The Electrex monitoring systems
The Electrex solutions are used in the Energy Efficiency and Energy Automation applications, for the industrial, tertiary, residential and renewable resources sectors allowing a rapid return on investment.
The growing price of energy added to an increasing use of automatic machines and electric devices makes the energy cost more and more relevant in comparison to the total cost of whichever activity. Often the energy costs are higher than the raw material or the manpower costs.
The approach to the energy management is gradually changing: it is maturing the awareness that a good energy management, beside providing important information to the management and all the company sectors in general, saves substantial amounts of money.
There are a lot of operations that you can do inside your company to optimize the energy consumption. Who is already working in this direction is getting a considerable money-saving that lead to further investment in services and technology for which it is already possible to quantify the amortization time. Electrex monitoring system users are already experiencing this.
With an Electrex monitoring system you can:
– Manage the company’s cost accounting with the cost center analysis. The energy must be economically quantifiable as the other raw materials.
– Make detailed analysis of load profiles.
– Evaluate the profitability of the products and of the machines. The cost of use and management of the machines have an impact often higher than their cost of purchase.
– Identify wastes and causes.
– Have all the information for the company and/or for the energy consultant to evaluate the proposals of the energy suppliers / utilities.
– Use a single system for the monitoring of all energy sources (gas, water, etc.) and environmental parameters strictly connected to the energy consumption (temperature, humidity, luminosity, etc.).
– Monitor the energy quality and identify the possible causes of malfunctioning (interruptions, harmonic distortion, etc.).
– Optimize the manutention management riducing the operation costs due to alarms and notification services since the starting of the anomalies. All the management and the evaluation of the events can be done remotely.
– Access to foundamental information on:
– Operational interventions. For example: working shifts coordination; machinery working period planning.
– Investments to be taken in order to reduce energy consumption. For example: high efficiency electrical motors; inverters; low consumption illumination system.
– Self energy production system installation. For example: PV plants; solar thermal energy plants.
and and subsequently evaluate the results over the functioning time.
