MX4 Energy - going soft on energy management

MX4 Energy is an integrated automatic monitoring and targeting (aM and T) software system from Mitsubishi Electric.

MX4 Energy is an integrated automatic monitoring and targeting (aM and T) software system from Mitsubishi Electric for energy, facilities, production managers in all sectors of industry, commerce and government.

MX4 Energy accepts information acquired automatically by the control systems used in manufacturing and processing, the utilities, food packaging and processing, etc as well as key data on ambient temperature, production targets and other consumption variables.

It then generates reports either by interactively browsing 'on the fly' or by scheduling specific outputs.

These include league tables, exception reports, benchmarking, targeting, budgeting, data quality and consumption/cost profiles.

Reports are created via templates to give a consistency of output for ease of understanding.

The templates may be edited by the user to customise them for particular installations.

Routine reporting tasks may be assigned to the scheduler ensuring they are run automatically on a regular basis.

Reports and data can be printed out, forwarded by email and even saved in HTML format for posting to a web or intranet site.

The powerful Report Generator function within MX4 Energy can combine data, text and graphical elements from any part of the database.

Reports can include actual costs by applying prices and tariff structures and these can be automatically allocated to the appropriate users.

MX4 Energy constantly collects massive amounts of high frequency data and automatically converts this into easily understood real-time information.

It includes definable performance alarms which alert supervisors if set limits are broken.

The data can be viewed on screen in an easy to manage directory structure, and can be edited directly through the keyboard.

Navigation is made easier by selecting different views, such as a list format or a tree view and powerful searching tools enable quick access to data.

Security permissions allow various levels of access eg administrative, users and guests and an audit function records each user's activity on the database.

The Report Generator can be used for general data browsing and to create daily and weekly costing reports, monthly reports and summaries, overspend and exceptions, usage profiles, function and associated cost pairing.

League tables, graphs and tabular reports can also be compiled.

MX4 Energy also offers automated data quality checks, statistical analysis, and target band analysis to provide on-going energy surveys, awareness and training, and project management.

MX4 Energy helps achieve 5% to 20% energy cost savings, its ease of use and automatic data collection providing fast accurate energy consumption analysis.

It is directly integratable with Mitsubishi PLCs and MX4SCADA and with a wide range of third party controllers and software.

The rapidity with which it can detect energy waste ensures a prompt return on investment and on-going energy efficiency gains.
