Software Tool for Electroplaters Gives Cost-Benefit Analysis
01 Oct 2006
A new tool from Envirowise designed to help electroplaters improve their resource efficiency and save money is in the pilot phase of its development. The software, called Platewise, is currently being trialled by a number of companies prior to its launch later this year.
Platewise provides detailed costbenefit analyses for a range of surface treatment systems and therefore enables businesses to optimise productivity, materials efficiency and environmental performance.
An Envirowise workshop held in partnership with the Institute of Metal Finishing (IMF) and the Surface Engineering Association (SEA) in July offered companies trialling the product a first hand demonstration.
Companies are now test driving the new software back in their own work environment and will provide Envirowise with feedback on the tool.
David Elliott of the SEA said: “Resource efficiency and a move towards sustainable consumption and production are key priorities for businesses wishing to participate in the global economy. Platewise will help businesses address these priorities and we are pleased to be able to contribute to its final stages of development.
