Emerson Energy Manager solution

Emerson has launched its new Energy Manager solution, a pre-engineered hardware and software offering designed to simplify industrial electricity monitoring with quick setup and intuitive operation. Ready out of the box, the Energy Manager solution monitors asset energy use in real time, allowing manufacturers to gain deeper insight into energy consumption and operating costs, lowering carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and enhancing energy and operational efficiency.

The Energy Manager solution provides energy measurements in real time, allowing plant managers to quickly view detailed values and see savings opportunities, such as idle consumption and peak loads. The software’s easy-to-use dashboard provides asset-specific energy use, associated costs and CO₂ emissions for up to 10 end points (expandable to 50 endpoints with a licence).

This level of visibility gives organisations greater control to identify idle machines and enhance machine schedules during off-peak hours, reducing electricity use across the plant floor and lowering overall utility costs.

Highly scalable and easy to integrate with new or existing energy meters, the Energy Manager solution is also easy to commission. The software is available either pre-installed on edge hardware, such as the PACSystems RXi2-BP industrial PC, or as a standalone application that can be installed in a virtualised environment.

The Energy Manager solution gives operators, facility managers and corporate sustainability teams greater visibility and deeper understanding of energy consumption at all times. This can better position companies to track and reach targets, comply with regulations and reduce environmental impact.

For more extensive media and utilities monitoring, the Energy Manager can be paired with the Emerson Compressed Air Manager to provide a streamlined view of energy costs and compressed air usage of machines across a production line, factory and site.
