SIMATIC Energy Management for the Glass Industry
Sustainability
The glass industry is traditionally an industry with a high energy demand. In addition to annually rising energy costs and the consideration of renewable energies, environmental and climate protection is another challenge. In the course of the UN Climate Conference 2015, a maximum limit of two degrees Celsius was set for global warming. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, the ISO 50001 standard was introduced. ISO 50001 defines an international standard for energy management systems. Implementation of this standard offers great potential for energy savings, especially in the glass industry, and consequently also reduces energy costs. Depending on regional support programs, companies certified according to ISO 50001 can also benefit. The new version of ISO 50001:2018 has further tightened the requirements for certification. A deadline of 2021 has been set for the conversion to the new standard, whereby auditing may only be carried out in accordance with the new standard from February 2020.
Using the SIMATIC Energy Management an extensive ISO 50001 certified, scalable product and solution portfolio - from energy data acquisition at field level to enterprise-wide energy analysis at management level. With SIMATIC Energy Management, the energy flows in your plants can be displayed in detail. The consumption data can be analyzed and energy saving potentials derived which sustainably increase efficiency and productivity. The result is an improved cost situation and greater competitiveness. With SIMATIC, you can implement an integrated, expandable and growing energy management system. And all this with fast, simple engineering and comprehensive analysis functions. Open interfaces give you every freedom for data input and transmission, and the SIMATIC Energy Meter energy measurement modules provide you with an ideal basis for recording measurement data.
