e!Sankey

e!Sankey, developed by iPoint-systems gmbh, is a data visualization software created for generating Sankey diagrams. According to the vendor, this versatile tool is targeted at companies of all sizes operating in various industries and professions, including energy management, facility management, process engineering, process control, and business and marketing analysis.

Key Features

Versatile Deployment: According to the vendor, e!Sankey can be deployed across different industries and professions, such as energy management, facility management, process engineering, process control, and business and marketing analysis.

Visualization of Material and Energy Flows: The vendor claims that e!Sankey enables users to visualize material and energy flows in a clear and intuitive manner. The Sankey diagrams created with this software represent the flow quantity through directed arrows, with the width of the arrows being proportional to the flow quantity. This visualization feature aims to enhance users' understanding of the system's structure and distribution.

Proportional Arrow Width: The vendor asserts that e!Sankey allows users to create Sankey diagrams where the width of the arrows is proportional to the flow quantity. This proportional representation visually illustrates the relative flow quantities.

Named after Captain Sankey: Sankey diagrams are named after Captain Matthew H.R. Sankey, an Irish engineer who, in 1898, pioneered the use of arrows to represent energy flows proportionally. According to the vendor, Captain Sankey's chart comparing the efficiency of steam engines laid the foundation for the widespread use of Sankey diagrams in various fields.
