Ensure Transparency – Increase Energy Efficiency

The first step in becoming energy efficient is to identify energy sources and peaks. At the Schaeffler site in Höchstadt, Germany, the “investigations” have been in full swing for years. The goal was and is to use the gained insights to develop suitable measures that contribute to increasing energy efficiency. To create transparency here, the maintenance team was already using energy measurement systems. However, these did not fully meet expectations and there were still enough blind spots. Therefore, the maintenance team decided to use the Power-Adapt energy monitoring system, which has recently been added to the Schaeffler portfolio. This solution can handle up to six measuring points. The cost-effective Power-Adapt energy monitoring solutionis based on ISO 50001; it measures precisely and is very easy to install.

Conclusion: Thanks to the precise measurements, of the retrofit Power-Adapt energy monitoring solution, it was able easy to identify blind spots and derive appropriate measures.

What’s special

Power-Adapt is very easy to use and integrate. The initial costs are very low. With additional transmitters and sensors, the system can be used for much more than just energy measurement. For example, the pulse-transmitter can be used to convert conventional volume flowmeters (with pulse output) for gas, water, compressed air or steam into communicating measuring devices. Good to know: the solution may be eligible for country-specific government funding. In Germany, for example, the point of contact would be the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA).
