The water purification and mixing departments together form the actual production process for the soft drink. To assess the energy
efficiency of each department, the Energy Manager PRO automatically calculates the key energy efficiency performance indicators
and presents the results in the form of predefined and informative widget dashboards.

Clicking on this link in a browser opens the login screen for the web environment of the Energy Manager PRO. All standard
browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari, may be used. We recommend the use of Google Chrome.
Further details relating to the supported versions of the individual browsers can be read in the release notes of the Energy Manager
PRO.
A further option is the navigation to all available objects via the normal tree structure, similar to that of Windows Explorer. This
option is only to be used for viewing further special detailed reports (validation report, duration curve and administration building) of
the example factory for which no Quick Link has been created.
The overall dashboard of the lemonade producers offers the user a fast overview about all locations, because
each location is represented on the map inclusively its main KPI’s. Additionally, the home dashboard of a
location can be opened.
[1] The user looks on the map in the overall dashboard of the lemonade producer. There, the user a location in Berlin and
Munich.
[2] Following on that the user clicks on the location in Berlin and sees the overall costs as well as the costs per hectoliter for this
location.
[3] Then the user clicks on the home dashboard of Berlin by using the link.
[4] The user looks on the home dashboard of the example factory.
[5] When looking at the gauge element of the costs, the user sees that the costs during the past month were in the yellow
segment.
[6] The user immediately looks at the gauge widget for the costs per hectoliter in order to check whether the overall energy
efficiency of the factory has declined. The overall costs per hectoliter, however, are in the green segment.
The home dashboard provides an overview of the overall costs and CO2 emissions. In addition the overall
costs, broken down by medium, are displayed in a pie chart. In order to obtain the overall efficiency of the
example factory, the total costs per hectoliter are also shown in a gauge widget. The displayed calculation
period of the widget dashboard is the previous month.
[7] Additionally, the user checks the distribution of costs, broken by medium (Electricity, Gas, Water). Here, a significant change
of cost distribution can also not be recognized.
The costs per hl of the soft drink produced is the essential energy performance indicator (EnPI) for assessing
the efficiency of the factory. Increased energy consumption due to statistical outliers or a lower degree of
energy efficiency of the machines and auxiliary systems are automatically reflected in the costs and thus the
ENPI.
[1] The user looks again at the home dashboard and sees that the overall costs have increased again.
[2] The user immediately looks at the total costs per hectoliter. These tell the user that the overall costs per hectoliter are also in
the yellow segment.
[3] The user therefore switches to the dashboard for the production area.
Soft drinks essentially comprise water, carbon dioxide and additives such as sugar and flavorings. Before the
carbon dioxide and other ingredients can be added to the water, the process water must first be purified and
sterilized. For this purpose, the incoming water is irradiated and with UV light and heated. The fuel required for
this is natural gas and the process takes place in this department.
[7] Therefore the user looks at the second chart and again sees the increased values for electrical consumption per hectoliter
over the same period. The cause for the increased overall costs and higher total costs per hectoliter has thus been found.
[1] To present these reports during the meeting, the user opens the web environment and clicks first on the Quick Link for the
cost accounts report.
[2] This displays a short message asking the user to confirm by clicking on the "OK" button that this report is to be opened. The
report is then displayed in the browser as a download file which the user can then open.
[3] Once the contents of this report have been discussed, the user can then close the report.
[4] Using the next Quick Link, the user opens the report for the production area.
[5] The user then uses linear regression analysis to present the efficiency of the production.
The efficiency of the production is a result of the total energy consumption relative to the total production
(consumption per unit). In the case of the production, the total energy consumption is obtained by adding the
electricity and gas consumption figures, converted into kWh. For this reason, this report contains an X,Y graph
in which the X-axis represents the production quantity and the Y-axis represents the total energy consumption
of the production.
The result is a cluster of points through which a straight line (y = kx+d) is drawn by Excel (linear regression
analysis). This describes the relationship between the quantity produced and the energy consumption. In
addition, the report contains the equation relating to this straight line. The value for the variable d is the
standby consumption of the production, while the value for k represents the unit consumption per quantity
produced.
[7] The user then looks at the line chart for the unit consumption
and sees the outliers in the unit consumption figures.
[8] The next report that the user demonstrates is the report concerning the utilities or supply systems (boiler, chiller and
compressors). The user also opens this with the corresponding Quick Link.
This report presents the key performance indicators of the compressors, the chiller and the boiler in the form
of line graphs.
With the aid of the compressor diagram it can be seen that the operating points of the two compressors are
out of the good diagram area. That means that the operating points of the two compressors are located in an
insufficient working area.
[9] The last report that the user opens is the sustainability report, for which there is also a Quick Link.
In the example factory production of limonade is realised in batches. A batch is defined as a determined
amount of units (pieces, litres, tons), whereby for each produced unit the same production settings were
applied. The Energy Manager PRO is able to determine energy consumption as well as the produced amount for
each batch. Moreover, it is possible to compare certain batches together. If the amount of limonade in a batch
is produced by using more equipments, it will be possible to compare certain equipments together.
[1] The User opens the Batch report with the Quick Link.
[2] At first the user has a look on the overview table of the generated batches.
[4] Following on that, the user switches to the second EXCEL sheet.
[5] There the user has a look on the X,Y diagram. On the Y-axis energy
consumption of the medium can be seen and on the X-axis
produced amount of the filtered sort of lemonade is shown.
[6] The user looks on the equation formula for the straight line (y = k*x
+ d) and writes down the values for k and d.
[8] Finally, the user switches back to the X,Y diagram in order to look again on the values for k and d.

The management of the example factory is considering replacing the boiler. For this reason, the energy
manager has already set up an energy efficiency measure (EEM) in the Energy Manager PRO. For the final
decision, the energy manager presents the results of the EEM.
[1] The user opens the tabular overview of the energy efficiency measures using the Quick Link.
[2] The user then clicks the button to open the energy efficiency measure for the boiler.
[3] The detail window of the measure then opens and the energy manager switches to the "Common" tab
In this detail window you can first see the relevant region and business unit. In addition, the status of the
project is to be read out. The period from 2017 to 2022 is under consideration.
[7] The energy manager then continues with the required investments and switches to the "Cost Effectiveness" tab.
[8] The energy manager refers to the required capital and the annual maintenance costs.
[9] The three key performance indicators are the most important factor in deciding whether to replace the boiler. For this reason,
the energy manager draws the attention of the management to the three key performance indicators in the lower section of
the detail window.
This detail window shows the capital required for the exchange as well as the annual costs for maintenance
following replacement of the boiler. The investment required for the replacement is 140,000 euros. Following
the replacement of the boiler, annual costs of 1000 euros would be incurred. The payback period is 4.83 years
and the return on investment is 1.04. This means that the investment sum of 140,000 euros has been
compensated by the annual savings within 4.83 years. In the period of five years under investigation,
therefore, a total profit of 4% is achieved.
For each additional department (mixing, bottling and supply systems) there is a special department dashboard.
The department dashboards for mixing and bottling have the same widgets and thus the same function as the
department dashboard for the water purification.
After the service water has been purified and sterilized, the pure water has carbon dioxide added to it.
Following this, the carbonated water is mixed with the additives sugar and small quantities of flavorings and
colorings.
The dashboard of the mixing department also has two chart widgets. The first shows the progression of the
absolute consumption figures for electrical energy and additives, as well as the quantities produced. The
second chart widget provides the history for the consumption of electricity and additives relative to one
On the first worksheet of this report, the user sees the energy performance indicators (EnPIs) of the
department. In addition, the user sees the deviation of the performance indicators from the previous month, as
well as from the same month one year earlier. On the second worksheet the user sees the absolute
consumption values, again compared to the same previous periods.
In this way, the increased consumption of electrical energy is also documented in an Excel file.

In this way, the increased consumption of electrical energy is also documented in an Excel file.
For the compressors the key performance indicator is the current consumption per Nm³ of compressed
air (kWh/Nm³).
For the chiller, the key performance indicator is the dimensionless relationship between cooling energy
generated and the electrical energy required for this purpose.
For the boiler, in addition to the efficiency, the ratio of the required thermal energy that is created by
the burning of gas, to the produced quantity of steam (kWh/t_steam) is of interest.
The Heat Map shows the produced amount of steam with a colors. Green color areas indicate that a low
amount and red color areas indicate a high amount.
A good quality of data is the basis for a successful energy management. Gaps or outliers in the series of
measured values reduce this quality and corrupt or influence the results of the energy data analysis. The
validation report helps the user to discover missing or abnormal values in the series of measured values, as it
lists the names of the data points with abnormalities in the measured values..
