Comparing the energy use of our six production halls side by side

[DataStream]

Each of our six production halls has its own analyzer on the incoming feeder. Management wants a simple way to see which hall consumes the most, what it costs, and how the halls compare in terms of CO2 for our sustainability report.
So far I have been exporting the values and building charts in Excel every month, which takes half a day. I saw there is a Benchmark page in Logiphase, but I am not sure what it actually compares and whether the cost figure is correct for us. Can Benchmark replace my Excel work, and what should I set up first?

[Technical Support]

Yes, the Benchmark page is designed exactly for this comparison.
What Benchmark shows
- Summary cards: total active power, total imported active energy, total cost and the number of analyzers online.
- Metrics you can compare: active power, imported active energy (EP+), imported reactive energy (EQ+), CO₂ emissions, equivalent trees and cost.
- A bar chart that ranks the selected analyzers for the chosen metric, so the biggest consumer is at the top.
- A radar chart that compares up to six online analyzers at once, which fits your six halls exactly.
- A detail table that can be sorted by any column.
Set up first
1. Make sure each hall's analyzer has a clear name in Development > Analyzers (for example "Hall 1 – Incoming"). These names appear in the charts.
2. Set the unit energy price in Settings > Tariff. The cost figures are calculated from this price, so if it is empty or outdated, the cost will be wrong.
3. Check that all six analyzers are online (green on Live Monitoring); the radar chart only uses online analyzers.
Daily use
Select the six hall analyzers, choose the metric (for example imported active energy or cost) and read the ranking. For the sustainability report, switch the metric to CO₂ emissions or equivalent trees.
If you still need a monthly table for archiving, use Reports > Tag Logs with the energy counters of the six analyzers and export it as XLS; with logging set up correctly this takes only a few minutes.
