Smart metering

Saving energy with smart metering

Digital systems for measuring energy consumption – that's smart metering. Thanks to intelligent networking, you receive all the data from your systems in detail and in real time. The necessary sensors can usually be retrofitted very easily. For you, this means: Knowing consumption, making adjustments and reducing electricity costs!

Know your power consumption with smart metering

Which systems consume the most energy? When do peak loads occur? And how can electricity consumption – and therefore the electricity bill – be sensibly reduced? A digital metering system can answer these and other questions for you. Smart metering uses modern sensor technology to network your machines and gain detailed insight into their energy consumption. This enables you to take targeted measures to reduce electricity consumption and exploit potential savings.

Smart metering can do more than just track power consumption

Digital meters can do more than just track energy consumption: Sensors for smart metering can usually be retrofitted without difficulty and allow a wide range of applications. For example, they can be used as gas meters, water meters or to measure CO2 in indoor air. They can also be used to easily measure and evaluate consumption values from electrical sub-distributions or machine supply lines.

Saving electricity in the company: 5 tips for lowering energy consumption

Constantly rising energy costs and a growing environmental awareness throughout society: For companies in all sectors, it has never been more important to work sustainably and reduce energy consumption. These 5 tips highlight the most important factors and provide concrete measures for optimizing your operational energy efficiency.

1. Optimizing lighting: Replacing outdated light bulbs with energy-efficient LED lamps can significantly reduce electricity consumption in the company. With the additional installation of motion sensors, you can save even more by eliminating the need to illuminate unused rooms or areas.

2. Device efficiency: Regularly check the energy consumption of your electronic devices and replace outdated models with more energy-efficient products in good time. Smart metering provides you with ideal support in this regard. Training your employees to use energy consciously and switch off devices when not in use is also a crucial aspect.

3. Air conditioning and heating: Optimized control of room temperature through the use of programmable thermostats makes an important contribution to reducing energy consumption. Encouraging employees to design their workspace with these aspects in mind is also a helpful step.

4. Pump systems and motors: Electric drives, such as pumps or motors, are used in almost all commercial and craft enterprises and cause high electricity costs. Here it is worth investing in modern and infinitely variable electric motors. These always run at optimum speed and therefore consume significantly less electricity.

5. Smart metering: Smart meters enable the detailed tracking of your energy consumption in real time. This gives you a precise overview of your energy consumption and allows you to take targeted measures to reduce consumption.
