Process-oriented energy control and optimization

Energy efficiency is a key driver for increasing manufacturer’s competitiveness. Optimizing energy consumption depends on detailed data such as the consumption of individual machines in each manufacturing process step. Fraunhofer FIT developed such a system based on a service-oriented architecture based middleware. The middleware allows easy and rapid integration of heterogeneous sensors and legacy systems in existing production facilities. The system will be demonstrated using an example production line in the automotive industry. Here it captures the consumption for individual process steps and car models. A mobile device (iPad) can be used to analyze the data in depth and to identify areas for improvement.
