DAZOQ launches automatic calculation of key performance indicators (KPI) for production
In a world where sustainability and efficiency are increasingly important, energy-related key performance indicators (KPIs) play a crucial role in helping companies optimize their energy use. These key figures provide insight into how energy is used and identify areas for improvement, which leads to reduced costs and reduced environmental impact. Here we talk about the new function to automatically calculate energy use per production hour and what value it can bring to your business.
Production KPIs and machine availability
The key figure kWh/production hour measures energy consumption in relation to the number of hours a machine produces. For manufacturing industries and other production-oriented businesses, this KPI is crucial for understanding how efficiently energy is used within various production processes.
Machine availability is a measure of the time a machine is in operation and available for production compared to the total planned production time. This is a critical component of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) or TAK (Availability, Facility Utilization, Quality) which are standard measures to assess how well a production facility is utilized.
Using real-time measurement at the machine level, DAZOQ has developed an energy-based calculation of machine availability. By knowing what power a machine uses when it is producing, idling or in energy saving mode, we can calculate how efficiently the equipment is being used, without wasting valuable time manually entering reason codes and the like. This also makes it possible to know exactly how long each machine is in a production mode.
Automatic calculation of energy consumption/production hour
Traditionally, the calculation of energy-related KPIs has been a time-consuming process that requires careful collection and analysis of data. DAZOQ has already enabled real-time measurement of energy data at machine level, but now energy consumption/production hours can also be calculated completely automatically.
Advantages of automatic calculation
Time saving
Automatic calculation eliminates the need for manual collection/input and calculation, saving time and resources for companies.
Increased accuracy
By using real-time data and the automatic calculation can provide more accurate and reliable key figures, which reduces the risk of incorrect decisions based on incorrect data.
Improved decision making
With access to automatic key figures, the business can make better informed decisions about energy management, which leads to increased efficiency and cost savings.
Summary
Energy efficiency and sustainability are critical issues for both companies and society. By implementing and using KPIs for energy and production, companies can not only improve their financial performance but also contribute to a more sustainable future. The new automatic calculation function represents an important step forward in this area, making it easier and more efficient for companies to monitor and optimize their energy use.
