Customer Pain Points

- Difficulty in effectively monitoring and managing energy consumption across multiple production lines within the factory.
- Lack of detailed energy usage data, making it challenging to identify areas for energy savings and efficiency improvements.
- The need for a cost-effective and scalable energy management solution that can be easily integrated into existing factory infrastructure.
- Requirement for minimal disruption during installation and setup, as the factory operates continuously.

Acrel Solution

- IoT EMS Cloud System: Acrel provided an IoT-based energy management system that integrates hardware and software for comprehensive energy monitoring and management.
   

- ADL400 AC Three Phase Energy Meters: Installed across multiple production lines to accurately measure energy consumption. These meters are capable of providing detailed energy usage data.
- AKH-0.66/K Split Core Current Transformers: Used for easy installation and integration into existing electrical systems, particularly suitable for retrofit projects where non-intrusive installation is crucial.
- AWT100-CE Ethernet Smart Gateway: Enables efficient data collection and transmission from multiple ADL400 meters to the cloud server. One AWT100-CE gateway can connect to up to 20-25 ADL400 meters, significantly reducing costs and complexity.
- System Integration: The entire system is designed for centralized installation on each floor, allowing for the monitoring and management of multiple production lines from a single point. This approach enhances the overall efficiency of energy management and reduces the need for extensive wiring and infrastructure changes.

Project Outcomes & Benefits

- Enhanced Energy Visibility: Real-time monitoring of energy consumption across all production lines provides detailed insights into energy usage patterns.
- Cost Reduction: By identifying and addressing energy inefficiencies, the project has led to significant reductions in energy costs. The efficient design of the system, with one gateway serving multiple meters, further minimizes hardware and installation expenses.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: The energy management system helps optimize the operation of production equipment, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.
- Scalability and Flexibility: The system can easily be expanded to include additional production lines or upgraded as the factory's energy management needs evolve.
- Support for Sustainability Goals: Reduced energy consumption contributes to lower carbon emissions, supporting LEADENCE's sustainability objectives.
