Energy and Utility Management

IPMS is a data management tool used by many of our customers as a means of measuring, monitoring and optimising the consumption for energy and utilities on their key processes.

Key Energy Management Capabilities include:

  • Calculation of energy specific Key Performance Indicators and Benchmarks from any numeric data.
  • A fully automated Monitoring & Targeting system that monitors actual energy and utility use against a target (multiple targets can be set and the targets themselves can be calculations) and highlights differences by way of a set of traffic lights in the main Performance section of the site and within the Perfomance Dashboard. Exceptions can be sent by e-mail.
  • Presentation of energy and utility cost information on a Performance Dashboard that summarises large amounts of data onto 1 easy to read web page. To see an example of - click here
  • A broad range of detailed management reports summarising energy and utility use and cost against target and across previous date ranges.
  • Regression analysis facilities within the application to help identify potential relationships in data.
  • Suitiable for the monitoring of any utility - gas,water, energy, chemical, compressed air, trade effluent etc.
  • Comprehensive benchmarking facility to enable companies to compare energy related Key performance Indicators and Benchmarks across a number of sites - anywhere in the world.
  • Ability to set up calculations to derive 'virtual' energy meters from other numeric data. An example of this in the Water industry is the use of hours run data to derive a 'virtual' energy meter for specific processes around a site.

The powerful calculation engine in IPMS, allows users to create and calculate key performance indicators and benchmarks, either historically or in real time, and to identify and issue e-mail exceptions. The algorithms used within IPMS mean that users can use raw data from a variety of different databases and systems as inputs into these calculations. So, for example, a customer may wish to use half hour power data and 15 minute flow data to calculate the power used per m3 of flow (kWh/m3).
