Produce more while using less

The problem that companies face is the requirement to produce more while using less. Specifically, companies must reduce the cost of producing their products. Cost reductions can come from multiple sources, such as:

• Gains in process/equipment effectiveness

• Reduce maintenance costs

• Reduce labor costs

• Reduce operating costs

Depending on the industry, energy can be a large percentage of operating costs (10% to 40%). Before companies can sustainably reduce energy consumption, a deeper understanding of how energy is used is required. This requires timely access to good accurate energy information and the process context of how that energy was used.

AVEVA™ Production Management provides this context and granularity, by providing the ability to:

• Measure and reduce energy consumption per unit of production.

• Measure and reduce energy waste.

• Identify energy targets and overconsumption events.
