Comparison of EMS solutions and EMS package LITE

Objective Function Overview Steel EMS solution EMS package LITE
Visualization of present conditions Planning management
  • Operators forecast future energy fluctuations.
  • Production plans and plant operation plans provide information for forecasting.
 ○
Top-level linkage		 −
Form management
  • Records operation performance of the plant.
 ○ −
Performance management
  • Operators monitor the current energy balance.
  • Monitoring is done using the plant monitoring screen and energy balance screen.
 ○ ○
Visualization of future conditions Supply and demand forecasting
  • Notifies operators of future energy fluctuations.
  • Enables a stable supply of energy.
  • Two methods are available for forecasting future energy fluctuations: using production plans and using plant operation plans.
 ○
Supply and demand forecasting
(Holders, steam, byproduct gas, power, oxygen)		 △
Monitoring
(Power demand, holders)
Energy-saving operations Optimization
  • Operate plans for cost-saving stable energy supply or minimizing CO₂.
