Challenges in Enterprise Energy Management
Challenges in Enterprise Energy Management Enterprises face numerous challenges in energy management-fragmented energy data, complex management, inability to monitor in real time, a lack of effective carbon reduction strategies, the list goes on. With carbon audits becoming increasingly mandated across industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, and education, accurate and real-time tracking of every kilowatthour is becoming essential. Carbon inventory management has expanded to include industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, and education. In the near future, precise monitoring on a kilowatt-hour basis is set to become a requirement.
Solution Application
Energy Consumption Management
The energy consumption management platform supports various sensors including smart meters, smart plugs, flow meters, and thermometers, helping enterprises monitor energy consumption across diverse equipment types. It features data visualization dashboards that display realtime data and historical trends, as well as tools for electricity usage analysis and cost management. Built-in alert mechanisms notify users of abnormal power usage and support remote smart plug control to improve energy management and optimize energy efficiency.
Carbon Footprint Management
The carbon footprint management platform analyzes energy consumption data to calculate carbon emissions at the site, product, and even product serial number-level, supporting ESG initiatives. The platform can be integrated with the MES system to track energy consumption distribution during the production process and provide a carbon emission inventory, offering data support for enterprise decision-making.
Helping Enterprises Achieve ESG Certification
Chroma offers a visual dashboard for analysis of product carbon footprint. This includes analytical reports on individual product emissions, production emission lists, emission hotspots, and emission inventories. These tools help enterprises improve their carbon reporting, enhance environmental transparency, and increase green competitiveness within the supply chain-paving the way for ESG certification.
