What Is PME?
Power Monitoring Expert (PME) is an energy management software solution from Schneider Electric, designed to collect data from energy meters, power meters, protective relays, and electrical systems throughout industrial facilities. The collected data is displayed through an easy-to-understand dashboard.
The system enables users to monitor energy consumption, analyze power quality, and check the status of electrical systems in real time, helping improve operational efficiency and reduce energy costs.
What Can PME Do?
1. Monitor – Real-Time Energy Monitoring
PME collects data from various devices throughout a facility and displays it on a real-time dashboard. This allows users to continuously monitor energy consumption across different areas, machines, and production lines.
Benefits
Monitor energy consumption in real time
Track electrical loads
Analyze energy consumption trends
2. Analyze – Energy Data Analysis
The system generates reports and graphs to help analyze:
Historical energy consumption
Peak demand
Power factor
Power quality
Energy consumption trends
These insights help industrial facilities develop effective strategies to reduce energy costs.
3. Alert – Abnormal Condition Notifications
When abnormal conditions occur, such as:
Abnormal voltage
Overcurrent
Power quality events
Loads exceeding predefined limits
PME can notify system operators, helping minimize equipment damage and reduce production downtime.
4. Optimize – Improve Energy Efficiency
Data from PME helps industrial facilities:
Reduce energy losses
Optimize electricity usage
Improve production efficiency
Reduce long-term energy costs
Why Should Industrial Facilities Implement PME?
Reduce Downtime
Early detection of electrical issues helps minimize equipment downtime and reduce disruptions to production.
Reduce Electricity Costs
Energy data analysis helps identify areas of excessive or unnecessary energy consumption, enabling facilities to optimize energy usage and improve efficiency.
Improve Electrical System Reliability
PME helps monitor power quality, including voltage levels, harmonics, and abnormal electrical events. This enables operators to identify and address potential issues that could affect machinery and equipment.
Make Data-Driven Decisions
Dashboards and reports provide management teams and engineers with reliable data to support investment planning, energy management, and operational decision-making.
Which Industries Can Benefit from PME?
Power Monitoring Expert is suitable for industrial facilities and buildings with significant energy consumption, including:
Food and beverage manufacturing
Rubber and palm oil processing plants
