Mitsubishi Electric Corporation today announced that its new EcoAdviser data analysis and diagnostics software (MES3-EAP1-AI) to increase energy efficiency in manufacturing plants will be released on October 26. The new software uses Mitsubishi Electric's artificial intelligence (AI) technology to efficiently save energy, such as identifying energy losses, diagnosing potential energy loss factors, and quantifying the expected impact of energy-saving measures.

Energy efficiency and energy saving are becoming increasingly important as energy costs continue to rise. To reduce these costs, new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to help implement effective energy-saving solutions in manufacturing plants. Mitsubishi Electric's new EcoAdviser software will provide energy-efficient data analysis and diagnostics-based recommendations that go beyond simple visualization and support significant energy-saving solutions in the manufacturing sector.
The key features of the new Eco Advisor software include
Maisart AI and 5-point methodology automatically identify energy losses in manufacturing Previously, factories needed to perform continuous self-analysis building on data collected and field inspection results in order to determine energy loss. EcoAdviser identifies and quantifies energy losses based on AI analysis and Mitsubishi Electric's five-point methodology:
- equipment time-loss when starting up equipment
- time-loss when shutting down operational
- time-loss of utility equipment
- non-operation rate of equipment
- specific energy consumption
Visualisation of improvements achieved through energy saving initiatives
Factors closely correlating with energy loss, such as date and time, equipment and so on are prioritized in terms of potential for reducing losses through recommended countermeasures. Also, key points are clarified to ensure effective energy-saving measures.
Visualization of improvements realized through energy-saving initiatives Users can quickly confirm the scope of improvement through before-and-after comparisons of results. By continuously analyzing the effectiveness energy-saving countermeasures in a quantitative manner, improvements can be steadily enhanced by separately reviewing the effectiveness of each initiative.
Customizable energy dashboard enables diverse analytics A customizable dashboard allows users to focus on priority issues and key performance indicators (KPIs). Additionally, empirical evidence has shown that sharing energy KPI data with factory workers on large displays in a worksite promotes greater awareness and more attention to energy saving. EcoAdviser offers diverse analytical graphics, including pie charts, rankings, time series, box plots, scatter diagrams, pareto charts and histograms.
