Acquisition and pre-processing of energy and operating data from WinCC
- In addition to an interface to WinCC, WinCC/B.Data also offers the latest interface standards, such as OPC, ODBC, ASCII and XML
- Preprocessing of energy data in a real-time calculation core that can be freely modeled including a formula editor for defining and configuring new calculation functions (heat calculations for boilers, quality for cogeneration plants, etc.)
- B.Data Mobile for mobile recording of energy data including route planning for meter reading operations. Management and analysis of energy data
- Automatic plausibility check and generation of simulated values
- Long-term archive with versioning, compression and consolidation functions
- Measured value editor for entering and processing energy and operating values
- Trender for presenting up-to-date (online) and historical load curves (trends), also for setpoint/actual value analyses.
Energy and material balance
Freely parameterizable balancing of the energy flows of various media such as electricity, heat, gas, steam, and emissions (CO2) in the B.Data Plant Explorer
- Calculation of characteristic values (KPIs, efficiency coefficients, etc.) with direct reference to production (batches, quantities, etc.).
Energy accounting (costs and revenue accounting)
Calculation and allocation/assignment of energy costs to plants and/or customers/cost units in accordance with the costs-by-cause principle. The bottom up (measurement) and top down (allocation) procedures are supported here
- Flexible modeling of the hierarchic accounting structures in the Plant Explorer
- Tariff allocation of quantities, flexible price assessment with tariff and price time series
- Transfer of costs/revenues to the ERP system (e.g. SAP R/3 CO)
Energy planning
- Generation of requirement forecasts based on production-dependent factors (production planning) and basic load profiles (typical days)
Energy reporting
- Generation of energy schedules for registering with the energy suppliers. Energy reporting
- Freely parameterizable report generator for creating balances, protocols, shift logs, bills
- Fully automated reporting with task management, e-mail dispatch and document management
- B.Data Intranet/Internet viewer (web client) for company-wide viewing of reports and results.
