A successful pilot project bodes well for further similar projects in USA!!
" ("Kontrol" or "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its second major pilot with Toyota Tsusho Canada, Inc. ("TTCI"). The pilot customer (the "Customer") is an affiliated company to TTCI and operates heavy industrial steel and aluminum bailing machinery.

The Customer's mandate was to upgrade its heavy machinery operations to a real-time monitoring and analytics platform with the strategic goal of increasing operating efficiencies. Following a 90-day pilot, Kontrol and TTCI were able to deliver a customized digital solution using the Kontrol SmartSite® software platform that both met and exceeded the Customer's expectations. In addition to receiving a real-time dashboard, integrating energy, utilities and production data, the Customer was also able to automate various manual functions and can now make optimization decisions in real-time.

"This is another milestone success for Kontrol and TTCI as we continue to add facilities to our platform and we now are moving to evaluate USA facilities," says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol.

"Our Customer is very pleased with the results of our SmartFacotry solution. In addition to their facility in Canada, the Customer operates 12 much larger facilities in the USA. We have started discussions to expand our SmartFactory solution to each of those USA facilities," says Yuji Shibano, General Manager of TTCI's Energy Solutions Group.
