A Continuous Improvement ( Kaizen ) Driven Approach for Realistic Digital Transformation
every hierarchy level of a factory comes the capability to report the energy efficiency in cost efficiency performance 10 .
Issue specified : High power consumption and manufacturing costs
• Difficult to grasp the power consumption of every production line and / or facility
• Difficult to identify the place that occurred waste
Implementation : In this use case , we introduce an EcoServer solution for visualizing and managing the use of energy on each production line and piece of equipment and visualize on a dashboard ( Figure 5-2 ). An energy calculation unit is installed at the equipment and facility side , and an EcoServer is installed at the management side to collect energy data and calculate the energy consumption . Any client computer can visualize the energy consumption graphically . When a specified task is required , such as peak shift , the EcoServer then analyze the related energy data to identify the energy consumption peak to help the manufacturer to understand not only when the peak comes , but also helps determine if your improvement measures were effective .
