Legacy EMS solutions focus mainly on tracking the consumption (effect) but ignore the underlying process dynamics (cause) that influence the energy efficiency of a production line. In addition, these solutions lack the analytics capabilities necessary for providing advanced energy insights to help drive higher efficiencies.
4PointX EMS is a process-aware energy analytics solution that leverages Machine Learning to benchmark the consumption for various production scenarios and uses this knowledge to alert when deviations occur. For e.g., the solution tracks wastage due to equipment idling, tells how consumption varies by product, and gives insights on what process parameters are impacting efficiency the most.
Monitor real-time energy consumption by overall Plant and drill down to function and meter level. View historical trends of energy, power, current and voltage.
Monitor consumption vis-a-vis production. The app auto computes specific energy (kWh/ton) for Plant and function by merging energy data with daily production output.
Quantify energy wastage due to idling of assets between production stops. Easily track cumulative idle hours and trends at various levels down to an individual asset.
Slice and dice specific energy for various product specs. Identify product-specific benchmarks based on past consumption patterns.
Configure alerts on various power parameters. Generate reports, export raw data, or use APIs to integrate energy data with other applications.
The app integrates with smart meters and SCADA for collecting Energy and Process data. The software can scale to multiple plants and sites for centralised deployment.
