Manage Energy and Your Bottom Line

In this full-length webinar, Nic Azad hosts an in-depth discussion on energy management and sustainability with Corey Vodvarka, Parsec’s manufacturing expert and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and Penuel Chow, Software Applications Engineer.

Energy efficiency is an ongoing challenge for manufacturers, especially when visibility into consumption data is limited. This session explores how TrakSYS, a unified Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) platform, empowers organizations to monitor, analyze, and optimize utility usage across the enterprise—reducing waste, lowering costs, and achieving sustainability goals.

Key topics covered:

• How to establish visibility into utility data (water, air, gas, electricity, steam)
• Using sub-metering to benchmark and analyze consumption patterns
• Connecting energy management with production, quality, inventory, and maintenance data
• Identifying the root causes of overconsumption and inefficiency
• Leveraging contextualized energy data to drive continuous improvement
• Incorporating energy usage into cost-of-goods-sold calculations
• Making informed decisions about production scheduling to avoid peak rate hours
• Using energy intelligence for predictive maintenance and performance optimization
• Digitizing operations to reduce waste and paper usage
• Implementing TrakSYS workflows for maintenance requests and task management

Live demonstration highlights:

• Real-time monitoring of utility usage by department or value stream
• Color-coded dashboards for visual management and alerts
• Configurable notification systems for exceeding limits or maintenance triggers
• Manual and automated data entry options for energy readings
• Integrations with CMMS, ERP, and data historians for contextualized reporting
• Utility calculators for cost modeling and production scheduling optimization
• Correlating OEE and downtime events with energy usage patterns
• Comparing daily or job-based consumption trends for continuous improvement

Q&A highlights:

• How TrakSYS integrates with existing CMMS and data historians
• Managing real-time energy cost fluctuations and rate modeling
• Converting multiple energy types into common units of measure
• Using TrakSYS for predictive maintenance and proactive energy management

With TrakSYS, manufacturers gain actionable visibility into utility data—transforming raw numbers into meaningful intelligence that supports both operational excellence and sustainability.
