AI-powered Solutions to Help Reduce Energy
Consumption, Utility Costs and Carbon Emissions
C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the leading enterprise AI software provider,
today announced that Ball Corporation has selected C3 AI Energy
Management and C3 AI Ex Machina to help achieve the company’s
ambitious sustainability goals, and to identify new opportunities
to operate with greater energy efficiency.
Ball Corporation’s aluminum beverage packaging manufacturing
plants required an industrial-strength, tried, tested and proven
enterprise AI software platform to serve a variety of needs and
audiences. Ball was seeking a key partner and solution that could
integrate IoT data from 60 global facilities and to use that data
with AI to uncover valuable information to help them make
predictive, accurate, and actionable decisions to optimize the
roadmap to reduce absolute carbon emissions within the company’s
own operations by 55 percent by 2030 against a 2017 baseline.
C3 AI Energy Management provides real-time visibility across the
entire enterprise and uses AI insights that enable companies to
minimize energy consumption, utility costs, and carbon emissions.
C3 AI Ex Machina allows business analysts, not just data
scientists, to develop, scale, and apply AI insights without
writing code. C3 AI Ex Machina is integrated with the underlying
energy management data model provided by C3 AI Energy Management
and will enable Ball Corporation’s team to easily develop ad-hoc
analysis and build novel AI models that provide new and predictive
insights that support business requirements.
The C3 AI Energy Management and Ex Machina solutions will
address the following customer needs for Ball Corporation:
- Plant operators – Provide near-real time insights for
decisions intra-day to improve energy efficiency. This includes
integrating data from energy and equipment monitors at each plant
(IoT devices) and using AI to make actionable predictions.
- Regional operations – Allow regional leadership across
North America, South America and EMEA to benchmark plants within
their region and optimize investments aligned with regional
practices and governmental regulations, ultimately achieving
environmental and economic sustainability.
- Sustainability Performance – C3 AI Energy Management can
track, aggregate, manage and report on global energy use and
company progress against Ball’s goal to increase energy efficiency
by 30% by 2030.
“At C3 AI, we’ve seen a surge in large enterprises such as Ball
Corporation setting ambitious environmental sustainability
objectives,” said Ed Abbo, President and Chief Technology Officer,
C3 AI. “This partnership represents two leaders in their respective
segments – manufacturing and enterprise AI – coming together to

and industries, but to help safeguard the future of the
planet.”
“We believe sustainability is a collaborative effort between our

committed to providing low-carbon, infinitely recyclable aluminum
packaging to drive our vision for a more circular and sustainable
economy,” said Adam Shalapin, Global Sustainability Manager, Ball
