March 2, 2008—Infor has introduced the EAM Asset Sustainability Edition, an enterprise software solution that allows organizations to integrate energy consumption and emissions management into their asset management practices.
Infor EAM Asset Sustainability Edition enables organizations to substantially reduce energy costs, while minimizing carbon emissions and the impact of their operations on the environment, according to the company.
EAM Asset Sustainability Edition factors energy consumption into total asset performance, providing a more complete understanding of the true costs to operate and maintain an asset, says Infor. The software also factors in an asset’s consumption of any of the WAGES commodities (water, air, gas, electricity, and steam), as well as monitoring fugitive emissions, like ozone- depleting refrigerant gases.
Infor EAM Asset Sustainability Edition automates the processes associated with managing assets and their related resource consumption. It tracks the consumption of individual assets in real-time, evaluates the data against user-defined conditions, and alerts users to anomalies when assets exceed acceptable performance thresholds.
The solution also elevates decision-making by incorporating consumption and emission data into key performance indicators and reports. Program managers, for example, can generate reports that provide macro-level analysis of CO2 emissions and drill down into the performance of each asset through easy-to-use graphical dashboards.
The software also enables companies to benchmark the performance of a specific asset to determine the cost of maintaining it at current energy consumption levels versus replacing it with a newer, more energy efficient asset.
Infor EAM Asset Sustainability Edition is a Web- architected application that can be deployed on-premises at the customer site or hosted by Infor. The software receives energy consumption data through asset sub- metering, either through existing sub-metering electronics systems or other third-party sensors, and can use wireless mesh networks for communications.
