Simply monitoring energy production at a macro level does not necessarily give you the correct information to allow you to drive its control or reduction. Plantnode can show you at a machine state and product level what energy has been consumed.
This means that you can see where energy is wasted when, for instance, a machine is idle or running slow. It will also give you an insight as to the energy cost per part produced – meaning that you can focus on activities to manage or reduce the energy cost element of your products –satisfying both your Continuous Improvement and Green initiatives.
