Schneider Electric Case Study

Square D companies such as Juno Lighting Group and TAC, LLC, initiate energy optimization for it’s own plants and facilities, with an ambitious goal of reducing energy consumption per employee by 10 percent from 2004 to 2008.

Schneider Electric and its Square D® engineering services customized power monitoring solution, including Square D® PowerLogic® System Manager™ software, which runs from an application server that provides the visualization of the electrical system. Connected to the PowerLogic® software are two Square D® PowerLogic® CM4000 and six CM4250 circuit monitors at eight different transformer and distribution centers on the property.

PowerLogic Helps Smith & Nephew Avert Costly Construction Project

Market growth and frequent product innovations were forcing the facility personnel at Smith and Nephew's Memphis plant to struggle to keep up with the demand for changes in the manufacturing processes. Without a good monitoring system to provide an accurate picture of loading, electricians struggled to determine if particular circuits could handle new loads. After installing a PowerLogic system, the staff soon had accurate peak demand data that allowed them to add new loads to existing circuits and avoid a $2 million expansion.

Pharmacia Gets Cost Effective Results

Like many plant engineers, Dave Tracy and Jim Vyuerberg of Pharmacia Corporation vividly remember the times when clipboards and shoe leather were the key components in monitoring energy consumption. They and their colleagues had to trek all over the plant to scribble down power meter data, then manually enter it into a spreadsheet program. At Pharmacia?s Kalamazoo, Mich. plant, however, all that trekking and scribbling has been replaced by a power management system that saves time, cuts costs and preserves uptime.
