Energy saving proposal from Mitsubishi


Mitsubishi energy saving supporting devices support
your energy saving measures as a Simple, convenient, compact
energy saving supporting tool by visible management.

Energy conservation contributes


Growing recognition of energy conservation
Increase of
the electric rate

The Kyoto protocol


(Entered into force: 2005)

ISO-14001

Due to the recent increase


in oil prices and rise in
electricity costs in certain
countries, energy saving
has been regarded as
necessary to cut the
electricity costs.

With
global
warming
becoming more serious
each year, countries that
ratify this protocol commit
to reduce their emissions of
greenhouse gases compared
to the 1990 emission levels.
Global movements for energy
saving have become more
active.

More companies are being certified according to


ISO-14001. This growing concern for environmental
problems and environmental preservation efforts by
companies is seen as one of their management priorities.

Concepts of energy saving


What do you need if you are to go on a diet? Measuring your
weight and making a graph of the weight fluctuation can lead
to success in a diet. The same holds for energy saving.
Measuring energy and analyzing current factory conditions by
Visible Management is the starting point to conserve energy.

Weight Measurement

Electronic Energy Measurement

For energy saving, measuring and managing product production energy units is
necessary.

Measurement (grasp and analyze current conditions) and improvement activities are necessary for energy saving.

Effects of Energy Saving


Increase of productivity
Productivity at normal conditions can be analyzed by managing unit consumptions (Electrical
power/production quantity). For example, one reason of worsening unit consumption can be facility
breakdown. By finding the cause, the unit consumptions will decrease, which leads to improvement
in productivity. Moreover, surveillance of upper/lower limits contributes to maintaining electrical

machines and equipment.

Increase of Energy Efficiency


Effective energy saving activities start from grasping the current conditions by making energy
usage amount visible. Efficiency of energy usage becomes possible by thorough energy

Visible
Management

management by department, and usage by unit consumption management by each line facility.
At factories
Realize visible management by building a model
factory for energy saving
Realize visible management where everyone
participates by disclosing data
Finding waste by unit consumption management at
each facility
Finding waste by measuring facility management
Strengthen unit consumption management by time, line
and facility

At buildings
Realize visible management where everyone participates
by data disclosure
Implement and promote energy saving activities by
Management By Objective
Strengthen each floors time and energy usage management

Increase of Production Process Efficiency


By measuring electrical power on a short cycle (1 sec, 1 min etc),
how each load changes throughout the manufacturing process
can be observed. You can analyze if there is any unprofitable
waiting time or unnecessary load current running during a waiting
time.
