Understand and Better Manage your Energy Consumption with Energy Intelligence

FactoryTalk VantagePoint Energy can help you:• Monitorenergyusagebasedondemand/availabilityforincreasedefficiencyandreducedcosts

• Identifyenergyconsumptionbyassetandcorrelateenergyinformationwithproductioninformationformoreinformeddecisionmaking

• RelatekWhtoproductunitproducedtohelpreducecosts

• Enablecomparisonoflines,shifts,machines,andplantenergyusageinordertoimproveoverallenergyconsumption

• Utilizepre-configuredcontentandreportstosavetimeandmoney

Energy Consumption is no longer a cost of doing business. It is a major driver in determining how best in class manufacturers are creating a competitive advantage.
