The Real Value of Energy Insights

Knowledge is power. And knowledge about your power usage is even more powerful. As we all know energy powers performance, but it is also a massive source of waste. Making blind adjustments to energy consumptions is dangerous. And yet, letting energy waste continue unchecked is dangerous as well.

And knowledge about your power usage is even more powerful.

As we all know energy powers performance, but it is also a massive source of waste. Making blind adjustments to energy consumptions is dangerous. And yet, letting energy waste continue unchecked is dangerous as well.

The old saying goes, “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Your facility likely has measuring equipment everywhere. Pressure gauges, power meters, timers and switches that all generate data or potential data. Some of that data is being collected and used. Some is being collected but not monitored. And some is simply not collected at all. Data is everywhere. But collecting data is just part of the challenge, and data collection alone is far from enough.

You need more than data. You need the right data, some still hidden from your view. And you need data converted into knowledge. You need actionable insights that let you know when, where and how much energy you currently use, and informed benchmarks around when, where and how much energy you should be using.

Without meaningful insights you are wasting time, energy, and effort- it’s as if you set out on a journey with no map. Yes, you may be able to make course correction based on what you see in front of you, but without insights on where you are going, you will never reach the destination you are seeking. Our insights chart a course that is fueled by energy conservation and leads directly to profitability. Sustainable processes, built on reliable, actionable energy insights is, in fact, the most reliable way to greater economic performance.

You and your facility deserve to know the truth.

The truth about vital energy use that drives performance, and unnecessary energy use that drives waste, inefficiency, equipment failure, and unnecessary environmental strain.

This is where SimplySnap comes in.

SimplySnap Energy Insights wirelessly measures energy consumption across part or all of your facility in both kWh and dollars. From individual pieces of equipment to production lines and departments, SimplySnap analyzes the flow and utilization of energy over time so you can track and report progress toward both ESG initiatives and financial targets.

SimplySnap uses standards-based software protocols and hardware interface devices to connect to existing equipment such as HVAC systems, air compressors, paint booths, welders, furnaces, CNC machines, motors, pumps and other process equipment. By taking a holistic approach to energy management, SimplySnap pinpoints and documents energy savings outcomes across facilities and the entire enterprise.

SimplySnap Energy Insights will help you.

1. Pinpoint energy waste – You can’t fix what you can’t measure. Identifying sources of energy waste is the first step towards remedying the problem. Customized reporting allows for analysis for any time span; analyze by the hour, by the week or across multiple months. You’ll be empowered with the knowledge to make the right decisions and the reports will prove your recommendations to your key stakeholders.

2. Drive corrective action – Receive real-time alerts when thresholds are crossed or when equipment is left running – enabling you to take action quickly and efficiently. Armed with information, you’ll be able to optimize your facility to run your way.

3. Lower operating expenses – With our insights, understand how energy usage translates directly to your bottom line. You can even utilize the actual rate structure charged by the utility to calculate true energy cost, making sure your dollar is working hard for you.

And it’s called SimplySnap for a reason. It is simple to use and a snap to deploy, even in older facilities that depend on legacy equipment.

SimplySnap’s Energy Insights enable multiple sites to analyze, report on, and monitor facilities of all types. Our intelligent analytics and user friendly interface removes complexity to enhance adoption, reduce training time and maximize financial, operational and environmental impac

Best of all, it just works.
