Energy Consumption Monitoring System Design of Workshop Processing Equipment Based on MTConnect

As the industry's main source of energy consumption, workshop processing equipment has great potential for energy saving. In this paper, we proposed an energy consumption monitoring model based on MTConnect. The system is divided into equipment layer, service layer and application layer. Using the machine tools as the application scenarios, we have implemented energy consumption monitoring for various devices at the same time. The system includes modules of the data collection, data transmission and data processing. Data collection module uses MTConnect Adapter and Agent to parse the data collected from the device and save in XML format. Data is transmitted via HTTP. Data processing module implemented data processing, real-time display, graph drawing and energy consumption analysis. We added the improved rete algorithm in Adapter and then improved the system efficiency.
