Omron's CO2 Visualization System Available to Further Improve Energy Efficiency of Business

2010.03.11 Thu

Having developed a CO2 Visualization System "ene-brain" to automatically analyze the areas of improvement for reducing energy consumption by businesses, Omron Corp. announced that it will begin selling the system in Japan from January 2010. The system supports business in meeting the reporting requirements specified in the amendment of the Act on the Rational Use of Energy (known as the Energy Conservation Law) which enters into effect in April 2010. It also provides necessary data for a businesses to reduce its energy usage by one percent every year (based on the consumption rate), as encouraged by the Japanese government.

This type of analysis has traditionally been done by consultants with the necessary expertise. However, installation of this system will enable a business to take CO2 reduction actions on regular basis on its own. According to Omron, the system can process 200 data inputs in about 10 minutes, while a consultant would require approximately 50 hours.

Factories that manufacture items such as semiconductor products and flat screen displays consume large amount of energy, resulting in a tremendous amount of data points, making such analysis difficult. Using the system, these factories can utilize the data to continuously improve operations and upgrade facility equipment.
