Quickly generate your Shop Floor's Energy Profile.

Energy costs are rising. Manufacturers are realising that energy is not an overhead but a resource that needs careful management. Understanding where, when and how much energy is being used on the Shop Floor is key to optimising your energy consumption.

Ecopare’s Lean Energy Management solutions help you to quickly understand where energy is being used on the shop floor. With continuous measurement of energy right down to individual machines or motors we can indentify Areas of Opportunity to reduce energy waste.

  • Detailed Energy Profiles: We understand that half-hourly energy reports from your utility company do not provide the ability to identify where your energy is actually being consumed. With the Lean Energy Managment solutions we provide detail down to machine or even motor level on the shop floor.

  • Create Energy Personalities: CNC machines, air compressors, chillers, heaters, process lines or printers – they all have unique Energy Personalities. Our solutions identify what these are to allow you to see how much actual time is spent on value adding processes and how much energy is consumed during standby or waiting times.

  • Practical Advice: We understand manufacturing and we understand that energy is critical to all processes and therefore it cannot just be turned off. We also understand that like optimising production times, energy can also be optimised and we will transfer this knowledge to your company.

Our Solutions

Lean Energy Management

Lean Energy Management is our flagship solution that helps manufacturers generate energy profiles of their manufacturing facility. Developed in conjunction with manufacturers it uses cutting edge technology to acquire multiple energy consumption data, blend it with environmental data such as shift patterns and production output and present it in a format that is easy to understand.

Energy Personality Profiles

For critical machines within a production environment an Energy Personality can provide valuable knowledge on the health of the machine. An Energy Personality will indentify how much time is spent in various states of energy consumption for example: Off, standby, Waiting (set-up) working. By providing this information it is easy to see when the health of a machine changes (predicative maintenance) or throughput drops (inefficient production methods).
