Energy monitoring: insight into your energy consumption and potential cost savings
Energy monitoring: insight into your energy consumption and potential cost savings
Gain real-time control over the total energy consumption of your location and the individual installations.

What is energy monitoring?
With energy monitoring from VDS, you gain insight into both total consumption and consumption per device.
We connect with your main meters through the measurement company and install submeters on critical installations, so you can see in real-time where energy is leaking and where you can save.

Main meters
We unlock the energy data collected by your meter company through a secure API connection. We ensure that the daily consumption data is automatically imported into the data platform.

Submeters
Our hardware is connected to the main distributor in your building or factory to measure the energy consumption of specific installations. Measure among other things kWh, kVArh, voltages, and the power factor.

Analyses
Through real-time dashboards, we make energy profiles of your building or factory transparent. Get analyses on peak consumption at the machine level, investigate consumption profiles between your various factories, or compare energy consumption over the years.

Main meters: analyze your total energy consumption
We unlock the energy data collected by your metering company through a secure API connection. Every night, our system automatically retrieves the full daily consumption, including peak and off-peak hours, daily totals, and historical comparisons. This way, you always have up-to-date, reliable data without the need for manual file reading or export-import tasks.

Submeters: measure your energy consumption per device
We install our VDS energy meters on critical installations such as production machines, HVAC systems, and even solar panel installations. This proprietary hardware sends detailed consumption measurements per device to the same dashboard in real time. You can see exactly when a machine peaks, how much energy a cooling system consumes during downtime, and where phantom consumption occurs. Thanks to this combined main and submeter data, you can promptly identify deviations and implement optimizations. This allows you to measure your total energy consumption.

In-depth analysis for smart decisions
A dashboard full of numbers is just the beginning. With our in-depth analyses, we identify peak consumption moments and map out energy use. We connect our data directly to your EMS (Energy Management System) or design a completely new dashboard. Whether it's an industrial estate, office building, or factory, you can immediately see during which hours your consumption increases unnecessarily due to factors like short production stops or recognized anomalies that indicate overdue maintenance. With these insights, you can promptly refine maintenance plans, implement energy-saving measures, or assess the feasibility of expansion.

Inventory
We map your energy flows and determine which measuring points (e.g., total consumption, peak load) are needed for insights into consumption patterns.

Unlocking main meter data
Through a secure API connection, we receive the total consumption data from your measurement company (Kenter, Joulz, Fudura) on a daily basis.

Energy monitoring
All main and submeter data is brought together in one dashboard, with real-time graphs and alerts for peaks, stealth consumption, and maintenance signals. This can be done within your existing EMS system or in a new dashboard.

Rental
Rental companies often lack insight into both historical and future equipment usage. Without a clear view of return moments for, for example, generators or excavators, inventory planning remains largely based on assumptions.

Manufacturing and process industry
In a sector where stagnation directly costs revenue, real-time insight into production is crucial.
Know which machines are operating optimally, where bottlenecks arise, and how shifts relate to each other, so you can always adjust where it matters.
