Remote energy monitoring unit design and implementation

This paper presents the design and implementation of a remote energy monitoring unit for production systems. The unit is capable of monitoring and visualizing total energy cost, the energy cost per production operation and the energy consumption associated to the processing of a specific product. Thus the next step for the energy consumption optimization can be performed by knowing consumption of specific operations. The unit is mobile and can be reallocated and integrated with different production systems providing web-service interfaces for remote monitoring. FESTO MPS production line is used in this paper for demonstration purposes. The paper shows how the user can obtain the information on energy consumption and describes a set of KPIs for energy monitoring.
