Ecosystem oriented energy management: An implementation

Although traditionally seen as separate entities, factory and building automation systems are interdependent. Approaching the management of energy consumption in such settings in a holistic manner would lead to significant benefits in terms of performance. This paper presents an implementation of an ecosystem oriented energy management solution that considers both machines directly implicated in the production process, and the built environment the equipment resides in. The solution proposed is an embedded service oriented monitoring application applied to a real multirobot production testbed residing in a built environment similar to the situation in a real factory.
