PROFICY FOR SUSTAINABILITY INSIGHTS
Use resources more efficiently and effectively
By integrating operational and sustainability data, Proficy for Sustainability Insights can help you use resources more efficiently and effectively – whether you have one plant or hundreds – and manage the climate metrics needed for regulatory compliance.
Operationalizing Sustainability KPIs
Help improve resilience and savings by operationalizing KPIs across the plant and enterprise, with the visibility, benchmarks and actionable insights to improve sustainability and profitability at the same time.
Sustainability Goals
Reduce energy and other utility costs
Model and optimize usage in the context of daily operational events and priorities
Improving resource efficiency
Across the enterprise, enabling automatic adjustments and identifying best practices.
Identifying hidden waste
Identify previously unrecognized patterns, consumption variability, unnecessary use, and other sources of energy waste or utility consumption.
Accelerate the action
Drive the right response to issues with people-based dashboards and triggered alerts
Increase effectiveness
Improve problem solving and continuous improvement with visibility into the most effective and practical levers for influencing change.
Operationalization of objectives
Advance both industrial and operational sustainability goals by providing the right information to the right people to take action and move forward.
Monitor, analyze and act in context
- Monitor electricity, natural gas, water, steam and other utilities used across your facilities, helping teams spot problems and take action quickly.
- Combine consumption and operations data to gain context to optimize costs, usage, and sustainability metrics.
Optimize with analytics
- Use analytics to continuously detect overuse, underuse, variability, and other waste that might otherwise go unnoticed.
- Calculate benchmarks for each unique process configuration, product SKU, and plant to understand current performance versus expected consumption rates or demonstrated best performance.
Use Proficy to move from reporting and monitoring to the right actions for improvement, configuring and deploying simple control rules or advanced optimizers to maximize resource efficiency.
The software is also designed to help you reduce usage peaks and waste by automatically adjusting control setpoints, recommending changes, or refining the process startup sequence.
You can find hidden opportunities, such as shutting down unnecessary equipment and optimizing the balance of supporting equipment, including boilers, heat pumps, air compressors and more.
Sustainability and profitability
By aligning operations and sustainability teams to break down silos, Proficy can help you integrate and manage sustainability performance and manufacturing KPIs together, producing more holistic optimizations and creating visibility into trade-offs and co-benefits that can reduce environmental impacts and costs.
By translating the impact of daily operations into CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), water usage or energy efficiency, manufacturers can start managing them as KPIs, just like quality, productivity and production.
Define the operating context
Provide the operational context needed to optimize resource utilization
- Gain visibility into the most impactful levers
- Attribute resource usage to products, assets, and events.
- Evaluate current performance against demonstrated best performance, considering the specific circumstances of the process.
Connect operations and sustainability
Increase collaboration between operations and sustainability teams
- Connect regulatory-required sustainability metrics to operational performance management processes.
- Manage sustainability KPIs with the same rigor and routine as Quality and OEE
- Optimize plants holistically, considering operational and sustainability performance.
Show progress
Operationalizing industrial sustainability goals
- Unlocking the daily management of carbon neutrality pathways
- Provide the data quality and resolution needed to take action and demonstrate progress.
- Achieve plant-level traceability of metrics such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions, water usage, etc.
