Transparency from the facility to the Machine – with autinityE3
autinityE3 connects data from machines, utilities, and MES/ERP systems in real time, making consumption, deviations, and savings potential clearly visible. This helps you reduce costs, avoid peak loads, and optimize your processes from the start. Thanks to hardware‑independent integration and a scalable architecture, autinityE3 is easy to implement and supports auditproof operations.
Through full transparency of processes and usage.
With automated monitoring and intelligent warning mechanisms.
Through automated evaluations and audit-proof reporting.
Challenges where we can help
Fluctuating energy prices and unclear consumption lead to unnecessary extra costs and a lack of planning reliability.
Data from machines, utilities, and processes is often siloed across different systems—decisions are then based on incomplete information.
Many companies lack time or specialists to manually evaluate data and systematically realize savings potential.
Standards such as ISO 50001 or internal requirements create high reporting effort that quickly becomes overwhelming without automation.
autinityE3 bridges these gaps with standardized connectivity and AI-powered analytics.

Intelligent control:
Consumption hierarchies, action catalogs, budget control, and limits with alerting functions.
Evaluations & KPIs:
Sankey charts, tables, diagrams, and custom metrics for maximum transparency.
Efficient management for electricity, gas, water, and compressed air.
Ensures quick and easy software usage.
Industry-specific use cases for an easy start.
Core features in autinityE3
Custom cockpits
Role-based dashboards providing needed energy and production data.
- Widgets per role (Energy, Production, Management) with MES/ERP drilldown
- Drilldowns on lines, equipment, and measuring points
- Alarms and warning messages with escalation levels
- KPI cards, filters, trends, and favorites
Comprehensive action management
Measures can be planned, implemented, and evaluated. Responsibilities, budgets, and results are clearly visible, including automatic before-and-after validation.
- Lists of actions, responsibilities, deadlines
- Thresholds and budgets with status tracking
- Automatic evaluation: Before/After, baselines, confidence
- Clear transparency of impact for teams and management
Production data analysis
Machines and consumption data are analyzed together so that energy, orders, materials, and segment data can be viewed within a consistent context.
- Costs per order or part based on real-time data
- Identification of inefficient profiles and idle time
- Integration of MES and ERP context for orders and materials
- Analyses for lines, segments, and export for controlling
Identifying and assessing base loads, idle time and energy losses – to enable targeted measures and achieve permanently lower running costs.
Automatic alerts in the event of deviations, threshold breaches or leaks. Early warnings help prevent unnecessary additional consumption.
Transparency regarding energy flows, consumption shares and emissions allocated according to the polluter-pays principle. Ideal for sustainability reports and monitoring.
Forecasts of consumption and peak loads support forward-looking planning and help to identify risks at an early stage and avoid peak costs.
Connectivity & Interfaces
autinityE3 integrates data from media, machinery and production IT via open, vendor-neutral interfaces. The solution operates reliably in brownfield environments and provides a unified data model for analytics, AI and cross-site comparisons.
What we connect:
- Media: Hardware-independent integration of electricity, gas, heat, water and compressed air meters
- Machinery: Integration of PLCs, SCADA and BMS systems for machine status and signals
- Production IT: Integration of MES and ERP systems for order, shift and material context
- Building automation: Support for common building automation protocols
How to get started with autinityE3
autinityE3 offers an easy introduction to resource management and supports a phased transition from existing monitoring systems to a centralised solution. Thanks to its hardware-independent integration and optional parallel operation, systems can be modernised and expanded.
Discover autinityE3 on Schaeffler Media or IndustryStock and see for yourself.
We offer two packages tailored precisely to your needs:
autinityE3 Starter
The easy way to make production data usable in a structured format. The Starter version provides quick insight into selected measurement points directly on the machine and is ready for immediate use without the need for complex IT systems. Ideal for companies that want to start small, identify initial opportunities for savings and expand easily later on.
autinityE3 Enterprise
The comprehensive solution for businesses that want to make full and centralised use of their production data. The Enterprise Version processes large volumes of data from multiple departments or sites and enables a consistent approach across the entire manufacturing process. This creates a future-proof, audit-ready data foundation for clear decision-making and stable processes.
