Order FEMS Solution

Data Acquisition

With WISE-PaaS/EdgeLink edge data acquisition software, data collected from different machines and multiple facilities goes through FEMS edge into one single platform, either on-premises or in the cloud platform.

Data Computing & Visualization

With WebAccess/SCADA software, data can be aggregated in the FEMS server, or directly transmitted into the WISE-PaaS cloud platform. Data is analyzed and visualized as energy management assets with the iFactory/FEMS application.

Central Management

Using contextualized and visualized FEMS data, both real-time and historical, in the Industry 4.0 Situation Room, supports managers to have continuous energy saving activities by PDCA cycle and visualization management.

Factory Energy Management Solution

In today’s harsh economic climate, most manufacturers are seeking ways to save cost. Best-in-class manufacturers are already road mapping plant strategies to implement energy management in the factory for decreasing energy consumption per unit production. For this Factory Energy Management Solution (FEMS), Advantech’s iFactory Solution Ready Package (SRP) integrates hardware and software within industrial applications where typically a 7-10% energy saving can be achieved in facilities, compared to where FEMS SRP is not used. Based on real-time data obtained from smart meters, FEMS SRP allows users to monitor energy consumption information, accurately evaluate energy costs, and optimize energy efficiency, aiding business intelligence strategies for energy management.

OEE Dashboards

Energy Consumption Overview

Dashboards present energy consumption of the plant for users to monitor consumption as well as the cumulative value of usage for any month. It also compares energy consumption over the same period for the past three years to monitor short-term changes or identify long-term trends

Sectoral Energy Consumption Trends

Energy consumption types: water, gas, oil and electricity. Then select the energy consumption sub-items to be counted. The upper right corner can select a time interval to facilitate the comparison of energy consumption trends between departments.

Departmental Evaluation Analysis

This is a useful dashboard to review each department and unit for avoiding waste and improving energy efficiency for better energy management.

Feature Highlights

Real-time Data Management

Energy consumption and cost of utilities can be measured on the basis of hour, day, month, or year, by individual, aggregated departments, or corporate level. By setting benchmarks and comparing current performance with set targets, it is easy to analyze the use of energy and utilities to support energy efficiency improvements.

Dashboard Visualization

Performance calculation, data displays and reports can be easily visualized using dashboard tools. The navigation menu and dashboard displays can be customized from the user interface, including trends, graphs, diagrams and tables. It also provides KPI and alarm management functions.
