IMPROVE MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH ENERGY USAGE PATTERN MONITORING AND ANALYSIS (48 HOURS)

Productivity is about having access to critical information anywhere, anytime, for effective decision making. With IT connectivity and advanced statistical techniques on energy usage patterns, operations data of factories, facilities, or equipment can now be used to uncover many productivity issues not identifiable by conventional means, and almost instantly. This course will equip participants with new skills to gather, analyse, visualise and act on the above operation data timely. Besides, as many equipment and processes are typically over-spec in terms of energy usage, the same course will also enable participants to identify energy hot spots in their operations or facilities.
