With new standards and aggressive initiatives for continuous energy management and sustainability reporting, industrial facilities are seeking ways to gain improved energy use . Isolating areas of energy waste and improving energy management capabilities enables facilities to achieve efficiency, cost savings, improved operations, and sustainability. However, with so many disconnected processes, equipment, and systems in an industrial facility, achieving a holistic and integrated energy management program is challenging.
This presentation will demonstrate an approach that integrates the machine assembly system closely with the facility energy and power management system (EPMS), leading to improved process energy efficiency. Selected project deployments and their associated returns on investment also will be discussed.
