Rockwell Automation White Paper Educates Food Industry on Benefits of an Integrated Energy Management Strategy

羅克韋兒自動化白皮書為食品工業的利益提高提供整合能源管理策略

New white paper outlines steps food manufacturers can take to more effectively manage and reduce energy costs and improve power quality

  新白皮書概要了食品生產商可以采取的怎樣更高效管理
，減低能源消耗以及提高能源利用律的措施。

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 5, 2006 — Food manufacturers have experienced as much as a 50 percent rise in energy costs — significantly impacting the total cost to produce final product. To help manufacturers improve their operational efficiency, Rockwell Automation today announced the availability of a new white paper that highlights the primary areas of energy consumption in food production and outlines the steps manufacturers can take to move toward more energy-efficient operations. The paper, "How a Well-Planned Strategy Can Help the Food Industry More Effectively Manage Its Energy-Related Costs," is available at www.rockwellautomation.com/industries/food.

"The key to effective energy management is information and knowledge—information on what''''s happening and the knowledge to do something about it," said John Kascur, vice president, Food Industry Initiative, Rockwell Automation. "Through our Power and Energy Management Solutions, Rockwell Automation helps food manufacturers gather the information they need to improve energy efficiency, lower energy costs and improve plant reliability."

“有效能源管理的關鍵是信息和知識——正在發生什麼的信息和如何應對的知識。”羅克韋爾自動化食品工業部副總裁John Kascur說
，“tongguowomendedianlihenengyuanguanlifangan，luokeweierzidonghuabangzhushipinshengchanshangshoujisuoxuyaodexinxilaitigaonengyuanxiaolv
，jiandinengyuanchengbenyijitigaoshebeikekaoxing。”

As energy costs continue to rise, food manufacturers are taking greater control over these expenses and gaining a critical competitive advantage. The key to reducing energy-related expenses is understanding where, when and how much is being consumed. Armed with this information, companies can proactively manage load requirements, improve system performance and reduce costs.

  隨著能源成本的不斷上漲，食品生產商投入了更高的費用來贏得重大的競爭優勢。降低能源相關開支的關鍵是了解什麼地方、什麼時候
、多少的量的能源消耗。有了這些信息，企業就可以精確的管理裝載需求，提高係統性能，減低成本。

Electricity costs are only a part of the overall energy issues that face food manufacturers. Natural gas prices have skyrocketed in recent years, with additional increases expected in 2005-2006, which will in turn increase production costs related to many processes, particularly those using ovens. Steam and compressed air costs also are impacted by higher electricity and natural gas costs.

The Rockwell Automation white paper highlights several case history examples of how food manufacturers have utilized energy management systems to control energy consumption and reduce costs. It also includes a discussion of how power optimization tools, such as variable frequency drives, can by applied to motor systems to significantly reduce the amount of energy used in a manufacturing process.
