Optimizing Thermal Processes with Digital Intelligence
Aluminum melting furnaces consume up to 4× more energy than the theoretical minimum. Novamet uses digital twin technology and real-time data to close that gap — saving up to 0.5 M€ per furnace per year while cutting CO&sub2; emissions.

A cloud-based simulation platform for regenerative burners — evaluate retrofit potential, compare burner technologies, and simulate H₂ and oxy-fuel scenarios, all from your browser.
Learn moreSmartBurner
Intelligent monitoring and diagnostics for industrial burners — combining digital twin and deep learning to detect drift, reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 10%, and boost productivity by up to 10%.
Learn moreClosing the Gap Between Actual and Theoretical Efficiency
Aluminum melting typically consumes 700–1,400 kWh/t — up to 4× the 325 kWh/t theoretical minimum. That gap represents millions in wasted energy and avoidable CO&sub2; every year.
Born at EPFL 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
Aluminum melting consumes 700–1,400 kWh/t against a theoretical minimum of 325 kWh/t. Every day your furnaces run without real-time guidance, you burn excess energy and emit avoidable CO&sub2;. A 10% efficiency gain saves nearly 0.5 M€ per year for a single medium-size furnace.
