International. Emerson noted that Energy Manager simplifies electricity monitoring in industries such as HVAC by tracking in real time and identifying opportunities to reduce emissions by up to 30%.
Energy Manager monitors energy usage in real-time, allowing for deeper insight into consumption and costs. In addition, Emerson said the Energy Manager can be combined with its Compressed Air Manager to provide a simplified view of energy costs and compressed air usage from machines on production lines, factory and site.
The Energy Manager software dashboard provides asset-specific energy usage, associated costs, and CO2 emissions for up to 10 endpoints (expandable to 50 endpoints with one license). This level of visibility gives organizations greater control to identify idle equipment and optimize schedules during off-peak hours.
In this way, most facilities can reduce energy waste by up to 10-30% and carbon emissions by up to 15-30%. The software is available either pre-installed on edge hardware, such as PACTM RXi2-BP Industrial PC Systems, or as a standalone application that can be installed in a virtualized environment.
"Accurately monitoring energy costs and emissions is becoming vitally important for organizations," said Eugenio Silva, Intelligent Automation Product
Manager for Emerson's Automation business. "This can better position companies to track and achieve targets, comply with regulations and reliably reduce environmental impact."
