While SiteWatch 360 can measure a wide variety of engineering variables, there are typically four types of users who need accurate views into the company's data at multiple levels:
Executive/General Management
- May need to view the performance, efficiency and reliability of their production equipment balanced against the cost of operating it
- Will usually need regular reports on efficiency, waste and the company's effect on the environment
Plant Operations
- Operations managers need to be able to see the performance and efficiency of single machines, groups of machines (all the compressors), production lines — often by product type
- Senior management may require multiple levels of internal reports, which often take time to produce
Financial Management
- May need to view levels of output from major production equipment, cost of production — in terms of labor, energy and raw materials — per unit of output
- Machine maintenance costs at different levels of production are also vital
Sustainability and Environmental Manager
- Need accurate data to comply with internal and external standards that are increasingly important to many investors
- May need to track the company's carbon footprint or GHG emissions, as well as environmental parameters for ESG reporting, which can consume a great deal ofttimes and effort
