How do I get started?
Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Factory Energy Management for your business. Begin with a familiar site, its meter register and a recent operating period. Rehearse reading review and a maintenance authorization before expanding the scope.
Can we distinguish estimated meter readings?
Yes. Readings carry quality flags for Valid, Estimated, Missing and Invalid. Energy Manager reviews the quality alongside the validation result before deciding how the observation supports consumption review.
How do we handle cumulative meters?
Record the meter’s reading mode and agree how its observations become consumption intervals during setup. Review adjacent intervals and their actual boundaries before accepting them for analysis.
Who authorizes maintenance?
Maintenance Coordinator reviews the site task, assigned person and due date before moving it from Open to Approved. Technician then records work in progress and actual completion.
Does completing maintenance resolve an operating event?
Energy Manager reviews event recovery separately. A completed inspection can inform that decision, while an alarm or outage remains acknowledged until the operating evidence supports resolution.
How do production references enter the review?
Cost Analyst records the work order reference with the meter, actual allocation period and attributed energy. Agree the reference convention with the production team, or set up a connection to its source system.
How do we handle a tariff change?
Compare the consumption interval with the tariff’s effective start and end. Agree how to treat an interval crossing a rate boundary during reporting setup, and check the unit before calculating a cost.
What supports an emission factor?
The factor includes an energy type, regional basis, effective start and source citation linked to an operating event. Sustainability Analyst reviews its applicability to the consumption period used in the calculation.
Can we connect meter feeds?
Set up a connection to your meter gateway or observation source. Map meter identity, time and quality, then rehearse rejected and corrected observations before scheduling ongoing collection.
What should we bring to the first review?
Bring a meter register, sample observations, effective tariffs and recognizable production references. Include an operating event and a cited emission factor so the team can rehearse the handoffs described in Implementation.
