AMO Tools Desktop v0.2.6-beta
A software tool for calculating energy efficiency for a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications.
The Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) has undertaken an effort to refactor legacy tools that were written for the Windows platform into a modern environment. The legacy tools were written in a variety of programming languages, and the source code considered proprietary. This meant that updating them was a difficult task.
AMO’s tools help manufacturers increase industrial energy efficiency at the plant-level and in specific systems. Learn step-by-step ways to identify opportunities, monitor progress, and improve efficiency in any facility. Some tools help facilities implement an energy management system and prepare to become ISO 50001 and Superior Energy Performance certified.
