Proven IIoT Use Cases for Energy Monitoring

Industrial IoT is revolutionizing Energy Monitoring. Do you want to boost your energy efficiency but aren’t sure where to start? Our platform provides proven, practical solutions – potentially even approaches that your competitors have already successfully implemented.

Self-Consumption Optimization

Companies with photovoltaic systems use IoT-powered solutions to make the most of their self-generated energy. Excess energy is strategically stored or used for electric vehicles instead of being fed back into the grid. This saves them costs and maximizes their energy efficiency.

Peak Load Management – Peak Shaving

IoT systems detect peak loads and compensate for them using batteries or alternative energy sources. This prevents high grid loads, avoids peak load tariffs and saves energy costs in the long term.

Smart Time Scheduling (Time-of-Use)

By analyzing electricity tariffs and real-time prices, companies shift energy-intensive processes to cheaper time slots. This significantly reduces energy costs and optimizes utilization.

Leak Detection: Compressed Air, Water, Gas

Sensors monitor critical systems and detect leaks automatically. This enables fast repairs, reduces energy losses and improves the efficiency of production systems.

Smart Procurement & Hedging

With data-driven forecasts, companies in our network can make proactive purchasing decisions—whether through short-term spot market purchases or long-term PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements). A flexible strategy helps reduce costs and minimize risks.

Demand Prediction & Production Planning

IoT sensors and AI-supported algorithms from our network enable precise prediction of energy requirements. This enables smart production planning, in which energy-intensive processes are postponed to times when electricity prices are low.

Energy Cost Optimization per Machine

Companies use IoT-supported systems to make the best possible use of their self-generated energy. Excess energy is strategically stored or used for electric vehicles instead of being fed back into the grid. This saves them costs and maximizes their energy efficiency.

Cross-Location Comparison

Energy Monitoring systems enable the comparison of energy consumption across multiple sites. This creates transparency and facilitates the implementation of best practices for maximum efficiency.

Flexibility Marketing on the Energy Market

Companies can sell surplus or unused energy to the balancing energy market. IoT platforms from our network help to control this in real time and monetize it in the best possible way.

Our partners with tried-and-tested IoT/IIoT solutions

Providers from our network whose IoT and IIoT solutions have been tried and tested in practice.

How can you successfully implement your Energy Monitoring project with IIoT?

Do you want to optimize your energy consumption using Industrial IoT data or have you already taken the first steps? But now you’re faced with a variety of solutions and providers, and you’re looking for a clear path to effectively leverage existing data and knowledge?

Efficient Energy Monitoring requires a precise interplay of modern sensors, networked data integration and smart analysis – tailored to your individual goals and requirements.

Data Acquisition

The basis of every IoT and IIoT project lies in data acquisition and pre-processing (EDGE). The data from the field and control level can be transmitted either directly by wire or wirelessly. Operational parameters such as temperature, pressure, force, or production data in real time are captured – and made available for any use case.

Data Transmission

A seamless transfer of captured data is essential. Many companies combine wireless and wired solutions depending on the use case – for secure data transmission to the cloud or locally. Suitable networks for distance, data load and environments as well as high security standards are crucial in order to avoid downtimes.

Device Management

Efficient device management for IIoT devices enables companies in our community to centrally manage the entire life cycle, including automated updates and certificate management. Our partners are working on solutions to reduce operating costs through automation, minimize downtimes and achieve high efficiency through scalable solutions and optimized interfaces.

Data Integration

Data only becomes valuable when it is seamlessly integrated into existing IT and OT systems. A strong connection between machine level, MES, ERP systems and other business solutions enables efficient processes and consolidated insights. Keywords: Data Warehousing, Data Lake and Database (storage)

Data Standard (Communication)

Many companies do not have standardized access to machine and device data right through to their IT systems. Standards such as OPC UA, LoRaWAN and mioty enable seamless integration from the edge to the cloud. OPC UA, for example, connects OT and IT by transferring data via edge gateways to cloud services such as Azure Event Hubs or Kafka and tools such as Grafana or Power BI. Our partners ensure that these standards can be used efficiently.

Data Standard (Master Data)

Master data for products and services is often not uniformly classified and is available in data silos. When implementing use cases such as traceability, digital type plates, the digital product passport (DPP) or the product carbon footprint, this leads to high costs in data engineering due to duplication of work and inefficient processing. Uniform data formats, standardized product descriptions and technical concepts such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) are therefore crucial.

Data Visualization

The visualization of IoT data makes it possible to display complex information such as alarm trends, golden batch or process dashboards in intuitive reports. Customizable dashboards on standard tools help to analyze real-time data, identify trends and make informed decisions. Low-code solutions are also available.

Data Analysis and Evaluation

IoT/IIoT data analysis provides real-time insights into processes through, for example, data event-driven apps, real-time analytics, and root cause analytics. Tools such as MVDA, OEE, process KPIs and Predictive Maintenance can be used to identify anomalies and optimize processes. Low-code solutions also facilitate rapid implementation.

Data Security

Protection against unauthorized access, theft or manipulation is an issue for every company in our network. Our partners are working on solutions for the optimal use of digital identities and encryption technologies for secure access and communication of your devices, machines and systems.

Services

The services of our partners support companies from our network in the implementation and optimization of IoT solutions. This includes consulting, individual customization, training and technical support. The aim is to make processes more efficient, integrate systems seamlessly and derive maximum benefit from IoT/IIoT data.

Promoting Sustainability and Environmental Awareness

By monitoring energy flows and detecting waste, IoT solutions contribute to a significant reduction in energy consumption. This supports your ESG goals and strengthens your position as an environmentally conscious company.

Efficient Peak Load Management

Avoid expensive peak loads with smart IoT technologies that balance out excess energy from storage or alternative sources. This allows you to reduce grid loads and cut your energy costs in the long term.

Optimized Utilization of Energy Sources

With features like time-of-use optimization, energy-intensive processes can be shifted to time slots with lower electricity rates. This saves costs and improves the planning of your operations.

Proactive Maintenance and Leak Detection

IoT sensors detect leaks in compressed air, water, or gas systems at an early stage. This enables immediate action, reduces losses, and enhances the operational safety of your systems.

Flexibility for self-consumption optimization

With zero feed-in features, you can optimize renewable energy sources like photovoltaic systems by storing excess energy in battery storage or other consumers within the microgrid. This increases energy autonomy and reduces external energy costs.
