Focus on energy efficiency

As part of the introduction of the energy management system ISO 50001, we were looking for an efficient, complete system for recording our electricity consumption, whose data can be accessed quickly and tailored to the responsible person. We found such a system with visual energy and measuring technology from KBR. By using the system, we were able to optimize our processes energetically and sustainably reduce energy consumption.

With KBR's visual energy, we know what's happening in our plants and are notified when things get out of hand!

The software solution visual energy from KBR offers us the opportunity to record and display energy flows and consumption of various media in our company without gaps. As a result, different production processes and states can be analyzed very precisely. Through these analyzes, we are able to uncover potential savings and to continuously improve our energy use.

With visual energy and the measuring devices from KBR, our customers can record, visualize and evaluate all energy flows seamlessly. As an energy supplier, we operate our own cloud with the KBR software, with which we provide our customers with their measured consumption data transparently. By communicating directly with our customers, we achieve a high level of customer loyalty potential, because together we can evaluate the energy flows and find savings potential. We also use the applications to support our customers with the requirements of the energy audits EN 16247 or ISO 50001. KBR is always at your side with its competent developers and friendly support staff.

With visual energy from KBR we have received a multi-faceted software with which all energy flows can be recorded, visualized and evaluated completely. Numerous tools such as the Excel add-in or customizable dashboards adapt the software as tailor-made to the circumstances of each individual company. By dividing the measuring points into cost centers, production processes can be analyzed in detail, which shows potential savings and continuously improves energy-related performance.

With visual energy, we have at our disposal a central tool for cross-plant and multi-site intelligent energy data management. The continuous consistency check and the possibility of intelligent replacement value generation on a meter basis make it possible to provide all energy-relevant data of the company quickly and in high resolution and quality. Through the consistent use of load profile data and the consistent balancing group formation in connection with the possibilities of the flexible workflow technology, we are able to carry out high-quality analyzes and a sustainable reduction of our energy requirement even for complex questions.

We chose the KBR system because it is very user-friendly and allows us to optimally evaluate our various energy and consumption data.

Richter Elektronik GmbH uses visual energy for energy data acquisition and evaluation in its printed circuit board plant. Due to the high level of satisfaction, especially with regard to the service provided by KBR, we have repeatedly expanded the system since its introduction. During a demonstration during an energy audit in our company, the certification body auditor was enthusiastic about the possibilities that visual energy offers in the visualization and recording of non-electrical consumption such as water, gas, heat, cold and compressed air.

From the single metering point to data management, KBR offers a closed system with good service and innovative functions. The Aryzta Bakeries Germany GmbH uses the system u.a. to meet the requirements of ISO 50001. We are in a position to to record all relevant energy flows without gaps. The dashboard feature supports operations management. The personnel costs are minimal with a high information content.

The Mubea Group has been using the KBR system successfully for many years at 43 different locations (not all of which have been expanded yet) in 15 different countries. It makes it easier for us to work as well as to demonstrate potential savings and thus supports us in the requirements of the ISO 50001. We are very satisfied with the possibilities of the flexible system and have not yet reached the limits of the system. The service is fast and efficient and we look forward to good cooperation.

KBR supplies us with measuring devices for recording our energy consumption. On the basis of "visual energy" we can evaluate the measurements as well as formulate key figures and, in addition, group measuring points on energy benefits or cost centers. Orders are delivered quickly, the service staff are friendly and if problems occur quickly.

visual energy shows the energy managers, but also each individual who is significantly involved in energy consumption, a multitude of possibilities to create evaluations of energy consumption, to establish a transparency of energy consumption and thus to uncover energy potentials.

visual energy stellt dem Energiemanager eine Toolbox zur Verfügung mit der er alle seine Anforderungen effizient und effektiv erfüllen kann. visual energy ist ein ganzheitlicher Lösungsansatz im Energiedatenmanagement. visual energy gives energy managers a toolbox which caters to all of their needs efficiently and effectively. visual energy is a holistic approach to energy data management. Software and hardware are ideally matched, making it possible to create or adjust all of the measuring points, evaluations and analyses in next to no time at any time.

Since we started using visual energy we have even greater transparency of our energy consumption and have been able to identify considerable energy-saving potential. The visualization of our energy consumption has enabled us to improve our energy efficiency.

With visual energy we are now able to display the energy consumption of our estate transparently, bill consumers proportional to consumption, and spot anomalies in consumption at an early stage. It has also enabled us to cut our energy costs in the long term. The investment will pay off quickly.

Two people at our plant manage over 800 measuring points for various media using visual energy. The system is clear and intuitive, easy to operate and guarantees a high degree of operational safety and reliability thanks to permanent monitoring. Warnings and alarms are sent by e-mail and inform the user in good time in the event of predefined thresholds being exceeded or fallen short of – helping us to avoid unwelcome surprises due to production stoppages.

For several years we have been using KBR visual energy with conviction to record our energy requirements. Due to the open interfaces in visual energy (OPC, Modbus) the system is very flexible and thus connects to other BMS systems. This enables us to also record non-system data in correlation to energy consumption. Thanks to the web-based user and administration interface in visual energy, proprietary software is no longer required and it is therefore possible to provide relevant data and reports to all areas of the company on a user-specific basis.
