Energy monitoring cuts consumption and emissions

Endress+Hauser is keenly aware of the need to manage its energy consumption, for financial and environmental reasons, and of the need for accurate data to support that aim. Pascal Meury is the energy manager at Endress+Hauser Flow: “With all the regulations we have from government and surrounding our ISO 50001 accreditation as well as our own goals, it’s essential for us to not only collect the data but to work with it. We see data as a resource for knowledge and improvement. "

In Reinach, eSight software collects data from more than 630 instruments including flowmeters, liquid analysis transmitters, heat meters, pressure and level devices, and electricity meters. Dashboard displays of the site’s utility data make it easy to understand how much energy is being used and set targets to save energy. All of the data and associated dashboards and charts can be accessed remotely and presented in cost terms rather than kWh by linking to the site’s energy contract.

Uniquely, the UK team behind the project had also developed a solution to integrate the energy monitoring system with Netilion, Endress+Hauser’s cloud-based ecosystem for IIoT. Netilion encompasses various modules to improve access to valuable information from the field. The Health analysis module, for example, highlights and logs issues as they occur, helping to drive a proactive maintenance strategy across the site.
