Controlling your operating costs
with optimum resource utilization
Almost all businesses have an enormous potential for a sustainable
reduction of power related costs. So that you may successfully uncov-
er these potentials for savings, we offer the modular SIMATIC power-
control power management software. This standard software is based
on tried-and-tested industrial technology. It provides transparency
of power related costs and energy flow within your facility, thanks
to automated recording of power data. With this knowledge, you can
optimize your energy consumption step by step, and thereby reduce
your power related costs.
Step-by-step towards optimized operation
The SIMATIC powercontrol power management software and its expansion
module SIMATIC powercost create the basis for a continuous improvement
process by providing you with comprehensive knowledge of your power
flows and costs. This transparency facilitates cost allocation based on
actual consumption analysis of your power costs and avoidance of demand
peaks through the management of loads. At the same time, you also
improve your power system s availability.
