Intouch Monitoring launches new real-time energy waste software module

Intouch Monitoring, an expert in production monitoring software announces their new energy waste monitoring module.

Digital manufacturing is the new operating standard worldwide and with their new module, manufacturers can achieve energy-efficient production. At present, all manufacturers want to improve efficiencies and reduce their energy consumption, and Intouch’s new module will enable organisations to achieve this.

Up to 97% of a machines’ energy usage can be wasted while it's idle, which is a significant loss of money and resources. Energy monitoring is the process of tracking, recording and visualising energy consumption in real time across an entire facility, and getting a comprehensive overview of each line or asset for optimised performance. Energy monitoring alone does not reduce energy consumption, but having access to critical data, manufacturers can fully optimise consumption, address problem areas, change behaviour and drive down costs and emissions.

John Hardwick, managing director at Intouch Monitoring says “We are very excited about our new Energy Waste Alert module. We’ve been working together with our clients to refine the functionality and user experience. The goal is to ensure that the energy being used is put into making product and not just burning money!” Hardwick says “Our new module gives much needed immediate notification of energy waste situations, which will deliver instant savings. If a hydraulic injection moulding machine stops but the motor is left on, it could still use over 50% of what it uses when running. 

For over 25 years, Intouch has remained focused on delivering easy to operate, easy to learn, quick to install, flexible and affordable production monitoring software.

It enables manufacturers to maximise efficiency and increase profitability with real-time production monitoring and MES, giving full visibility, in real time.
