Abstract
Raising energy costs and government restrictions on CO2 emissions force enterprises to tackle their high-energy consumption. Considerable attempts have been made on insulation of buildings and fixing pressure leaks. The potential to reduce energy consumption at shop floor level is still being neglected. In addition to the usual scheduling criteria the new production planning and controlling software E-PPS optimizes against a balanced power load profile. Furthermore, the software creates a 24-hour power load profile forecast based on the current production schedule which can be handed over to the power supplier. Results of the first application of E-PPS are presented in this paper.
