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?

Energy monitoring gives you insights into your energy consumption on two levels. First, using main meters we measure the total energy usage of your building or production site. Thanks to a direct API connection with your metering provider (think Joulz, Kenter, or Fudura), daily consumption data is made automatically available to you. This way, you can see at a glance how your overall usage develops. No manual requests or Excel hassles required.

Additionally, we install submeters on critical equipment, from heavy production machinery and refrigeration systems to your boiler and air-handling units. With our own metering hardware, installed by your in‑house technical team or our technicians, you can visualize individual energy profiles for each device. This lets you identify which installation is consuming the most power, detect any phantom loads during downtime, and maintain full control over your energy management.

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

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

We place our VDS energy meters on critical installations, such as production machines, HVAC systems, and even solar panel installations. This proprietary hardware sends detailed consumption readings 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 primary and submeter data, you can immediately identify deviations, schedule maintenance, and target savings.

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 the energy consumption. Whether it's an industrial estate, office building, or factory, you can immediately see during which hours your consumption unnecessarily increases due to, for example, short production stops, or recognized deviations that indicate overdue maintenance. With these insights, you can immediately refine maintenance plans, implement energy-saving measures, or see if expansion is feasible.

Step-by-step plan for the implementation of Energy Monitoring

Inventory

We map your energy flows and determine which measurement points (e.g., total consumption, peak load) are necessary for insight 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.
