Sometimes it takes a little comparison to uncover areas for improvement. That’s exactly what happened to us after we installed a new photovoltaic system on the roof of our company headquarters. Excited about the potential savings, we didn’t realize something was off until a few months later. During a conversation with our neighbor, we found…

In today’s modern era, maintenance tasks are often carried out according to rigid schedules, regardless of the current condition of the facilities. However, there are already advanced tools in certain specialized areas that focus on condition monitoring or predictive maintenance. These tools utilize data, set values, or threshold values to predict the optimal timing for…
Last week we looked at where the data needed to increase energy efficiency actually comes from. This week we turn our attention to the live monitoring and evaluation of this data. An energy data management system must be able to take in many millions or even billions of data records and make them available for…
In the second part of our mini-series on how to increase your company’s energy efficiency, we dive into where the data needed to increase energy efficiency actually comes from. When implementing energy management processes, our clients always ask where all the data comes from and how it can be collected. From many projects we know…
In view of the current highly volatile and rapidly rising energy and resource prices, most companies are concerned with how they can reduce their energy requirements. The topic of resource efficiency is not new and modern production environments in particular are already optimized for efficiency in terms of energy use. This immediately raises the question…
On Thursday last week, WiriTec User group held their 11th meeting already.

Some of our customers already use very successfully methods of regression analysis on the WiriTec C platform to be able to forecast the expected energy demand. Driven by the initiative of one of our customers, we have significantly extended the scope of these functions to use them for in-depth analyses of the actual energy demand.…
The mobile network 5G is a hot topic right now in the public discourse, including costly auctions and a discussion about whether or not “every backwater needs 5G”. The subject LoRaWAN fades into the background although it could be considered as an alternative. WiriTec GmbH sees potential in the new technology and has been looking into this…
In speedikon® C, it is now possible to work with live data from your facilities. Until now, our clients have been using analyses that where surveyed in certain intervals, hence, the data of the facility was always retrospective. With speedikon® C version 5.1, you can monitor live data from sensors in a chart that is…
Despite smart meters, various bus systems and respective apps, many of our customers are still using measuring technology that requires manual capturing on a regular basis. Subsequently, those data captured is registered on little routing slips. The reasons for this procedure are as manifold as our customers’ individual profiles. Often the amount of work requested…
We are delighted to announce that the success story of our customer Borgers will be published in the ‘IT&Production’ magazine October issue with the title ‘Efficiency Management leading to ISO50.001 Certification’.

The speedikon® C SNMP Monitor monitors all systems, devices and their complete range within the IT infrastructure. All functions are directly available in speedikon® C. This allows complete transparency in your network in terms of location, uptime and load factor. We´ve all been in this situation: All information regarding network and power supply is accessible, communication…
Today´s topic, Batch Management and Optimisation, is actually a logical add-on to one of our blog posts we shared with you a couple of months ago with the title: Energy KPI. Within the Batch Management the focus is set on identifying energy and resource consumptions of individual production steps of a product and how these…
Today’s topic is daily business for a majority of our customers: monitoring measurement and sensor data. Data monitoring is a core task within Energy Data Management. Persons responsible for monitoring consumptions need prompt overviews to respond to abnormal values accordingly. We know, from our experience, that data monitoring in these quantities should be executed automatically…
We want to focus with today’s blogpost on one of many extensive evaluation possibilities within WiriTec® C: the day analysis. Displaying measuring data and consumption data in consecutive periods and time ranges is a typical scenario within professional Energy Management. Thus, evaluations are created with daily, weekly, monthly or yearly periods. Individual consecutive weeks or months…
A while ago we dedicated two separate blog posts to the topic of automatic data collection. Today we want to talk about data collection in combination with our WiriApp. Unlike with many different mobile processes the process of the mobile metre data collection is usually executed when the devices have no online connection. This is…
The ongoing trend towards renewable, volatile energy sources is driving the balance between demand and supply far apart. Periodically an oversupply or shortage of power can occur. The effects are usually seen within the electricity exchange market and the significant price fluctuations. Businesses can profit from these exchange fluctuations which will lead to substantial positive cost…
In todays blog post we would like to introduce you to a new function available within the energy management – the box-whisker-plots. When it comes to analysing performance indicators the often used bar charts and line diagramms are usually not good enough as they cannot properly display the scattering of all the values. The scatterplot…
The measured data has to be analysed thoroughly in order to identify saving potentials or to optimise equipment efficiency. The formula editor available in WiriTec© C is an innovative and very powerful tool for carrying out these tasks. The formula editor is based on a programming language (C #). It can easily be configured by trained users…

Charly had a look at the BIM World in Munich last week with great expectations, since his visit to the GEFMA Future Lab was rather disappointing. His expectations were not met after seeing only a few ‘innovations‘. Also BIM projects with direct connection to CAFM/IWMS – systems were rarely represented. If this is the general…
With our WiriBox® we have developed a universal data logger on a Linux PC basis. It is designed to capture and store any desired meter, sensor, unit or installation data on a long-term basis. Initially created for Energy Management, it has shown great value in other sectors due to the implementation of an InfluxDB (time…
