Another Manufacturing organisation selects Certero PowerStudio™

Fine Organics Limited were looking for a solution that could quickly save energy, reduce C02 and lower electricity bills

With 36% of the world’s C02 emissions attributable to the manufacturing industry, Fine Organics required a solution that enabled them to monitor power consumption and intelligently power down PCs when not in use, in order to contribute to bottom line savings.

Fine Organics Limited is a UK based manufacturer of high quality fine chemicals.

Over 25 years they have built up a distinctive and wide ranging technical capability for the contract manufacture of fine chemicals at their Seal Sands site in the North East. The dedicated skills of the organisation serve companies in pharmaceutical, crop-protection and speciality chemical markets are in demand worldwide. 

The specialist techniques and processes of the company’s 184 permanent employees provide the expertise to manage energetic reactions which often involve toxic, dermatitic, flammable and malodorous compounds.

The PowerStudio™ software works across PCs and thin clients to identify daily, monthly and annual trends of computer power usage. The advanced software helped Fine Organics set centralised power policies in accordance with user activity to prolong the life of computer equipment, reduce electricity consumption and meet environmental computing targets.

Each PC left on when not in use can produce over half a tonne of greenhouse gas annually. PowerStudio™ allows Fine Organics to set policies that automatically switches off monitors and places PCs into standby or hibernation when computers are idle, enabling energy savings of up to £48 per year.

Certero Managing Director John Lunt comments on the acquisition: "We are very excited to be working with Fine Organics to help improve its energy and financial resources. PowerStudio™ is specifically designed to efficiently manage all desktop elements and demonstrably contribute to green computing targets which will enable Fine Organics to quickly see a return on investment."
