SIMATIC powerrate – プロアクティブなエネルギー管理

The Hartmann Gruppe, a leading provider of medical and hygiene products, uses SIMATIC powerrate to identify savings potential in their production.

They succeeded in reducing the peak load at their forklift charging stations and in their recycling operations by 10%.

“Since we now have a very clear picture of the development of our consumption over time, we have a significantly better basis for future negotiations with our suppliers,” notes Christian Koch, Technical Director at Hartmann AG in Herbrechtingen, Germany.

This leading LED manufacturer uses the energy management system SIMATIC powerrate as part of a holistic, end-to-end energy concept.

The software program helps the company to reduce their relatively high energy consumption for LED fabrication and power peaks.

Osram Opto Semiconductors has succeeded in lowering its peak power by up to 800 kW and, by integrating other electrical loads, achieved further optimizations.

Since the automotive industry is required to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions across the entire manufacturing chain, it often favors suppliers who can demonstrate that they also are saving energy.

This market leader in motor vehicle window frames therefore visualizes the energy data of all 100 machinery units at its plant using SIMATIC powerrate in WinCC.

In addition to displaying measured values, documenting data histories and identifying trends, the software is used at the plant in particular to prevent peak consumption.
