Establish energy management and monitoring according to DIN EN ISO 50001 in the company
In today's industrial landscape, energy is not only an indispensable resource, but also a decisive cost factor. Companies must use energy efficiently and sparingly in order to remain competitive and future-proof. This is made possible by detailed energy monitoring and effective energy management, which also contributes to the sustainability of the company. At the same time, legislation requires that certain criteria are met in order to benefit from subsidies and relief, such as the repayment of energy and electricity taxes.
The current situation
Despite the importance of structured energy management, the reality in many companies is often different. Energy consumption is often recorded in confusing tables or lists, which makes it difficult to gain a comprehensive overview. These outdated methods only provide a current snapshot of the energy situation in the company and do not allow for the analysis of peak consumption or the automated calculation of key figures. Without this data, the savings potential often remains undiscovered. This is where an effective energy management system comes into play.
The energy management solution
More and more companies are turning to energy management in order to reduce energy costs and work more economically at the same time. Energy management comprises a range of measures aimed at minimizing the amount of energy used to achieve the required output. Existing processes, systems, structural conditions and human behavior are taken into account. The main aim of these measures is to reduce energy consumption and costs.
There are many different energy consumers in every company, from production to the warehouse to administration. These consumers contribute to the overall energy demand. Experts in interface integration are needed to efficiently manage the data from all these sources. Whether a company is just starting out and needs an inventory or already has an energy management system and is only looking for software for monitoring and analysis, Delphin offers scalable solutions that can be individually adapted and optimally integrated into existing infrastructures. The result is an eligible energy management system.
USE THE BAFA SUBSIDY FOR AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
The Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BaFA) supports companies and organizations in the field of energy optimization with attractive subsidies. Energy management software that complies with ISO 50001 is also recognized. Funding is available for software and hardware that supports energy management systems and analyzes metrological data for an energy assessment. The software must be able to meet the energy targets set by the company in the areas of controlling and monitoring. Delphin can advise you on this in a personal meeting, for example on the BaFA-eligible Profi Signal 20 software.
Energy management software solution
The Software solution from Delphin, eligible for funding from BAFA in accordance with ISO 50001, offers a comprehensive package with versatile interfaces as well as visualization and analysis options. All of a company's energy and process data can be automatically recorded, managed and made available centrally. Already installed measurement hardware and energy meters can be easily integrated into the Delphin software. Relevant information and data is available at all levels of the company, which saves time, shortens response times and significantly reduces administration costs.
Suitable energy management hardware
Delphin also offers the necessary hardware solutions for recording and monitoring the individual consumers. With flexible analog and digital signal inputs as well as versatile interfaces such as OPC UA and Modbus TCP, all energy and process data can be bundled in one system. This hardware is also eligible for funding if it contributes to the development of an energy management system. The combination of hardware and software ensures seamless interaction from data acquisition to reporting and successful auditing in accordance with ISO 50001.
Conclusion
An energy management system not only strengthens a company's competitiveness and future viability, but also contributes to sustainability. Operational efficiency is significantly improved - an important lever that every company should use in times of limited resources and potential supply bottlenecks.
