When energy management systems fail

10.7.2020

Who hasn't seen this happen? Energy management systems are planned by electrical engineers, installed by the electrical contractor, and then the plant manager or person in charge is completely overwhelmed by the system. They can only communicate with the suppliers, but useful information is difficult for them to decipher. This is often even more dramatic the less familiar they are with the management system. Control systems are often planned at a time when the system is not yet in operation. Over time, the requirements for the control system change, and the system is not dynamic and flexible enough to meet the new requirements.

Nevertheless, control systems do of course offer advantages. As part of building management, they are well suited for regulating and controlling systems. They also function as an important component of infrastructure and support the optimization of operational processes. Unfortunately, large companies dominate the market for energy control systems, which limits flexibility of use due to standardized products.

As an owner, user, or planner, it is important for you that the energy measurement and control system is designed to be flexible so that it can also meet future requirements. If a proprietary control system that is difficult to expand is chosen during the planning phase, facility management will not be able to adapt the system to new technologies and will be limited in its ability to optimize its processes in subsequent years. This plays an immensely important role at the technology level in particular, as technical change is advancing unabated and at an ever-increasing pace.

To keep pace with the times, an energy management system must be expandable and adaptable. The basis for this is an open and flexibly modulable platform. At CLEMAP, we value system interoperability. On the one hand, downstream from our cloud, where we provide an API interface for integrating our analyses into your processes. On the other hand, upstream, by offering intelligent and automated analyses and alerts based on pre-installed measuring points and control systems. Our smart CLEMAP Energy Monitor sensor CLEMAP Energy Monitor the ideal solution for your SME. With this energy meter in combination with the powerful CLEMAP Cloud, you are fully equipped to meet the challenges of future technologies. Thanks to the flexibility of our products, we are able to support you in each of your projects.
