New power management system saves time and cuts costs – Pharmacia Corporation

Like many plant engineers, Dave Tracy and Jim Vyuerberg of Pharmacia Corporation vividly remember the times when clipboards and shoe leather were the key components in monitoring energy consumption. They and their colleagues had to trek all over the plant to scribble down power meter data, then manually enter it into a spreadsheet program. At Pharmacia’s Kalamazoo, Michigan plant, however, all that trekking and scribbling has been replaced by a power management system that saves time, cuts costs, and preserves uptime. Find out the full story of Pharmacia Corporation on replacing manual data collection on energy usage to a more intuitive, automated model.
