Connect eC4 individually to every energy guzzler in the plant
Using non-intrusive current sensors, eC4 connects directly to machines thus converting every critical asset in the plant into a live energy sensor.
Baseline energy performance of the connected machines for various operational conditions
Using advanced statistical techniques, eC4 automatically learns what is the normal usage of energy for varying operating conditions and machining cycles across all connected energy guzzlers. As a by-product of such learning, eC4 identifies "Energy Over-Consumption Events" or anomalies via self-diagnosis.
Optimize energy performance of the connected machines to various production levels
Puts the learning from step 2 to positive effect by continuously identifying opportunities to remove energy waste in each energy guzzler that is working on a given production schedule. Substantiate the savings that can be achieved in each opportunity quantitatively.
