Manufacturing Energy Management Solution
As energy prices continue to rise, manufacturers are coming under increasing pressure to proactively manage their energy consumption. With a detailed understanding of the energy consumption for specific production areas, equipment, and products, manufacturers can better manage production planning and execution as well as strategic contracting in an informed and
responsible manner.
The US Department of Energy's long-range projections forecast that prices for fuels and electricity will continue their upward ascent. Expected price increases predicted by 2030:
- 71% for oil
- 20% for natural gas
- 57% for electricity
To meet these challenges, EnteGreat has partnered with GE Fanuc to create a Manufacturing Energy Management Solution that rapidly delivers measurable and sustainable value to our customers. EnteGreat has combined the power of GE Fanuc's state-of-the-art Proficy technology with it's deep understanding of production efficiencies to deliver the Manufacturing Energy Management Solution which manufacturers are demanding.
EnteGreat's Manufacturing Energy Management Solution is a proven, pre-configured application of Proficy objects that can be rapidly deployed to provide comprehensive insights into the energy profile and consumption at each manufacturing site within an enterprise. The Manufacturing Energy Management Solution is targeted at purchased fuels, electricity, and water, as well as site generated energies like steam and compressed air.
The Energy Management Solution leverages the capabilities of GE Fanuc's Proficy Production Management Suite:
- Real-time Historian and Information Portal
- Plant Applications, such as Efficiency, Quality and Production Management
Energy/Utilities Covered
- Purchased fuels
- Electricity
- Site-generated energies such as steam and compressed air
- Water
Problem
Energy costs are rising and will continue to do so. Most companies have not factored energy consumption into their tactical production planning/execution decisions or strategic planning because they don't have the right data in the appropriate context. Timely visibility to energy consumption at a local level (manufacturing area, equipment, and product) does not exist, so companies are unable to optimize their production-related energy consumption.
EnteGreat's Manufacturing Energy Management Solution:
- Provides near real-time visualization of energy consumption vs. metrics which enables manufacturing personnel to optimize planning and execution decisions
- Organizes energy management data and actionable metrics across individual manufacturing facilities as well as enterprise-wide by applying:
- Industry Standards (ISA-88)
- Product/Batch/Lot/Equipment Context
- Normalization
- Integrates Manufacturing Energy Management into Operational Excellence programs
- Provides timely and accurate energy consumption data for performance management reporting and analysis
- Supports forecasting of energy consumption for strategic negotiations with energy suppliers
Key Benefits
- Energy consumption data collection at point of use (via automated data acquisition or manual data entry)
- Provide visualization of energy consumption during production
- Enables production planning with consideration for energy consumption (Managing energy as a product bill-ofmaterials resource)
- Supports coordination of production planning alternatives with energy contracting constraints (peak demand periods, etc.)
- Monitors and proactively manages energy consumption by area, equipment, and product
- Scaleable across an individual plant or an entire enterprise
- Enterprise-wide data standardization (based on ISA-88), context, and normalization to support comparative reporting and analysis
- Industry energy benchmarks and savings opportunities
- Standard energy performance metrics and site-specific targets
- Real-time energy trends and peak consumption alerts
- Proven energy management business processes and algorithms that drive performance improvements and savings
- Enterprise-wide energy consumption summarization and site-to-site comparative analysis
- Full suite of standard reports, displays, and analysis tools
