Would you like to see energy infrastructure from a manager’s perspective? This is how you might want it to be as a business manager or even as an overall responsible manager. In fact, this allows you to monitor specific individual performance indicators of a factory, a single plant, an entire complex, etc. Last but not least, to possible benchmark with other comparable companies or locations.

The Areal View: The interactive & areal view from the manager’s perspective

 

Interactive Areal View

The Areal View of the SmartCollect SC² offers you an interactive display from different perspectives. For this purpose, you can define photos, graphics, floor drawings, renderings, infographics, and much more as backgrounds. Depending on your needs and available budget, you can store the views both in a 2D format and in an interactive 3D model.

The advantage of interactivity

In the overall view of the Areal View, you keep the overview from the bird’s eye view. However, if you want to take a closer look at individual objects or even analyze them, click on the area and open the details. There, the complete measuring point is grouped in various panels, just as it was set up for you. You can view real-time data in a trend history. In addition, you will be able to define historical time periods and contextualize the measurement data to each other. This allows you to perform meaningful and beneficial comparisons and analyses. Synchronized zoom functions and various selection options of individual data support you. This makes it possible to keep the full overview in a simple way.

And if you are no longer satisfied with your individual display in the course of the application, then simply adapt it again to your new circumstances. Because flexibility in visualization is part of the SmartCollect SC² as an easy-to-use HMI. And if you want to align yourself according to ISO 50001, then the energy monitoring system of the SmartCollect SC² will help you advantageously.

For the visualisation of infrastructures, a so-called “interactive single line diagram” (SLD) is an excellent tool. Various options in the interactive single-line diagram of the SmartCollect SC² are recommended for this purpose:

  • Overview of the actual infrastructure

    “I want to create transparency of my plant. Today I am blind.” This is often the reason why companies are generally interested in visualisation. The first challenge is then usually to present the system in a fundamental way.

  • Designation of the individual system components

    Over the years, you will notice that the infrastructure has changed. You replace old equipment, new equipment is added, designations change, and so on. The overall documentation, however, has not adapted to the changes. In this way, you can pick up the dynamics of the system in the systemic single-line diagram of the SmartCollect SC² and display them always updated. Switching devices, relays, fuses, measuring objects, measuring points, consumers, feeders, etc. suddenly become visible. For group properties, we are also happy to go beyond regional borders.

  • Display of the relevant measured values

    Measurement data

    Here it is important to remember: “Less is more”. Show only the essential values relevant to this view (e.g. I, U, PF, P). Too many values impair the overview and cannot be resolved by the viewer. In addition, the performance of the software is impaired due to the large amount of data. And finally, much will be of little use to you.

  • Interactive call-up of a measuring point

    For a more in-depth view or even analysis of individual measuring points, you can click to look deeper into the measuring point. This either

    • on a pop-up window of the meter,

    • by calling up an individually defined dashboard with trend and analysis function

The SmartCollect SC² energy monitoring system, known as EMS for short, gives you full transparency of energy data in accordance with ISO50001. For analytical purposes (e.g. reduction of CO2 emissions, increase of energy efficiency and evaluation of savings potential as well as energy audits), the EMS supports you with relevant panel views within the EMS dashboard. Various manual or automatic reporting functions help you with your individual business analytics.

In the SmartCollect SC² dashboard, all the information you need is displayed reliably and in a structured way. In doing so, you keep an eye on all critical measured values. The data design is tailored to your individual application and user needs. In addition, the measured values are automatically synchronised with each other by the system and can be used by you for analysis by means of a sophisticated zoom.
