Energy management for manufacturing plant
The need for effective energy management in manufacturing plants
Over the past years, environmental awareness and regulations have increased significantly. The cost of energy continues to rise while aging electrical infrastructure increases the risks of electrical failures and adds unnecessary indirect costs to overall production. As a result, companies are becoming more focused on energy sustainability, equipment efficiency and reliability. Improving energy efficiency can lead to a significant boost in profitability as energy is one of the largest operational costs in a manufacturing plant.
Monitoring energy consumption and transforming energy data into relevant contexts are the foundation for effectively optimizing energy consumption. Manufacturers have often failed to deploy adequate energy metering devices at production lines, limiting the effectiveness of their existing energy management solutions. Besides, the different software systems that have been implemented to address various areas of production tend to create data silos in the plant. Combining these data silos with energy data to provide relevant contextual insights is a complex challenge. The availability of energy data and a solution’s ability to unify data from disparate sources are crucial to generating useful energy KPIs for energy management.
Introducing Energy Performance for Manufacturing
Based on Schneider Electric’s industry-leading power and energy management software platform, Energy Performance is a complete solution that converts data from disparate sources into actionable information, empowering manufacturers to reduce energy costs, monitor power quality and improve equipment performance. Its modular design allows companies to get started quickly to meet immediate needs, and the scalable solution can easily be expanded to meet evolving energy management needs.

Energy management for manufacturing plant
Energy Performance combines powerful data acquisition and analysis technology with easy-to-use software interfaces, simplifying energy cost management, maintaining production uptime and maximizing asset performance.
At the Connect and Collect layers, power and energy data is collected directly from hardware devices such as Schneider Electric’s intelligent power meters, PLCs, DCS, breakers, relays, active harmonic filters, power factor correction systems, and fault detectors. Additional process and production data can also be acquired from any data source including Historian and MES databases.
At the Analyze layer, the combined energy and production data is synchronized and processed through the Energy Performance platform, turning it into process energy intensity information that enables tracking of energy usage in the operations and production contexts. In addition, the platform provides easy access to information about electrical system, power quality and equipment performance.
At the Act layer, pre-defined parameterized reports and configurable dashboards provide the energy information visibility in context with plant operations, delivering actionable insights to all stakeholders. This visibility enables users to optimize energy usage and reduce unnecessary waste while ensuring high power availability, avoiding unplanned downtime and maintaining optimum equipment performance. This information can also be used to document and baseline projects for energy use reduction, operational efficiency improvements and asset health optimization, becoming an essential part of the enterprise’s continuous improvement programs.
