Energy Advisor for Manufacturing - From Visibility to Energy Savings

Energy Advisor for Manufacturing is a cloud-native Industrial IoT solution that enables manufacturing companies to optimize energy consumption, reduce operational costs, and advance sustainability goals. Built on AWS infrastructure, this solution combines real-time monitoring, advanced analytics, and machine learning models trained on real manufacturing historical data to provide actionable insights into energy usage across production facilities.

Key Benefits

1. Reduce Energy Costs: Achieve up to EUR 5 million in annual savings per billion in turnover through intelligent energy management and optimization powered by manufacturing-specific ML models.
2. Real-Time Visibility: Gain instant awareness of energy consumption across all production assets with ISA-95 compliant hierarchy visualization.
3. Predictive Intelligence: Leverage ML models trained on real manufacturing data to forecast energy usage, predict anomalies, and recommend optimization actions before issues occur.
4. Data-Driven Decision Making: Correlate energy usage with production data to identify inefficiencies and optimization opportunities using patterns learned from thousands of manufacturing scenarios.
5. Sustainability Compliance: Meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations for environmental responsibility with comprehensive reporting.
6. Production Continuity: Ensure operational resilience during power shortages with intelligent load management and alerting.
