Depletion of fossil energy sources, rising energy prices and government regulation coerces manufacturing companies to foster their energyefficiency. Among others, Information and communication technologies (ICT) are considered to be major enablers for improving the energy-efficiency. In this paper a concept for energy-efficiency based on an Event-driven Architecture (EDA) using Complex-Event-Processing (CEP) is presented that supports the integration of sensor data from the shop-floor level into the company's decision support systems. Finally, a use-case for implementing the proposed concept in a real production environment is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
