EnergyMaster : reducing the companies carbon footprint

In times that energy cost and CO2 emission are of the highest concern, EnergyMaster is an indispensable tool for the monitoring and control of energy consumption. EnergyMaster monitors the energy consumption of the molding machines, material dryers, compressors, chillers,… to fire real time alarms or to supply long term analysis. EnergyMaster makes the energy consumption transparent throughout the total production process and pinpoints the areas where energy is spoiled or used ineffectively. Large savings can be achieved with practically no investments.
