A smart way to keep factories humming sustainably
Energy efficiency in industry has increased in the EU over the past 20 years. While there have been improvements in all industrial branches, numerous in-factory changes can help further increase energy sustainability. The aim of the EU-funded EnerMan project is to reduce the energy consumption of the various components of manufacturing systems, such as machine tools. Specifically, it will create an energy sustainability management framework to collect data from the factory to predict energy trends using industrial processes, equipment and energy cost models. EnerMan will deliver an autonomous, intelligent decision-support engine that will evaluate the predicted trends and assess if they match predefined energy consumption sustainability objectives. |
