UC Irvine’s SMART Industrial Assessment Center visited PARPRO Technologies, Inc.(PTI) to assess opportunities related to Energy Conservation, Waste Reduction, and Productivity Enhancements. A group of trained students from California State University Northridge and UC Irvine, led by Chelsea Choudhary, and experienced faculty, led by Dr. G.P. Li, Director UCI SMART IAC, toured PTI’s Santa Ana factory on February 8th. The Sustainable Manufacturing Alliance for Research and Training Industrial Assessment Center (SMART IAC) is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Assessment Program, which is designed to assist small and medium manufacturing enterprises in reducing their energy cost by providing free energy efficiency assessments. PARPRO embraces this opportunity to identify new ways to reduce our power consumption and reduce our waste. We thank Dr. Li, Patricia Lim, who is the Industrial Research Development Strategist, Chelsea Choudhary, and all of the students that attended to support this effort. #PARPRO #ucirvine #csun
