MEC Optimize for high efficiency and

availability

Optimum system efficiency and a high level of system availability are important factors for industries to
reduce production costs and to increase competitiveness. In this field the use of state-of-the-art data
acquisition and analysis is very beneficial and gives information about the operating performance and
efficiency of energy-generating systems. With MEC Optimize, Bosch offers operators of steam and hot
water boiler plants a new, innovative system for energy monitoring and operational safety.

MEC Optimize captures all the operating parameters and
messages of the linked system components. Over many years
the data are stored locally, which means that the plant opera-
tor remains the data owner. The visualisation takes place in
the three separate areas of efficiency, operation and service
and provides a comprehensive analysis.

After an automated data analysis the system indicates any
increased energy consumption as well as evaluates the
system’s operating performance. Based on their load profile
components are assessed for wear which enables the plant
operator to ensure that system availability is maintained.

At every test interval, the boiler attendant can enter the recor-
ded measurement values into the electronic boiler logbook
and print these out if required via an export function.
The intelligent boiler logbook also checks all entered data,
then compares this with the manufacturer’s specifications and
gives action recommendations if there are any discrepancies.

Further benefits of MEC Optimize:
▶ Easy plant integration in the process control system or visualisation via PC/tablet
▶ Digital document storage for operating instructions, data sheets, maintenance and service reports
▶ Optional connection to remote service tool MEC Remote: transfers the current system status and reports
important information via SMS or e-mail to the plant operator
