Energy Waste Is Hidden—Until You Start Measuring It

In Romania’s industrial sectors—from glass production in Iași to food processing in Sibiu—energy waste is often invisible. Machines run inefficiently, compressors stay online longer than needed, and utilities are used out of sync with demand. The costs quietly pile up—on your electricity bills, CO₂ emissions, and maintenance overhead.

The real challenge? Most factories lack the real-time visibility and analytics to detect where waste is happening.

That’s where AVEVA InTouch HMI changes the game.

The Energy Efficiency Mandate for Romanian Factories

Romanian industry is facing new expectations and rising costs:

⚡ Energy prices remain volatile across Europe
🌍 ESG and sustainability requirements are rising
📉 Inefficiency leads to profit loss in competitive export markets

The response? Smart plants are aligning automation systems with industrial energy efficiency strategies. And it all starts with real-time HMI and SCADA visibility.

How AVEVA InTouch HMI Helps Improve Energy Efficiency

AVEVA InTouch isn’t just about control—it’s about insight. It delivers a powerful foundation for measuring, analyzing, and reducing energy consumption at scale.

1. Real-Time Energy Monitoring

Track electricity, steam, water, and gas usage at machine or line level
Visualize energy consumption against production volumes
Set efficiency baselines and watch for deviations in real time

2. Load Profiling and Peak Demand Alerts

Profile energy usage by shift, equipment type, or building
Identify peak usage periods and investigate root causes
Configure alarms when thresholds are exceeded

3. Integration with Energy Meters and Sensors

Connect directly to energy analyzers and utility meters via OPC, Modbus, or MQTT
Monitor compressor loads, HVAC cycles, and lighting usage
Display consumption KPIs on operator dashboards

4. Web-Based Dashboards for Energy Managers

Access real-time data remotely via browser-based HMI clients
Share reports and dashboards with plant directors and sustainability teams
Compare energy usage across multiple Romanian sites

5. Analytics-Ready Historical Data

Feed structured data into AVEVA Insight, Excel, or BI tools
Correlate energy usage with production rates, downtime, or process changes
Use insights to justify retrofits, automation upgrades, and behavioral training

The Broader Picture: Sustainability and Competitiveness

Industrial energy efficiency in Romania is no longer just about cost control—it’s about positioning your factory for future competitiveness. Whether your company is targeting ISO 50001 compliance, ESG scoring, or EU Green Deal alignment, you need actionable data to get there.

AVEVA InTouch HMI helps bridge automation with sustainability. It gives plant managers, engineers, and energy teams the tools to take control of consumption—without slowing down production.

Final Thoughts: Get Smart About Energy in Romanian Industry

Every kilowatt you don’t waste is a gain—for profit, performance, and the planet.

If you’re an automation engineer, maintenance leader, or energy manager in Romania, now is the time to integrate energy monitoring into your SCADA/HMI strategy.

AVEVA InTouch HMI offers the transparency, control, and analytics your plant needs to move from guessing to managing.
