Wonderware Corporate Energy Management Application

Invensys Operations Management has introduced the Wonderware Corporate Energy Management Application, designed to enable manufacturing and industrial automation customers to implement an energy management program and achieve sustainability goals.

Part of the company’s energy portfolio, the Wonderware Corporate Energy Management Application is intended to help users respond better to energy consumption challenges.

The application allows users to monitor energy and detect and notify personnel of energy inefficiencies. It connects directly to meters on a network, through industrial controllers, and accepts manual entry via the company’s Wonderware InTouch HMI and IntelaTrac mobile solutions. The application is layered on top of the Wonderware System Platform, enabling integration with a wide range of applications, networks and I/O data sources. Application functionality includes recording consumption and demand at main and sub-meters for a wide range of energy types, including power, water, chill, gas, air and steam. The application also associates production output to energy usage, providing the key performance indicators used in many sustainability programs. It can be quickly installed in a matter of days, and pre-built reports give managers, supervisors and workers new visibility and information on how energy is used within the operation.

With this Wonderware application, companies are able to create a variety of energy consumption web reports based on time period, department, cost centre and operational events. Real-time views of energy consumption are provided by Wonderware InTouch HMI, offering an overview of the real-time state of energy usage.
