Streamlining energy management with Siemens software solutions
Most energy management insights to improve operations aren’t proactive enough because comprehending the relationship between energy consumption and operations isn’t that easy.
An Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution integrated with design, simulation, and production operation applications can be successful.
It accounts for all the data from inception to operation and everything in between.
Insights gained from energy consumption patterns can help improve operational efficiency, meet energy standards, and lower the carbon footprint.
Creating a data-driven solution for energy management
For better energy management and improved operational efficiency, companies need to know their starting point, and that begins with good data.
Companies can use IoT to connect machines, energy meters, products, plants, and systems to collect energy usage data in near real-time, making energy flows more transparent.
From there, analytics tools help users identify areas for improvement and uncover ways to reduce energy usage.
Throughout the process, energy consumption can be optimized across production lines, individual assets, and even multiple sites around the world.
Global energy consumption: Understanding the trends and their impact
Four major trends in global energy consumption are driving how manufacturing companies choose to move forward.
- Rising energy costs
- Compliance with laws and regulations
- Renewable energy sources
- Demand for responsibility
These trends create certain challenges, but forward-thinking companies are able to recognize new opportunities for change and growth.
Challenges in energy management: What you need to know
Successfully implementing an energy management system is a complex process with a list of challenges to overcome.
