# Introduction

## What is OmniEnergy

OmniEnergy is a module of the OmniMES system that supports energy and utilities management in a production plant. The application combines measurement data, analytics and organizational processes (goals, audits, documentation), so the team can make decisions based on current and historical data.

In practice, OmniEnergy helps answer three key questions:

* where we consume the most energy and utilities,
* whether the consumption is justified by the production level,
* what actions should be taken to keep improving energy efficiency.

## Purpose of the system

The main purpose of OmniEnergy is to organize energy-related work in one place: from configuring sources and measurement points, through SEU analyses and EnPI indicators, to audits, goals and reporting.

The system was designed to support the organization in day-to-day operational work and in activities required by an energy management system compliant with ISO 50001.

## OmniEnergy functional scope

In its current scope, OmniEnergy covers, among others:

* a dashboard with the most important information,
* energy sources and measurement points,
* the SEU list and SEU configuration,
* EnB and EnPI trends,
* EnB and EnPI snapshots,
* energy goals,
* energy audits,
* documentation and audit reports,
* an automation schedule for selected processes.

## Abbreviations

The following abbreviations are used throughout the OmniEnergy documentation:

* **SEU** - Significant Energy Use; areas, lines or processes with a significant share in energy consumption.
* **EnPI** - Energy Performance Indicator; an indicator used to assess the efficiency of energy use.
* **EnB** - Energy Baseline; a reference value used to compare energy-consumption changes over time.

## Relation to OmniMES

OmniEnergy runs in the same environment as OmniMES and uses the same application context (user, permissions, navigation). Thanks to this:

* energy data can be analysed alongside production data,
* it is easier to link energy consumption with production volume,
* the production, maintenance and energy teams work on a shared set of information.

## Who this documentation is for

The OmniEnergy documentation is prepared for:

* business users responsible for energy consumption,
* configuration staff and administrators,
* internal auditors and people preparing data for reviews,
* management that needs cross-sectional information about energy efficiency.

## How to read this document

This chapter is introductory. The following chapters describe:

* basic configuration,
* day-to-day work in the module,
* analyses and interpretation of results,
* handling audits and documentation,
* good deployment and operational practices.

## Summary

OmniEnergy is a practical tool for energy management in a production organization. It combines measurements, analytics and formal processes in a single module, which makes it easier to reduce utility consumption, monitor progress and maintain compliance with ISO 50001 requirements.
