Smart Energy Reduction

Calculate energy costs per order in advance and produce at a lower cost

Calculating the energy consumption of a planned production order in advance and optimizing the machine before the start of production �C this is made possible by Baum��ller��s new ��Energy Monitoring�� software function.

The new ��Energy Monitoring�� function can be used to determine the energy consumption of the individual axes per cycle. The energy measurement is carried out autonomously and in real time in the individual servo converters. In the higher-level PLC, a software module analyzes the measured values. Among other things, this software calculates the actual energy consumption across all axes and shows it as a value in the machine visualization or displays it using a dashboard via open IoT interfaces, such as OPC-UA. Standalone operation in the converter is also possible. Other energy consumers (e.g. heating modules, fans, etc.) can generally also be logged within the machine for the determination of a total consumption of the machine per cycle. This creates transparency about the individual machine modules.

For the machine manufacturer or the producer, this function offers the following possibilities:

Optimization of the machine cycle to reduce the energy consumption of the machine or individual energy consumers within the machine ? Lower production costs during operation

Optimization of the machine cycle regarding the use of energy in the DC link ? Lower energy costs during operation

Representation of energy consumption per part produced ? Potential support in the calculation of manufacturing costs

Recording of the carbon footprint of a machine or system ? Support in the reduction of carbon emissions

Interfaces to comprehensive energy measurement systems are possible ? Transparency of the machine��s energy consumption

Machine-specific KPIs can be provided ? Can be used for process optimization and monitoring
