Corporate Energy Management from Wonderware

by Drew Siebert, PE

Wonderware recently released a new application for System Platform which helps sustainability professionals and plant managers better understand their energy usage and take steps to control it.  Not only will this product allow you to monitor and alert based on your instantaneous peak demand and monthly usage, you can also configure it to capture the energy usage per product manufactured.



Imagine the benefits to those setting prices for product of better understanding the per-piece expense of energy required to manufacture that widget.  Or, in today's more sustainability conscious environment, marketing can advertise to users how small the usage is.

Recently some retailers are even requiring partners to capture and report sustainability information.  In 2009, Walmart started polling suppliers for this information and providing it to conscious consumers to help them make better decisions.  Implementing Wonderware's CEM can be a valuable step toward offering valuable information back to Walmart and consumers.

The question often asked, is "How is Wonderware Corporate Energy Management different than what we can create on our own through custom code with Wonderware or another SCADA vendor?".  The short answer, is that Wonderware's CEM industry application contains significant quantities of pre-written scripts and reports with drill-down capabilities that would take enormous numbers of man hours to replicate to recreate all of the functionality available from the pre-designed Wonderware Corporate Energy Management Industry Application.
