Digital Twins for Smarter Furnaces

Aluminum melting furnaces consume up to 4× the theoretical energy minimum. Novamet’s real-time digital twins close that gap — saving up to 0.5 M€ per furnace per year while cutting CO₂.

Closing the Gap Between Actual and Theoretical Efficiency

Most aluminum furnaces use 2–4× more energy than physics requires. That gap represents millions in wasted fuel and avoidable CO₂ every year.

Born at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) in 2014, Novamet builds digital twins that track every variable in real time — from gas flow and melt rate to burner drift and door losses. Our systems are deployed across EU and US facilities, turning furnace data into concrete actions that cut energy, cost, and emissions.

Every Unoptimized Cycle Is Money Lost

Every day your furnaces run without real-time guidance, you burn excess energy and emit avoidable CO₂. A 10% efficiency gain saves up to 0.5 M€ per year for a single medium-size furnace.
