Energy monitoring offers industrial companies the opportunity to make their production processes more efficient and sustainable. By gaining accurate insight into energy consumption, you can reduce costs in your company, prevent waste and reduce your ecological footprint.
The MyPlantFloor EMS - Energy Monitoring offers a detailed and real-time insight into the energy consumption per machine or product. With energy monitoring, current production data can be compared with energy data, allowing the Energy Monitoring System to detect waste such as standby consumption, hidden consumption or abnormal machine behavior. The ability to compare different production runs and energy consumption allows companies to make informed decisions and realize more targeted energy savings.
By carefully monitoring energy consumption in production and reducing waste, companies can make significant savings on energy costs. This is especially valuable in energy-intensive industries where small optimizations yield large financial benefits.
Smart energy monitoring ensures that machines and installations function optimally without unnecessary energy consumption. This not only increases productivity, but also prevents unwanted downtime and extra maintenance costs.
By better managing their energy consumption, companies can reduce their CO₂ emissions and contribute to environmental goals. In addition, energy monitoring helps companies comply with strict regulations and avoid fines or damage to their reputation.
Companies that invest in advanced energy monitoring strengthen their competitive position. By working more efficiently and projecting a green image, they become more attractive to customers, investors and partners in the industry.
MyPlantFloor uses wireless power sensors that you simply click around a cable.
You can easily install the power sensors yourself, because you don't have to change anything in the existing electrical installation.
The small current sensor is completely maintenance-free. They are self-powered via the sensors, so there is no hassle with an external power supply or batteries. An energy monitoring system can be so simple. It leads to a more proactive attitude, production improvement and significant energy savings.
The integrated data historian within MyPlantFloor automatically collects the data and intelligently processes it into reports and trends that are available via a web interface. By combining the Energy Monitoring software with production data, it can detect waste, even at the product level. Examples of measuring energy consumption in production are: standby consumption/leakage consumption, deviating behavior compared to a similar machine or a previous production order of the same product, etc.
In addition to the standard available analysis tools, you can also export the energy data to Excel or make it accessible to a Business Intelligent system. With these insights from the Energy monitoring system, you can work yourself (or together with an energy consultant) to eliminate waste even further.
You can find more about energy monitoring in the international standard NEN EN ISO 50001.
The unique feature of Energy Monitoring for production is the integration of energy data with production information. By combining this with OEE data, the software provides valuable insights that help to eliminate waste step by step. This is how it works in practice:
The Energy Monitoring software uses wireless sensors that are simply placed around machines or cables. These small, maintenance-free sensors require no changes to the existing installation in the production environment.
The software collects data on gas, oil and electricity consumption via sensors installed on machines and other equipment in the factory. The software also collects detailed production and OEE data for a complete overview.
The Energy Monitoring software analyzes and combines the collected data to identify patterns and deviations. It then displays these patterns, making it clear at a glance where the most improvements can be made in the production processes.
By comparing current production runs with previous data, the system can detect waste, such as standby consumption, hidden consumption or abnormal machine behavior. This ensures that inefficiencies are quickly detected and even provides insight at the product level.
The Energy Monitoring software offers real-time insight into energy consumption via user-friendly dashboards and reports. This makes it easy to intervene quickly and effectively in the event of unnecessary energy waste in production.
Based on the collected data and the analyses performed, the software can provide clear recommendations for improvements. The system displays deviations in detail and visually, so that you can take immediate action to minimize waste and increase efficiency in the industry.
