration between the Company, the Nakornping Energy Research and Development Institute of Chiang Mai University, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, and specialized transformer manufacturing partners, reflecting a systematic process and roadmap for innovation development.
The results achieved from this innovation can be tangibly measured, as shown in the data comparison table:
| Details | Before Innovation Implementation | After Innovation Implementation | Tangible Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity Consumption | 9,719,040 kWh/year | 8,713,920 kWh/year | Reduced by 1,005,120 kWh/year |
| Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions | 4,858 Ton.CO₂/year | 4,356 Ton.CO₂/year | Reduced by 502 tCO₂e/year |
| Electricity Costs | 38,876,160 baht/year | 34,855,680 baht/year | Reduced by 4,020,480 Baht/year |
The success of this project not only generates business value through energy cost reduction but also creates social and environmental value, actively supporting the goals ofCarbon Neutrality the nation, while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, the Company plans to scale up and replicate this technology for energy management in other areas during future capacity expansions.
