Batch energy consumption
Batch configuration matters
To use the batch energy consumption feature, the customer site needs to meet the following conditions:
-
[The customer must provide the batch schedule according to the ECOWatch batch standard interface, i.e., provide the start and end times of batch production for each production line.]
-
[The customer requires the ECOWatch production standard interface to provide batch production reports, specifically: providing production information for each production line batch and affiliated energy department information.]
-
[The batch time periods and metering instruments at the customer's site can accurately calculate the batch energy consumption. Cross-production of products on the same production line is not supported; otherwise, the batch information measured in this way will be inaccurate.]
**When using the batch energy consumption function, implementers need to ensure:**The production line nodes corresponding to ECOWatch are configured with the 'DurationUsageAnalysis' component in InsightAPM.
The overall configuration and operation process is as follows. See Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 for details.

View Batch Energy Consumption Information
After the above implementation and configuration are completed, batch information can be queried on the batch energy consumption page.
Click EnPIs Mgmt.>>Batch Usage,Go to the batch energy consumption page, as shown in the figure below:

-
Based on query conditions, query batch information for all production lines. The system filters batches for the same product according to the plan.
-
Provide fuzzy search for batch number, product name, or specification name;
-
Click the "Download" button to export the current query data to Excel.
When an anomaly is found in certain batch information, you can in the "Check the batch information, then click "Upon clicking the button, the corresponding product device parameter comparison page will display real-time parameter information for these batches of related devices.
When abnormal batch information is detected, you can check "
" to select the batch information and then click the "
" button. The comparison page for device parameters of the same product will then display real-time parameter information of the devices associated with these batches.
Similar Product Equipment Parameter Comparison
On the initial page, this area will remain empty if no batch comparison is selected. Once a selection is made, the system will display content based on the chosen criteria, as shown in the figure below.

Each graph displays one piece of device parameter information. If you need to view different parameter information for the same device, or different parameter information for different devices, you can click the "Add" button below to add another device panel, as shown in the figure below:

If a certain panel does not need to be displayed, click the top-right corner's""button, can delete this panel.
Shift EnPIs
Shift-based unit consumption is one of the key indicators for evaluating production efficiency. By monitoring and analyzing the shift-based energy consumption and shift-based unit consumption information of each production line, potential energy efficiency improvement opportunities can be identified, such as optimizing production processes and operating methods, improving equipment energy utilization efficiency, and strengthening personnel work efficiency, etc.
Shift Configuration Requirements
For the Shift-Based Unit Consumption Analysis page to display properly, the following conditions must be met:
-
The selected area must have shift period information configured in the TimeSchedule module.
-
The selected area must have corresponding output value and production data available in the interface, as detailed in Section 4.1.
Schedule Query
Click EnPIs Mgmt.>>Shift EnPIs,Enter the regional shift unit consumption analysis page, which defaults to the shift tab page, as shown in the figure below:

Function Description:
-
Based on the filtering conditions, summarize and display the usage information and unit consumption information for each shift;
-
Based on the regional shift usage and regional output value/production information, calculate and display the unit consumption information for each shift.
Click "
"button, which allows you to export the displayed information to Excel.

-
Detailed display of data for each shift, including usage, output, unit consumption, sub-item consumption, and other information.
-
Click "
"button, which can export the displayed information to Excel;
-
Click the drop-down box to switch between various shifts and view the details of each shift separately.

Team Query
Click EnPIs Mgmt.>>Shift Unit Consumption Analysis,Go to the Regional Shift Unit Consumption Analysis page, click the Team tab, as shown below:

Feature Description:
-
Based on the filtering criteria, calculate and display the usage information and unit consumption information for each team;

-
Utilizing the area's shift utilization, regional output value/production volume information, and shift information associated with work teams, calculate and display the unit consumption information for each work team.
Click "
" button, can export the displayed information to Excel.

-
Detailed display of data information for each team, including consumption, output, unit consumption, and sub-item consumption.
-
Click "
" button, which can export the displayed information to Excel;
-
Click the dropdown box to switch between different teams and view the detailed data for each team separately.

Improved Measures
Click EnPIs Mgmt. > Improved Measures to go to its recording module.
The module maintains detailed records of annual energy-saving retrofit projects implemented enterprise-wide and at departmental (plant) levels.

The interface provides diverse filtering criteria, enabling users to query retrofit projects by type. By default, all retrofit projects for the current calendar year are displayed.
-
Provide fuzzy search for retrofit projects and retrofit objects.
-
Click "+ New item" to go to the Retrofit Project Recording interface.
-
Click "
" in the retrofit project list to edit project details.
-
Click "
" in the retrofit project list to delete relevant information of retrofit projects;
-
In the Energy Saving Improvement Measures list:
(1) Click the "" button to customize column display;

(2) Sorting is supported by start time, end time, target energy savings, actual energy savings, actual energy saving rate, investment cost, etc.;
(3) Click the "Retrofit Name" in the project list to view detailed project information and energy saving improvement benefits.
Add Retrofit project
Fill in all the required information on the New Retrofit Project page and save it.

In addition to filling in basic information, the system provides project notification settings, as shown in the figure below.

Click the "Add" button to enter the project notification time setting page, as shown in the figure below.

Follow the steps below to configure the settings, then click "OK" to save. Once the overall configuration is saved, the system will trigger the message notification mechanism at the scheduled time based on the project settings, and push the configured information to platforms such as Email, Enterprise WeChat, DingTalk, and Lark.
Review Retrofit Benefits
Click the retrofit name in the list to view retrofit projects.
Click "Project Information" to view all details of retrofit projects:

Clicking on "Energy-saving Improvement Analysis" allows users to view usage benchmarking and improvement benefits between pre- and post- retrofit project periods:
