With energy monitoring as part of energy management, industry and business can sustainably improve their energy efficiency. The energy factor is playing an increasingly important role in the balance sheets of manufacturing companies. The costs of electricity, water, gas, heat or compressed air can have a significant impact on the value chain of your industrial company. In order to uncover potential savings measures, it makes sense to monitor energy consumption so that your energy data becomes fully transparent. Smart energy monitoring Industry 4.0 creates maximum cost transparency for you.
By continuously monitoring suitable key figures, energy consumption can be limited or, at best, minimized. It allows you to precisely determine times, places and systems with excessive energy requirements in your company. This uncovers load peaks, prevents waste and improves your negotiating position with your energy supplier. In addition, technical problems are noticed by a monitoring system before they actually occur.
The law requires particularly energy-intensive companies to carry out an energy audit to increase their energy efficiency. Energy efficiency potential often remains unused, especially in medium-sized businesses. The federal funding for energy consulting in medium-sized businesses (EBM), for example, is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for energy consulting services and is funded by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) at 80%. With the Energy Management System with Measurement Technology Guideline, Module 3, BAFA also supports energy management software and commissioning, necessary hardware and installation with up to 40% of the net investment costs. This guarantees a quick return on investment.
In order to uncover possible savings measures, energy consumption monitoring always brings advantages. It supports you in energetically evaluating building complexes at your company location, production processes and manufacturing facilities with the help of appropriate key figures.
- Recording of all energy and operating data in your company
- Central evaluation and monitoring of consumption
- Generation of key figures for easy evaluation of the energy situation
- Alerting in the event of deviations and thus promptly finding the cause to avoid high energy costs
- Assignment of consumption to cost center accounting
- Automatic generation and sending of energy reports
Energy monitoring is inconceivable without data collection, but data collection is conceivable without energy monitoring. However, then it is not as detailed, reliable and informative. When selecting and incorporating suitable measurement variables into your energy monitoring system, you should integrate and record appropriate electrical and pipe-based measurement technology for the media electricity, water, gas, heat or compressed air. You can aggregate all consumption data using data technology and temporarily store it synchronously. With the help of an energy management system, the temporarily stored values are automatically read out and clearly analyzed.
In this way, energy saving potential can be continuously identified and used in your company. You significantly reduce your energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. With Berg your energy monitoring becomes smart and simple.
