Defining requirements for energy efficiency in manufacturing
The paper deals with definition of the requirements for achieving energy efficiency in manufacturing, which are essential to enhancement of productivity and profitability of future industrial processes. Within the development of sustainable production, it is necessary to pay particular attention to reducing energy consumption in manufacturing processes and increasing the energy efficiency of production systems. The modern techniques are designed to radically improve profitability, customer satisfaction, environmental and energy responsibility. In today's manufacturing environment there is a strong recognition of Energy Management as a significant source of both social responsibility and cost savings. Energy typically represents the single largest controllable cost in manufacturing, and is under constant scrutiny by all levels of management. This article presents research requirements that have been identified as important for manufacturing companies in energy efficient production.
Key words: manufacturing enterprise, energy efficiency, intelligent agent, sustainable development, reconfigurable manufacturing
