Energy efficiency monitoring: More sustainability and lower costs

Modern manufacturing requires sophisticated energy efficiency monitoring. Increasing energy costs and high environmental goals require precise consumption data and rapid responses. With Peakboard, you record relevant key figures in real time, take immediate action and thus reduce costs — for more sustainability in your production.

Energy efficiency monitoring dashboard with real-time visualization of energy consumption, performance data and temperature monitoring of individual production areas.

Reduce energy costs in real time — sustainably, reliably, intelligently

Find out where you're losing energy, how Peakboard counteracts this and what measurable benefits your company gets from it.

Challenge

  • Undiscovered load peaks and inefficient processes increase costs.
  • A lack of real-time data makes rapid countermeasures difficult.
  • A lack of transparency leads to high resource consumption.

Solution with Peakboard

  • Real-time monitoring of energy figures directly on the shop floor.
  • Automatic alerts in case of discrepancies and exceedances.
  • Intuitive dashboards for flexible analyses and well-founded decisions.

Result

  • Lower energy costs through targeted process optimization.
  • Improved sustainability and increased competitiveness.
  • Permanent increase in efficiency thanks to historical trend analyses.
Energy efficiency: a must for any modern production

Why energy efficiency monitoring is important in production

High electricity costs and stricter environmental guidelines are increasing pressure on companies to make their production processes more efficient. In addition to immediate cost savings, consistent Energy efficiency monitoringto reduce the environmental footprint and ensure competitiveness.

Make energy consumption transparent
Whether in the process industry, mechanical engineering or food production — anyone who knows where an unnecessary amount of energy is being consumed can take targeted countermeasures. One data-based analysis offers the clear advantage here that optimization potential is objectively comprehensible.

Key role of employees
Only when teams know how machine loads and temperature curves are developing can they intervene quickly. With Peakboard, you can inform everyone involved — from shop floor to management — in real time about current consumption. In this way, everyone gains insight into potential improvements and actively contributes to energy-efficient production.

This is how energy efficiency monitoring works with Peakboard

Data collection & integration
Peakboard connects a wide variety of sources — from industrial controls (Siemens S7, Beckhoff, Mitsubishi Electric) to IoT protocols (OPC UA, MQTT) to cloud services (Azure IoT Hub). This creates a complete picture of your energy consumption.

Configuration & visualization
In Peakboard Designer, you can use a low-code interface to design individual dashboards, define key figures and adapt layouts to your corporate design. All energy consumption data is presented clearly — in real time and regardless of location.

Alarm functions & write-back
Set automatic alerts that immediately trigger a notification when load peaks increase. Employees can react and initiate measures directly on the touch display or tablet. At the same time, all changes in the source systems are updated.

Evaluation & Peakboard Hub
To identify trends and better plan maintenance cycles, the Peakboard Hub stores your energy data permanently and securely. Based on these long-term values, it is possible to analyse exactly whether machines should be serviced early or whether replacement is worthwhile.

Energy at a glance

The most important features of energy efficiency monitoring

  1. Live consumption data
    View current electricity, gas or heat consumption directly on interactive dashboards and ensure that no bottlenecks or fluctuations go unnoticed.
  2. Peak load analysis
    Set limits for the maximum load and be automatically warned when they are exceeded. This allows you to react immediately to unusually high energy requirements.
  3. Calculation of energy costs
    Link metrics with price information to determine on a daily basis how high your running costs are per production shift or per product batch.
  4. Detailed history
    Store energy figures in the Peakboard Hub and analyze them over longer periods of time. Based on this data, you will plan targeted measures to reduce consumption peaks and malfunctions.
  5. Interactive dashboards
    Employees can operate with touch screens or tablets, adjust load values or enter shift consumption. These adjustments are automatically transferred back to your data sources.

Energy efficiency monitoring with Peakboard — your benefits

With Peakboard, you get a comprehensive platform that includes your Energy efficiency monitoring permanently improved and set your company on a sustainable path of success. Instead of complex IT projects, you benefit from quick start-up and intuitive dashboards that inform all relevant stakeholders in real time.

  • Holistic overview: All energy consumption data in one place
  • Proactive fault detection: Early warning system for unusual load peaks
  • Transparent communication: Employees immediately recognize where energy can be saved
  • Easy scalability: Suitable for individual plants as well as for international production networks
  • Long-term cost reduction: Through targeted process optimization and reduced downtime

If you want to reduce costs, reduce the burden on the environment and optimize production processes at the same time, you need a powerful Energy efficiency monitoring. With Peakboard, you rely on real-time data, automated alerts and interactive dashboards — for greater profitability and a smaller CO₂ footprint.
