Energy Monitoring Real-Time Data With Actionable Insights

Cost savings are at the top of the priority list for many companies. A modular system from IPF for monitoring energy and process data demonstrates how this can be achieved with minimal effort and low investment.

Industrial companies are facing growing pressure not only to measure energy consumption but also to analyze the data in a targeted manner and evaluate it in context in order to derive concrete measures. In light of the EU Green Deal, the requirements for sustainability reporting (CSRD – Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), and standards such as ISO 50006 (key performance indicators + monitoring) or ISO 14064 (greenhouse gas accounting), typically within the framework of an energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001, simply recording meter readings is no longer sufficient. At the same time, there is often a need for solutions to collect and analyze process data that can be integrated with minimal effort and, if possible, during ongoing operations, to enable continuous condition monitoring.
