Throughout the years, countries around the world have paid high attention to energy security, environmental protection, sustainable development, and energy prices. It is expected that global energy consumption will soar by 40% in the next 25 years! Unless we can discover a huge coal mine, we cannot meet the current demand!
Faced with the intensification of the globalization epidemic, various industrialized enterprises can only choose to quickly face it: while tightening their belts globally, energy scarcity is no longer just a red headed issue.
Energy consumption and management costs continue to rise, and enterprises can only accelerate the construction of energy management systems, reasonably layout energy facility configurations and control functions, effectively improve facility and energy utilization efficiency, and reduce costs, in order to achieve better healthy and stable growth.
Szfel has been actively exploring technologies that can help optimize processes and remotely manage assets, such as in automotive manufacturing companies. Even for companies with similar products, production volumes, manufacturing processes, and geographical locations, due to differences in planning, design, and operational management, the energy consumption per unit product can differ by more than 50%.
The ELECNOVA-EMS energy management system can help managers comprehensively grasp the energy consumption situation of enterprises, and decompose the energy consumption plan tasks of enterprises into various departments and workshops, tap into energy-saving potential, make energy-saving management more standardized and refined, and promote the healthy and stable development of enterprises.
Case analysis
A globally renowned automotive company has built a new production plant for key components of sedan engines and chassis. The products include camshafts, connecting rods, crankshafts, cylinder liners, front and rear steering knuckles, forks, and front and rear brake discs, mainly used for the production needs of domestic and overseas companies. The new plant covers an area of 134280 square meters.
At present, in the various production processes of automotive components in the factory area, energy mainly comes from electricity, water, gas, and compressed air. If manual meter reading is used to calculate the proportion and total amount of energy consumption, it will consume a lot of time and labor costs.
