Jotun, the global paints and coatings producer with operations in over 100 countries, has selected Akila to implement an AI-powered energy platform throughout its worldwide manufacturing network.
PARIS, Nov. 26, 2025 — Akila is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Jotun Group for the deployment of a unified energy-intelligence system across Jotun’s global production sites. Headquartered in Norway, Jotun manages extensive industrial facilities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia & Pacific, Northeast Asia, Latin America, and the Americas.
This initiative represents one of Akila’s most significant global energy-intelligence projects to date, establishing asset-level monitoring and portfolio-wide optimization from the outset — positioning Jotun to achieve measurable savings across its international operations.
Streamlining Industrial Energy Oversight Across a Worldwide Network
Akila’s AI energy platform will integrate with Jotun’s existing metering and control infrastructure, while also collaborating with Jotun to add and integrate new sensors and gateways as required to strengthen and expand their data-capture capabilities. All data — whether from current or supplementary sources — will be unified within a single platform serving as the energy-intelligence core for the entire portfolio.
The platform will provide a single data model for all energy-related insights, enabling Jotun to:
- Track electricity, energy quality, HVAC efficiency, compressed air, natural gas, and other utility usage across essential production assets
- Identify major energy consumers and irregularities promptly and extensively
- Compare and enhance performance across different regions, sites, and operational processes
- Minimize energy wastage and boost operational efficiency for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
- Monitor carbon emissions and ensure decisions are consistent with sustainability objectives
- Utilize AI-powered analytics for identifying deviations, conducting automated baseline comparisons, and generating practical optimization suggestions
This integrated method guarantees that operational teams receive consistent, portfolio-level intelligence, leading to targeted improvements and quantifiable cost savings.
Boosting Impact Through Practical Insights
Swift implementation is a key aspect of this initiative. Jotun will obtain practical insights within the initial three months — allowing teams to rapidly pinpoint saving opportunities and implement corrective measures throughout their operations.
In the past, comparable implementations have yielded quantifiable savings of 3–5%, and this project intends to replicate and further enhance energy savings across Jotun’s international manufacturing footprint.
A Significant Step in Akila’s Portfolio-Wide Strategy
“Collaborating with Jotun on this magnitude marks a pivotal moment for Akila,” stated Philippe Obry, Akila’s Vice President. “The Akila platform was specifically designed for this purpose – to centralize industrial data across a global portfolio, enabling advanced analytics, benchmarking, and a direct route to AI-powered optimization and asset performance.”
Joint Dedication to Efficiency and Sustainability
“We chose Akila because their platform fulfilled our strict technical and safety criteria and exhibited the transparency and cooperative spirit we appreciate,” commented Trine Finnevolden, Group Technical Director HSEQ at Jotun. “This alliance will allow us to achieve unprecedented levels of energy performance, operational understanding, and sustainability throughout our worldwide manufacturing network.”
Akila is pleased to back Jotun’s leadership in energy efficiency, operational excellence, and sustainable industrial expansion, thereby establishing a new standard for AI-driven energy management across an international portfolio.
