Insights Hub Energy Optimizer extends Insights Hub Energy Manager with data-driven insights that enhance the understanding of energy conservation across production processes. It calculates the optimal energy consumption, sends notifications if the actual energy consumption is higher and identifies where energy efficiency can be improved.

Insights Hub Energy Optimizer offers the following core capabilities:

  • Calculate the Energy Efficiency metric as a KPI for multiple energy resources.
  • Estimate the optimal energy consumption and compare to the actual for each energy resource consumed by each asset.
  • Attribute energy resource consumption to different phases and states of assets to estimate productive and unproductive energy consumption.
  • Estimate the energy consumed and the optimal energy per unit of production for every product.
  • Aggregate the energy resources to calculate KPIs at the line and plant level.
  • Identifiy a baseline energy standard for each product associated with each asset automatically.
  • Send email notifications when actual energy consumption deviates from this standard.
  • Ability to modify this standard to customize the frequency of email notifications.

Key concepts in Energy Optimizer include:

  • Energy Resource: This represents a quantity such as water, gas, electricity or chemical compound, consumed during production, that the user wishes to monitor, control and optimize.
  • Energy Consumer: This is an Insights Hub asset that has been configured with at least one Energy Resource variable. It would usually include other production context variables.
  • Energy Model: This is a mathematical model relating Energy Resource to production context data on a specific Energy Consumer.
