Delta Industrial Energy Management System Optimizes Energy Usage and Consumption Analysis for Smart Factories

With increasing concerns over global energy shortages and the challenges of saving energy, many factory automation and manufacturing facilities are requiring more efficient energy management. Delta, with years of expertise and experience in industrial automation and energy saving, has successfully assisted a world renowned semiconductor company install Delta's Industrial Energy Management System (IEMS) DIAEnergie. By implementing functions such as energy planning, consumption analysis and facility management, this energy management platform saved up to 30% on energy consumption for production lines and effectively reduced the overall energy usage in the company's factories.

Since precision machinery is widely used in the semiconductor company, they decided to adopt Delta's DIAEnergie and other industrial automation products for electricity consumption monitoring and analysis to lower their electricity use and ensure facility performance with better maintainability. Delta's DIAEnergie IEMS platform improved many energy-saving aspects of the company, such as real-time monitoring of electricity usage for equipment and facilities across all production sites, and energy consumption data analysis of different regions, production, and time periods.

The use of DIAEnergie's energy performance index also helped the company in monitoring manufacturing facilities and finding operation issues to improve energy efficiency. With Delta's DIAEnergie IEMS, facility management staffs are better informed at all times with updated information on factory conditions or abnormal machine operation. The system reduces human error in recording meter readings and finds energy saving opportunities for major power consuming equipment through effective energy planning and improved energy efficiency.

Delta's energy saving solution for the company applied Delta's Power Meter DPM Series to collect electrical energy values and power parameters of equipment at production sites. The data was then transmitted via Industrial Network Converters IFD 9506 and Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch DVS Series to the Delta IEMS DIAEnergie platform for visualizing data analysis and remote monitoring to improve energy saving and management.
Delta's DIAEnergie instant data for power measurement analysis across productions sites for long periods of time has provided the company with the following benefits:

• Real-time/ Remote Monitoring of Energy Consumption: Delta's DIAEnergie can monitor and manage operational status or energy usage on web browsers via internet connections. The system also provides alarms for abnormal machine operation.

• Visualization of Energy Use: The user-defined dashboard allows users to easily monitor real-time energy performance through data displayed on the energy dashboard. Or receive up-to-the-minute information on current electricity consumption via internet connections at all times.

• Establish Energy Performance Index: The energy performance index uses monitoring and analysis to understand energy consumption of various devices and achieve energy saving goals.

• Controls Electricity Cost and Improves Energy Efficiency: A rich variety of charts visualizes power consumption from various perspectives for better data analysis. Historical reports and analysis are also in the system. DIAEnergie offers many data visualization tools to monitor power demand and forecasts, as well as to avoid over-limit demand penalties.

Delta's DIAEnergie IEMS allowed the semiconductor company to achieve 30% in energy savings on its production lines within 6 months. By implementing the IEMS, the company identified significant amounts of energy wasted through machines that were idle. The client was delighted with their improved overall energy usage performance using Delta's instant visualized energy management system.
