Case study
Power Monitoring at Noshing
Looking to reduce their energy consumption costs, Noshing deployed the Shoestring Power Monitoring Solution.
Noshing is an artisanal dairy-free cheese manufacturer based in Western Australia. They make a range of dairy-free cheeses from high quality plant-based ingredients to produce an authentic alternative to traditional cheeses.
Noshing were looking to address the increasing cost of operating and a sensible place to start was to identify which items were the biggest power consumers. Deploying the Shoestring power monitoring solution, which collects data on individual machines, helped them dig into the problem.

What are the next steps?
Noshing are looking to implement more starter solutions, including air quality monitoring for their production areas. The air quality solution will give them indicative data on the working environment over time, which will inform whether they need to make any changes, help them understand any product quality issues and inform some of their product development plans.
Impact of the Shoestring Power Monitoring Solution on this business:
Reduction in costs:
Noshing cut their power bill by 30%, from 11 megawatt hours to 8 megawatt hours per billing cycle.
Improved optimisation:
Understanding where their power was going allowed Noshing to optimise their systems, modifying their cooling cycles and prioritising repairs that will reduce energy consumption.
The Noshing deployment was made possible through the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) Food Industry Innovation Program
The Western Australian Government has signed a 4-year agreement to bring a world-first manufacturing initiative to Western Australia. DPIRD’s Food Industry Innovation program partnering with Shoestring to provide Western Australian SME’s with the opportunity to get on the digitalisation journey.
