Startup Inside, a specialist in open innovation,artificial intelligence and intrapreneurship, the 13 project teams conductedtheir reflection around five themes:
- Reducing the energy consumption ofthe group's industrial facilities.
- Improving the thermal performance ofbuildings.
- Increasing the production oflow-carbon heat.
- Accelerating the digital transformationto increase energy performance.
- Set-up breakthrough models oftransition to a greener factory.
Hosted in the group's IndustryInnovation Centre in Flins, which brings together prototyping, 3D printing andproduction facilities maintenance activities, the teams presented theirsolutions at the end of the exercise, before answering questions from the jurymade up of group executives and representatives of Google Cloud.
JoséVicente de los Mozos, EVP Renault Group Industry,declared: “By 2030, on the group's industrial perimeter, we are aiming for carbonneutrality of our factories in Europe and the reduction by half of CO2emissions from our sites worldwide. In the spirit of the Renaulution, which leadsus to a profound transformation of our business model, we wanted to innovate inour working methods. The organisation of an in-plant hackathon to address thechallenges of industrial decarbonisation is a premiere for the sector.

Presentation of the projects deployedfrom 2022:
·Development of a digital platform tooptimize the start-up cycles and shutdown periods of the paint baking oven. Thissolution would generate an estimated electricity saving of 230 K€ per year forthe Douai plant. This project could be extended to other facilities.
·Creation of a tool to a real-timemeasurement of the CO2 emissions of production activities. The application wouldallow operators to have visibility on the consumption of their workshops.
·3rd prize ex aequo:
Team n° 4 - "Adjust'Air"project: Developmentof a digital solution to optimize ventilation and air filtration systems onproduction sites. The tool would allow the division by three the energyconsumption dedicated to the air extraction.
Team n° 6 - "Sieren"project:Implementation of a power consumption modeling and monitoring dashboard forconsumption for factories, with the integration of weather parameters andenergy consumption in the programming of factories.
