AFRY Smart Platform – Factory energy and utility data collection, management and visualizatio

Factories have several different equipment and systems that consume energy, water, pressurized air, and other utilities. Measurement, analysis, and optimization of utility consumption are critical for the overall efficiency of manufacturing operations. Usually this data is spread out to several independent systems and cannot be easily analyzed. Missing, delayed, or inaccurate utility consumption data and reporting can harm to efficiency of the production operations and increase costs.

We improve the monitoring of your utility consumption data from various systems with an automatic, online, and hardware-independent data collection platform – AFRY Smart Platform. Focus on making quality – we deliver the tools.

AFRY Smart Platform (ASP) provides centralized real-time collection, management, visualization, and reporting of alarm and failure signals to maintenance and production teams. Fast reactions to problems and issues at the right time and right place.

Real-time alarm and failure signal collection from all types of production and auxiliary systems to one centralized data collection platform. PLC or computer based systems can be connected through software interfaces to ASP. OT hardware supplier independent solution.

Automatic web-based visualization and email or sms alarms to factory teams. Data can be accessed through web portal by computers and mobile phones, or displayed on factory screens or info-TV systems automatically. Data available for all factory teams easily.

Additional data collection hardware or IO-cabinets can be provided with customer-specified data collection requirements. Easy integration and scalability of additional signal sources.

Field-proven data collection platform can be installed locally to factory IT infrastructure or a cloud environment. Flexibility in relation to IT policy of the factory.

AFRY Smart Platform integration is performed with the following process:

1. Identifying key energy and utility items to monitor
2. Identifying data sources, systems, and interfaces
3. Defining potential additional data collection devices
4. Developing ASP interfaces for data collection devices
5. Developing visualization panels and reporting tools, such as email or text messages
6. Testing (FAT)
7. Installing ASP software and devices at the factory
8. Commissioning (SAT)
9. Documentation

1. Cost-effective solution for all alarm and failure signal collection and visualization inside the factory
2. Flexible and real-time monitoring tools for reporting to maintenance and production teams
3. Fast and easy installation and commissioning
