How do I configure the KPI: Energy Efficiency?
Start in the Admin app, and select the machine you need. From the KPI panel on the machine page, click on the menu option ‘Configuration’ for Energy Efficiency. You will then be taken to the configuration page. Here you need to select an appropriate sensors to provide input data for the formula:
EE = Energy consumption / Actual machine rate
1. Actual machine rate: This sensor needs to provide the actual machine
rate, so for instance the number of products produced per second. The
value of this sensor should be expressed as 'per second'.
2. Energy consumption rate: This sensor needs to be supplying data on the energy consumption of your machine in 'kW per second'.
3. The thresholds panel allows you
to set up cautionary and emergency thresholds. You will then receive a
daily notification if the KPI value for the previous 24 hours falls
below a target. It works in a very similar way to the threshold function
in the sensor settings.
4. The target panel allows you to define the desired target value for the KPI.
Once this is done, you have enough to click save, upon which your KPI will become active.
