Energy per unit trends

Energy per Unit Trends is in beta, reach out to our support team to request access.

What is the Energy per Unit Trends feature?

Energy per unit is a key metric that shows how much energy is consumed for each unit of production output (e.g., kWh/unit, kWh/kg). This type of energy efficiency KPI is also known as an Energy Performance Indicator (EnPI) under the ISO 50.001 energy management standard.

The Energy per Unit Trends feature allows you to:

• Create energy efficiency KPIs that normalise energy consumption against production;
• Monitor energy intensity over time;
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

How to Create an Energy per Unit KPI

Note: this feature is only available in combination with our counting sensors to track production output.

You can create one KPI per for example production line, per product, or per asset type.

1. Navigate to the Energy Per Unit Trends menu.
2. Click “Create new energy efficiency KPI.” A setup dialog appears.
3. In the setup dialog:
   1. Select the electricity-consuming assets;
   2. (If applicable) Select the gas-consuming assets;
   3. Select the counting-assets that track your production output;
   4. Specify the output unit type (e.g., units, kg).
4. Give your new KPI a clear, descriptive name.

Viewing your energy efficiency KPI

Once created, your KPI will appear on the ‘Energy per Unit Trends’ graph.

• Use the time picker to define the time range of how you want to see your KPIs
• Select the configuration you’d like to visualise.
