Energy Monitoring
Review consumption records alongside production and operating conditions.
Overview
The need it addresses
Energy Tracking is positioned to examine at which plant, department, line or piece of equipment consumption arises and how it varies with production. Beginning with electricity, the tracking of natural gas, water, compressed air and other sources can also be evaluated within the scope where suitable measurement exists. The measurement and reporting scope is determined separately for each source.
How does it work?
Existing meters, analyzers, invoices and periodic records are reviewed. According to the measurement structure, consumption is linked to time, a plant or equipment. If production data exists, consumption per suitable unit can be calculated. More meaningful results are obtained when total consumption, working hours and production quantity are evaluated together.
The target scope covers consumption trends, use outside working hours, exceeding of set thresholds, comparison between lines and distribution of energy cost. A monthly plant total taken from an invoice is not shown as an instantaneous measurement of a specific machine. Consumption measured directly and consumption allocated with a chosen method are stated separately.
Existing infrastructure and data
Work can begin with existing meters and energy reports. If there is no measurement at machine level, work can first be done at plant or department level. If more detailed measurement is considered necessary, additional hardware selection is scoped separately.
Example use
Although production has fallen, compressor consumption stays the same. The system makes this trend visible. Leaks, idle running, usage pattern or equipment condition are assessed by a field review. The software is not considered to have drawn a definite cause of failure from a consumption difference alone.
Suitable industries
Metal, plastics, automotive supply industry, textiles, food production, foundry, heat treatment, painting, packaging, cooling and plants where energy consumption is significant.
Frequently asked questions
Which of our business questions determines the starting scope?
In the first meeting we determine which question your business is looking to answer. We assess your process and existing infrastructure to define the starting scope.
Under what conditions can existing records and software be used?
Work can begin with existing meters and energy reports. If there is no measurement at machine level, work can first be done at plant or department level. If more detailed measurement is considered necessary, additional hardware selection is scoped separately.
How does it relate to other Divera applications?
With Production Tracking, consumption per unit produced; with Maintenance, abnormal consumption and equipment history; and with Kaizen, results before and after improvement can be related.
