Digitalized Intelligent Production Energy Optimization


UNIFIED PRODUCTION ENERGY INTELLIGENCE

Become Energy-Aware Anywhere, Anytime and at Any Level of Granularity.

eC4 is a digitalized intelligent Production Energy Optimization platform that connects non-intrusively to plant equipment and proactively uncovers inefficiencies to ensure optimal energy intensity.

eC4 enables "intelligent control of energy use" to optimize 2 key relationships: energy vs. production, energy vs. equipment performance.

COMMON INDUSTRY USE CASES

  1. DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF DAILY PRODUCTION DEMAND
    Opportunistic and Dynamic Reduction of Demand by Shedding Non-Critical Loads.
    In a Press Shop, eC4 Achieved Demand Savings of 10% via Applying "eC4 Demand Shaving" Strategies by Recommending Cycling/Shedding of the Different Non-Critical Loads Opportunistically.
    Monitoring/Correlating Trends of Process Variables in Critical Equipment (such as Boilers, Chillers, Industrial Fryers, Furnaces, etc.) to Identify Anomalies in Real-Time.

  2. OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THE MAINTENANCE OF IDEAL AMBIENT CONDITIONS IN LABORATORIES AND ELECTRONICS PRODUCTION
    Tracking of Ambient Conditions (Temperature, Humidity, etc.) and Energy Optimized Setpoint Adjustment of Fans, Air Handlers, Pumps, Compressors, etc. for Electronics Production. eC4 has Saved Several Million Dollars in a Telecom Major over the Last 5 Years by Preventing Production Stoppages due to Undesired Ambient Conditions, and by Achieving this via Optimized Energy Consumption.

  3. IDENTIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL FAULTS VIA ENERGY DATA
    PQ8-2 - Current Trend
    eC4 Identified Unbalanced Loading in the Panel of the Lighting System of a Large Industrial Building that Led to an Early Resolution of the Problem and Prevention of a Loss of £250k!
    Using Energy Usage Patterns to Uncover Potential Hidden Faults in the Electrical Systems Connected to Equipment.
