.. ESG and energy management are essential for modern businesses, as they not only ensure compliance with regulatory standards but also enhance corporate reputation, attract investment, and drive long-term sustainability.. One of the key challenges for companies when preparing the ESG reporting, particularly in the environmental domain, is [...]
.. The Challenge of Industry 5.0 The Industry 5.0 transition plan emphasizes the need for companies to embrace both digitalization and energy efficiency. This means monitoring energy consumption to streamline production and measure the savings achieved through digital technologies. The Importance of Measurement The success of an Industry [...]
.. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the gold standard for measuring machine performance in manufacturing. It considers availability, performance, and quality defects to provide a holistic picture of how effectively your equipment is producing good parts. But what if there was a hidden layer to OEE, a way [...]
.. Businesses are constantly seeking ways to reduce their environmental impact and lower their operating costs. Lighting, often ranging from 20% to 40% of the total energy bill in commercial and industrial buildings, offers a substantial opportunity for energy savings and cost optimization. Implementing effective lighting energy monitoring [...]
. The integration of renewable energy sources and storage in buildings and the distribution grid creates a need for sophisticated control and monitoring systems to ensure efficient energy management and grid stability. These systems provide real-time data and decision-making capabilities that empower building owners and operators to optimize [...]
The revised Energy Efficiency Directive The revised Energy Efficiency Directive, including the new binding target, entered into force in all EU countries on 10 October 2023. It establishes ‘energy efficiency first’ as a fundamental principle of EU energy policy. In practical terms, this means that energy efficiency must be [...]
Energy Saving Technology Seminar 📢 We are excited to announce that Electrex will be presenting the energy management solutions at the Energy Saving Technology Seminar, hosted by our local partner ATC Automation at the Digital Manufacturing Ireland facility in 📍 Limerick, Ireland. 📅 The seminar will be taking place [...]
End-use Electrification Electrification means replacing technologies or processes that use fossil fuels, like internal combustion engines and gas boilers, with electrically-powered equivalents, such as electric vehicles or heat pumps. This shift is driven by the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and promote the use of [...]
INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX ONES The effects of Power Quality on LED lighting performance generally receive little attention prior to installation. Power quality issues such as dips, harmonics, interruptions, can result in expensive, early replacement of damaged or failed LED lighting equipment. As a result end-users are forced [...]
Continuous measurement and monitoring of reactive power are necessary to determine the correct compensation system and to monitor it to ensure that it is providing the required level of compensation. This helps to reduce energy costs, maintain power quality, and improve the efficiency of electrical systems. What is reactive [...]
