Applications

The MD 2000 solution can be implemented in a wide range of industries and applications, tracking energy consumption from any number of sources, such as electricity, gasoline and diesel, water, gas, etc. Large energy consumers such as production plants, hospitals, office buildings, airports and commercial centers can easily cut waste and reduce their energy expenses through the implementation of the MD 2000 system. Benchmarks can be established, best practices can be determined and goals for energy consumption can be set. Most importantly, all of these can be monitored to ensure compliance with company guidelines and evaluate their impact on energy expense reduction.

Manufacturing Plants and Factories
Industrial manufacturing is facing ever increasing financial burdens, and reduction of production costs is a major goal in today’s competitive environment. Energy is one of the main contributors to the total cost of manufacturing. Reducing energy costs, increasing efficiency and eliminating unnecessary waste can make a significant impact, but the complex configuration of multiple devices working together in coordination can make that a daunting task. The MD 2000 assists plant managers in four key areas:

• The cost of energy is not fixed throughout the day, and can fluctuate depending on season, hour of the day, day of the week, etc. Joining demand response programs and postponing energy hungry tasks to times when energy is cheaper can dramatically cut costs
• Much energy is wasted in the production process when feeder systems operate inefficiently, even when not needed. Effectively determining the inter-relationships between the units can result in a much more energy efficient production process
• Eliminating unnecessary energy consumption requires knowledge of where and when energy is being wasted, such as air conditioning when the offices are closed or unnecessary lighting during daylight hours. This can generate enormous savings and requires monitoring and alerts when they occur
• Comparison the performance of individual unit with industry benchmarks can help managers determine when individual units require repair or replacement

Hospitals
Hospitals use large amounts of energy for their daily activities: air conditioning, lighting, heating, laundry and disinfection procedures, operation of medical devices, etc. In such a large facility, serving so many people functions, energy waste is a constant threat. In times when healthcare budgets are under constant pressure, the MD 2000 can provide valuable insight into use of energy throughout the facility, alert the operations manager of potential energy waste, free funds for other activities and promote a friendlier and healthier environment.

Government and Office Buildings
Large office building, serving hundreds and thousands of people and incorporating the necessary supporting infrastructures, consume large amounts of energy daily. Implementing efficient and practical energy saving practices promises a positive impact on everyone, increasing profits for business owners, saving taxpayer funds and making a positive statement for a healthier, cleaner environment. MD 2000 boosts energy usage transparency, provides the tools to benchmark the energy footprint, improves operational efficiency and helps to plan future measures to further decrease energy costs.

Airports, Commercial Centers
Airports operate 24/7 and consume enormous amounts of energy to serve the people and the planes which go through it every day of the year. As in all large facilities, unnecessary use of energy resources is a constant threat and negatively impacts profits. Commercial and retail centers are also active many hours of the day and require numerous systems to keep the customers happy and coming back. With the Seener-G Energy Management system, managers can easily monitor energy consumption throughout the facility, map out usage patterns, identify trouble areas, detect deteriorating devices, and other sources of energy waste, thus reducing operating expenses and supporting effective purchasing and maintenance decisions.

P&L Analysis
In cases where accurate analysis of operational expenses is required, Seener-G can effectively calculate the energy consumption for any defined system and sub-system, providing managers the tools required to make educated decisions regarding purchasing, maintenance and manpower.
