Energy Management
An integrated energy management system combines energy monitoring, energy controlling, load management and load control in one central system
In the age of the energy transition and in view of constantly rising energy costs, the efficient use of energy and the optimization of energy consumption is more important than ever from an economic and ecological point of view. Simply measuring energy consumption is no longer enough. What is needed are holistic concepts that include the integration of existing measuring equipment, the high quality and reliability of new electricity meters and sensors, as well as supplementary software and services.
Holistic energy management systems that combine energy monitoring, energy controlling, load management and load control in a central system are becoming an indispensable part of any sustainability strategy. Energy consumption can only be optimized and savings achieved with full transparency and control.
Energy management software
With the combination of the energy management and energy controlling software Efficio, together with the load and charge management software Optimo, you can measure, record, analyze, report, alarm and thus achieve energy optimization of all consumers – all combined in one software. With extensive analysis and reporting options, the evaluations can be designed entirely according to your needs.
Experience has shown that an energy management system can achieve savings of up to 15 %, which means that the investment is often amortized in a short time.
Energiemonitoring und -controlling “Efficio”
Mit dem Energiemanagementsystem Efficio können Sie in Ihrem Unternehmen kontinuierlich Energieeinsparpotenziale erkennen und Energietransparenz schaffen. Energiekosten können so gesenkt und die Energieeffizienz entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette erhöht werden.
Efficio deckt als eine der führenden Softwarelösungen bereits in der Basisversion alle Anforderungen an eine professionelle Energiemanagementsoftware ab. Für noch höhere Ansprüche steht eine Reihe von Modulen zur Verfügung. So kann Efficio für die kundenspezifischen Anforderungen massgeschneidert werden.
Zusammen mit unseren präzisen Energiezählern können valide Messwerte aller Verbrauchsdaten in Efficio schnell analysiert und übersichtlich visualisiert werden. Um auch langfristig eine Steigerung der Energieeffizienz zu er reichen, legen Sie in Efficio Ihre organisationsweite Energiepolitik fest, setzen sich Energieziele, schaffen Aktionspläne und messen Ihre Zielerreichung direkt anhand von Leistungskennzahlen.
“Optimo” load management and charging management
Why pay more grid usage fees than necessary? This is because the energy supplier bases its calculation on your maximum annual output, the so-called power peak, and not on your actual energy consumption.
Avoid power peaks in electricity and gas consumption fully automatically and significantly reduce your grid usage costs. With our intelligent Optimo load management system, you can counteract expensive power peaks in industrial production processes or the operation of building complexes. Control power generators and consumers flexibly. Intervene actively, directly and quickly in your power consumption.
LoRaWAN
Energy and production figures are often influenced by environmental factors, material quality and transportation conditions. In order to recognize this, numerous other sensor data must be recorded in addition to the energy data.
Due to the standardization of IoT technology with the introduction of the “Long Range Wide Area Network”, a wireless and cost-effective collection method for sensor data is available. With just one IoT gateway, data can be collected from low-cost sensors within a radius of over 1 km², which can be positioned virtually anywhere due to their battery operation. Very long battery lifetimes (typically 10 years) ensure long-term, maintenance-free operation.
Regardless of whether an IoT infrastructure already exists or is currently being considered, our IoT cloud solution ensures secure data collection and integration into the Efficio energy management software without having to provide know-how and infrastructure within the company itself.
Energy meters, current transformers, multimeters and network analyzers
A comprehensive energy management system also includes hardware. That’s why we offer a wide range of energy meters, current transformers, multimeters and network analyzers that are tailored to the needs and requirements of our customers. We can even offer meters, flow, heat and cooling sensors for media such as water, compressed air and gases. Our hardware can of course be perfectly integrated into the Efficio and Optimo energy management software.
Our services
Consulting and technical support
We offer technical support for your entire energy project, from consulting, planning and concept development through to successful commissioning.
