Abstract

Abstract In recent years, the automotive industry has set ambitious goals to reduce CO2 emissions of production facilities and started to consider energy costs in strategic procurement of manufacturing systems. Based on an industrial use-case, energy and media consumption behavior of production lines for series production of powertrain components was characterized and the degree of energetic utilization of machines and peripherals was evaluated. Technical and organizational efficiency measures were identified and benchmark KPIs were defined. In order to allow for demand forecasting as well as an evaluation of optimization strategies, material flow models of the production lines were extended by energy and media consumption data. Thus, demand-oriented operation of given infrastructure in different production scenarios as well as optimal dimensioning, design and control of new infrastructure was facilitated. Finally, a monitoring system based on an aggregation of continuously recorded sensor and production control data was established, allowing for continuous target-actual KPI comparison.
