Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in all sectors of the manufacturing industry. Companies are currently feeling the pressure of exorbitant energy prices very clearly, as well as the additional challenge of becoming CO2-neutral by 2045. With technologies from the field of machine learning (ML), innovative solutions can be developed that enable energy-efficient product manufacturing. In this way, ML-supported process control can make a decisive contribution to increasing the sustainability and competitiveness of a company. Decisive for ML-supported process control are the process- and raw material- dependent parameters, which are significantly responsible for the quality of the final product. The subject of this paper is a procedure for analyzing the complex relationships between the relevant influencing parameters for increasing energy efficiency in the manufacturing industry.
