Optimization Begins and Ends with Measurement
Every optimization effort begins and ends with monitoring and measurement. First, you must assess the state of your operations and pinpoint your opportunities for improvement. Then, after improvements are made, you must monitor and measure your results to know how far you’ve progressed toward your optimization goals.
That’s the beauty of Armstrong’s Web-based Energy Optimization System (EOS). It provides the most advanced process operation, monitoring and reporting capabilities available. It is a state-of-the-art utility and process optimization system that provides access to information from virtually anywhere.
How EOS collects data
Instruments, meters and controllers are installed in critical locations within a plant site. An industrial field-mounted controller collects, stores, processes, archives and trends the collected data. The data are then displayed on a graphical user interface using a standard Web browser, accessible from anywhere via the Internet.
From data to optimization
EOS can:
- Monitor equipment and process operations
- Automatically adjust operating parameters
- Optimize preventive maintenance by using equipment runtime, operational cycles and equipment load information
- Improve reliability and safety with improved process data, visual and audible alarms, and e-mail notification of abnormal events
- Generate custom reports for process information, environmental compliance, fuel cost and maintenance routines
- Create invoices based on department or tenant sub-metering
- Enable activity-based costing
- Provide access from anywhere, via the Internet, through a standard Web browser
- Provide compatibility with building automation systems through built-in Modbus, BACnet and LonWorks communication protocols
When you combine the capabilities of EOS with the benefits of Armstrong’s SteamStar™, you have the best of both optimization worlds. SteamStar is the first and only Web-based platform for recording, monitoring and managing steam system information. It provides true best practice steam system management.
