Energy & Cost Saving Solutions

Hayley Group Plc are a key supplier to the Cemex Group , looking after their MRO , Inventory Management and energy cost saving solutions .

One of the biggest challenges facing businesses today is remaining competitive when energy and other costs are rising . Investment in Drivetrain related improvements offer one of the most effective solutions to this problem with fast returns . Hayley offer the complete Drivetrain with products being offered separately or as a complete integrated turnkey solution bespoke for its customer ’ s applications .

We also stock both IE2 and IE3 Electric Motors up to 315kw with off the shelf availability , as well as Geared Motors up to 37kw input power , again , available to be built to meet customer requirements on very short lead times .
Pumps & Dewatering One of the issues in all quarries is keeping them dry . Pumps are therefore a major part of this process . There are several methods being used , most of which are very expensive and inefficient to run . Hayley Group has brought new pump technology into the industry to drastically reduce cost and save energy .
This has also enabled Cemex to adopt a Best Practice for pump replacement through its RMC sites . The objective was to provide a standardisation , more efficient alternative to the pumps being used . Hayley also stock the pumps so they can offer either a same day or next day replacement service anywhere in the UK .
Smartvend ® Another concern that faces many customers is the amount of inventory carried in order to lessen downtime as well as 24 / 7 access to health and safety products for their workforce . Hayley Group Plc have identified a solution that can reduce the inventory , transaction costs , downtime costs and the supply of health and safety products .
This solution is the introduction of Smartvend ®, a simple , affordable , industrial vending machine programme that provides a lean , controlled flow of products to the point of use . This technology enables customers to monitor and track usage of product , allowing a reduction in inventory and the ability to manage assets and access health and safety products 24 / 7 .
The machines are Internet appliances and do not need expensive and complicated software installed , this means they are easy to install and maintain , both done by trained Hayley staff . Customers who have taken onboard the Smartvend ® solution have enjoyed benefits such as reduced consumption by 25 % or more , immediate product availability , asset control and automated ordering . This has added to the success of Hayley Group Plc in increasing its offer to Cemex and the marketplace through inventory management solutions .
