Easy and flexible optimization of energy consumption
As energy prices rise, efficient management becomes vital. New software offers integrated data and adaptability to help companies optimize consumption.
With rising energy costs and evolving regulations, effective monitoring and management are essential. Modern energy software must meet diverse company needs, starting with robust data integration. It should collect and analyze data from various sources meters, sensors, and other devices. Since companies generate large volumes of data, only by consolidating it can energy use be fully monitored and optimized.
User-friendliness is key to energy management software. An intuitive interface enables effective use without extensive training, boosting company-wide adoption. Scalability ensures the solution grows with business needs, while flexibility allows customization of dashboards and reports. In short, modern energy software must be comprehensive, easy to use, and adaptable to meet diverse company demands.
Continuous acquisition, monitoring, and evaluation of a wide range of energy data
Empuron AG and Phoenix Contact have partnered to create EMS – On-Premises, a modern energy management software. Combining Phoenix Contact’s automation expertise with Empuron’s energy system experience, the solution is tailored to user needs.
EMS enables continuous energy data monitoring without cloud access or extensive hardware. It tracks electricity, gas, temperature, and other media.
The software offers robust analysis tools to evaluate energy data and generate insightful reports, enabling informed energy-saving decisions. Key metrics are compared with targets or used to set new ones. Its intuitive interface ensures easy use, while scalability makes it suitable for businesses of all sizes, adapting efficiently to evolving needs.
Automatic creation of ISO 50001 reports
EMS – On-Premises qualifies for funding under ISO 50001, which supports systematic energy efficiency and sustainable savings. Since meeting these standards can be administratively demanding, the software simplifies the process by automatically generating compliant reports.
Compliance with such standards is driving broader adoption of EMS – On-Premises. The following examples show how the software has helped identify potential savings.
Energy savings of 50 percent for air locks and lighting in a concrete factory
Concrete factories with heavy machinery are major energy consumers. Monitoring mixers, cranes, heating systems, and offices is essential. EMS – On-Premises quickly delivered improvements through clear data and graphs. Measuring devices on mixers revealed inefficient machines, while heating analysis showed components were cured too early due to excess heat. Offices and halls had high nighttime energy use from air locks and lighting, with savings potential of up to 50%.
Savings of 13 percent through optimized machine settings in the Smart Factory
Automated production sites use many electric devices and fast processes. Analysis of machines, air conditioning, and lighting introduced KPIs like energy use per item, enabling better evaluation and a 13% energy reduction. Solar power and self-consumption were optimized by syncing PV output with the office’s EV charging park, cutting energy costs by 24%.
Greater transparency for informed decisions
Companies often know their overall energy use but lack insight into specific systems and processes. EMS – On-Premises, paired with proper measurement tools, offers clear evaluations and visualizations that reveal savings potential and support informed optimization.
Significance of ISO 50001 for energy management systems
ISO 50001 is a global standard that guides companies in systematically improving energy efficiency and achieving sustainable savings. It offers a structured approach, including the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, for ongoing optimization. Certification helps reduce energy costs, lower emissions, and meet legal requirements.
While ISO 50001 doesn’t mandate energy management software, using it greatly simplifies implementation. Automatically compiling key figures and loads into detailed reports is a major step toward certification.
