Understand and Better Manage your

Energy Consumption with Energy Intelligence

FactoryTalk VantagePoint

Energy can help you:

Monitor energy usage based on

demand/availability for increased

eciency and reduced costs

Identify energy consumption by asset

and correlate energy information

with production information for more

informed decision making

Relate kWh to product unit produced

to help reduce costs

Enable comparison of lines, shifts,

machines, and plant energy usage

in order to improve overall energy

consumption

Utilize pre-congured content and

reports to save time and money

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.

Energy Awareness and Visibility

Critical to Operations

Improved awareness and visibility to energy resource data is the foundation

for any strategic energy management program it helps an organization

understand where, when and how it utilizes energy in order to then establis

the necessary scope of its energy savings eorts, dene key metrics, and

put the appropriate measures in place. The depth and granularity by which

organizations visualize energy consumption varies greatly from facilitylevel or site level awareness to production and product level awareness.

By integrating energy information with production information you not

only gain better insight to how energy inuences the bottom line, but also

how energy improvements can ultimately improve production.

VantagePoint Energy

With VantagePoint Energy we have

a more granular level of energy

information allowing us to make much

more detailed adjustments to our

process and production.

What is Energy Intelligence?Energy Intelligence is an extension of a manufacturing

intelligence approach applied to energy use within a

companys manufacturing facilities. An energy intelligence

system can integrate data from islands of energy usage

information (building management systems, building

sensors, utilities, etc.) and combine it with other operational

data from your enterprise applications (supply chain,

manufacturing, asset management, etc.) to provide visibilityinto usage trends, costs and eciencies. By bringing this

information together in one place, an Energy Intelligence

system can help company leaders understand their current

energy usage and provide them with information to make

informed decisions about what actions will provide

the most return.

Something DifferentTraditional Energy Management solutions are based on

metering energy across the organization and using this

information to look at behaviors and areas for optimizing

energy use. Energy Usage is measured by overall facilityconsumption and the focus is on using less energy

without a real understanding of where the specic

energy hogs are. Improvement initiatives are often

seen as an expense instead of an investment. To have

an eective Energy Management program, you need to

establish a baseline by measuring your energy usage over

time to understand why you are using it and to determine

how your energy consumption is contributing to your

overall cost (e.g. Peak Demand).

To take Energy Management to the next level, you

would want to correlate energy usage with production

information for true insights into how your productiondecisions inuence your energy usage.

With FactoryTalk VantagePoint Energy the focus is on

driving the measured energy usage at the main and

sub-station level and distributing it as energy

consumption across the enterprise.

FactoryTalk VantagePoint Energy is a model extension

for Energy for FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI. The Energy

component includes an ISA-95 organizational model

extension for energy, as well as energy metering and

energy consumption. The Energy model components

include predened content, such as energy reporting

and dashboards, as well as production energy reportingand dashboards. With this capability, users can aggregate

metered energy/consumption data with production

assets throughout the organization to start monitoring

energy utilization.

The Power of an Integrated Energy ModelBy fully integrating energy information in the Unied

Production Model (UPM), it is now possible to fully correlate

energy data with other manufacturing data available at

various levels in the model. Customers can now use the data

to make smart decisions based on the energy data, and also

use the production data to make smart production decisions

that ultimately will improve their energy consumption.

Powerful Energy Dashboards and ReportsUtilizing energy metered data from sources such as

Allen-Bradley Power Monitors, Intelligent Drive Control

products, IntelliCENTER Motor Control Centers, reporting

content and dashboards are provided out of the box

to provide visibility into energy consumption. This also

provides a framework for building an Enterprise Energy

Management solution based on the Unied Production

Model provided in FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI.

Daily View

Energy at the Asset LevelHaving energy information available at the asset

level is critical to being able to use energy as

a controlling input to production. Correlating

energy with production information allows you

to make more informed decisions regarding your

equipment and production ultimately resulting

in lowering energy costs and improving

production results.

Standardized Framework toBuild Powerful Solutions

FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI includes some of the most

powerful reporting components in the industry. You may

begin by creating an ad hoc report, then when you have it

set up the way you want, you can publish it with a simple

click of the mouse. The objects are immediately a part of

the model and are accessible from the reports list by

anyone with a web browser and user permission. You

may view the reports directly or via the FactoryTalk

VantagePoint EMI Portal.

Trending and Plotting

FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI incorporates two of the

most versatile and powerful trending and plotting

applications in the world. With drag-and-drop simplicity,

you can drop simple tags or complete objects onto the

plot. Change time periods, stack traces, switch between

historian and real-time data.

Microsoft ExcelAdd-In

You can leverage all the capabilities in Excel and have the

means to pull information from the Unied Production

Model in FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI to build highly

eective reports. Touch it up, format cells and regions to

your liking, even create some graphs and charts from the

data. Once you have published the report, you no longer

need the spreadsheet. It is perfectly preserved for you in

the model. And it is not necessary to have Excel installed

on any client to be able to view the report.

See how energy information from your operation becomes part of a smart energy and sustainable solution

with informative dashboards and reports.

Energy data resides all over

your plant. With FactoryTalk

VantagePoint Energy, you

can access that energy data

from its source in relation

to your production

information in a single,

logical model to createuseful reports and KPIs for

more informed decisions
