OPTIMIZATION

Energy efficiency optimization

Energy-cost optimization realized through data-driven intelligent control

OVERVIEW

Not just measuring what energy is used —controlling it down to the least possible

Beyond watching consumption: the operating conditions of the equipment itself come into the AI’s control range.

Sample scenario

Daily power load (kW)

  • Current operation
  • AI-optimized(low → high)
  • Off-peak
  • Mid-peak
  • On-peak

KEY FEATURES

Four capabilities that optimize energy

From real-time monitoring through equipment efficiency and demand forecasting to carbon management.

Energy Capability

01 / 04

01

Real-time energy monitoring

It collects and visualizes the power consumption of key equipment and lines across the plant in real time. Energy consumption is grasped at a glance so waste is caught immediately, and peak-demand periods are managed to realize cost savings.

Management Scope

  • Per-equipment power collection
  • Real-time consumption board
  • Peak demand control
  • Abnormal consumption alerts
  • Energy data retention
  • Period-over-period analysis
Real-time energy usage dashboard — power, gas, steam and water consumption, peak demand, 24-hour power/gas usage trend, and energy usage share by process

Real-time energy monitoring

Tracks electricity, gas, steam and other energy use across the whole plant and its main equipment in real time

WORKFLOW

The workflow behind each capability

For each capability, the order it runs in and the check it passes before moving on.

EFFECT

Business impact

What it leaves behind — in energy intensity, demand peaks, energy cost and renewable share.

  • 01

    Lower energy intensity

    Energy per unit produced is broken down by process to find the waste, and optimal set-points per machine cut standby loss.

  • 02

    Lower demand peaks

    Overlapping loads are predicted and spread across the schedule, so the contracted demand limit is not crossed.

    Peak demandload spreadingcontract limit
  • 03

    Lower energy cost

    Peak charges and standby loss come down together, and tariff and run plan are matched so the same output costs less to power.

  • 04

    Higher renewable share

    Generation forecast and load plan are matched so self-generated power is used first, and the renewable share is tracked with the certificates that prove it.
