Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design TechnologyThe manufacturing sector accounts for more than 40 percent of the energy used by the German economy. Rising energy prices, ecological aspects, security of supply and the integration of renewable energies into the power grid are increasing the importance of systematic energy management.
Industrial Energy Management in the Internet of Things (IoT)
Energy monitoring
Advantages of energy management software
Together with CONTACT Software GmbH, we are developing approaches to integrate industrial energy management into the existing IoT platform CONTACT Elements for IoT. Combining systematic energy recording and digital twins enables efficiency measures to be dovetailed with holistic digitization.
What's the benefit for industry?
When driving innovation in the field of digitization of industrial processes and systems, the methods and procedures developed by Fraunhofer IPK can be used to holistically integrate monitoring and optimization of energy consumption.
