Thanks to a selection of the best available technologies, energy monitoring functions can be implemented either autonomously or integrated into the production control system. Area Professional offers a tool for analysing energy consumption which is both powerful and very easy to use and configure. Its modules and integrated reporting functions supply information about all electrical consumption and quality data. It can acquire data from all sources (electrical, natural gas, air, water, etc.) and automatically provide a complete report on energy consumption.
Measuring and reporting consumption/cost data facilitates the implementation of ISO 50001 compliant energy management systems. The historical data enable detailed analysis of energy consumption, and thus simplify the identification of causes and their effects. Accurate energy monitoring makes it possible to reduce wastage and thus save on consumption.
Machine condition monitoring functions can be implemented either autonomously or integrated into the existing production control system.
Using the I/O modules integrated into the machinery control equipment, the system continuously monitors their vibrations, which enables it to identify the mechanical condition of the machines themselves and quickly identify any reduction in performance and thus prevent serious damage. Preventive maintenance based on condition monitoring reduces unforeseen downtime, and thus reduces the cost of stoppages and repairs.
