How much does it really cost to make a product? When is the best
time of day to run equipment? How do you allocate energy costs to operational
events, departments and products? How do you report energy costs back to ERP as
part of the production record?
Whether your organization is looking to be green, reduce operating costs or
both, improved energy management is now critical in most corporate goals. To
reach these goals, organizations need to be able to record consumption and
demand at main and sub meters for a wide range of energy types (including power,
water, chilled water, gas, air, steam, etc.). This information then needs to be
associated to production output to provide the key performance indicators used
in many sustainability programs.
Systems available today grew up from software developed to interface to electric
meters. They really cannot easily account for other critical components such as
steam or air or water, etc. and they have little or no awareness of energy
consumption in the context of manufacturing output. Additionally, without
networked meters, these limited systems provide no value at all.
Wonderware's new Corporate Energy Management Solution (CEM) addresses all of
these issues. Built on our open System Platform Technology, CEM can connect to
any type of meter (electric, gas, steam, water, etc.) and collect energy
consumption/demand information in the context of your manufacturing operation
and operating environment. Users can allocate cost to operational events,
departments and products and begin to work to reduce energy consumption and
avoid peak energy demands. Additionally, if no networked meters are present,
users can leverage our mobile front-end to manually enter needed data right at
the source.
If you are interested in understanding how you can immediately gain visibility into your utility consumption and costs as they relate to your manufacturing processes, please join us for this webinar.
