Take a look inside Excellerate's new 385,000-square-foot clean energy smart manufacturing facility in Little Chute. The facility focuses on industrialized construction, manufacturing energy products like electrical equipment.

The world is becoming increasingly concerned about its continued reliance on the traditional power grid, the use of fossil fuels, and their environmental impact. Companies are turning to renewable solutions that generate their own energy as a result, and distributed energy resources (DERs) are gaining momentum in this movement. Global brands such as IKEA, Google, and Apple, as well as smaller companies around the country, are using DERs to save money on energy usage, increase power reliability, and/or invest in sustainability.

An electrical manufacturer in Little Chute opened its new smart manufacturing facility, opening the door for additional employment opportunities in the area. Excellerate, a division of Faith Technologies Incorporated (FTI), gave a tour of its new 385,000-square-foot facility Thursday.

As the world faces pressing challenges in food security and environmental sustainability, the need for innovative solutions has never been greater. Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) offers a promising avenue for sustainable food production, allowing us to grow crops year-round in precisely managed conditions. However, the energy demands of indoor farming can be substantial, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and environmental strain.

Faith Technologies, a leading electrical planning, engineering, design and installation contractor, is proud to receive a 2023 BUILD Wisconsin Award from the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Wisconsin in the Specialty Contractor — Electrical category.

Ancient always-on lighting systems, problematic steam traps, leaky air lines, compressors running full tilt, empty conveyors moving at full speed, improperly controlled CIP systems, excess water waste, excessive utility demand/power factor surcharges, inefficient boilers, scaling in heat exchangers…and the list can go on and on when you start thinking about ways you might save energy in your facility.

All industrial facilities depend on electricity, but not all electricity is created equal. Poor power quality can cause a host of problems. We call it the “silent killer” of sensitive machinery and industrial efficiency. In our day-to-day interactions with clients at Faith Technologies we see poor power quality as a growing issue with many causes.

The global energy landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with increasing emphasis on sustainable and resilient energy solutions. Distributed energy resources (DERs) have emerged as a vital component in this transformation, offering businesses and individuals the opportunity to generate, store, and manage their own energy.

The construction and dairy industries have little in common, but what they do share is crucial: Both are committed to lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Construction industry leaders are urging net-zero building practices, just as the dairy sector’s National Farmers’ Union set an ambitious goal to achieve net-zero farming by 2040.
