Schneider Electric StruxureWare Resource Advisor Performance Analytics

Schneider Electric has launched Performance Analytics, a suite of functionality within its StruxureWare Resource Advisor software platform. This functionality builds on Resource Advisor’s capabilities, including the ability to monitor energy and carbon markets, manage key sustainability metrics and report results to stakeholders on more than 400 types of resource streams, including utility and facility data, weather data, and water and energy usage.

To become more sustainable and efficient, companies must understand how their facilities consume resources on a site-by-site basis in enough detail to find inefficiencies and fix them. But they also need a simple way to look across the enterprise, in order to prioritise efforts, measure results, report to their stakeholders and compare themselves to their peers. Performance Analytics now allows Resource Advisor users to collect, visualise and analyse near-real-time interval data from a variety of sources, in context of this enterprise-wide view of their data.

Performance Analytics allows for data collection and integration from multiple sources, simplifying visualisation and analysis of interval data, while reducing the cost of data acquisition. Leveraging Schneider Electric’s membership with the Green Button Association, Schneider Electric can collect data straight from the utility, bypassing the need for on-site meters and software. Schneider Electric can also tap into existing utility relationships to obtain interval data, or data can be obtained from a variety of meter, submeter or BMS data, which may exist on-site or can be installed.
