Mercedes-Benz has been using EnEffCo® in Berlin-Marienfelde since 2014 and worldwide for Cars & Vans since 2018. As an application partner in the EnEffReg® research and development project, Mercedes-Benz tested the automated control and regulation of plants to maintain and increase energy efficiency.
The Challenge
The Mercedes-Benz production site Berlin Marienfelde (engines) was looking for a software that would allow it to improve both the transparency of utility consumption and also data quality, as well as identifying savings potential. A further requirement was for the software to integrate well with existing systems.
The Solution
EnEffCo® enables the monitoring and the analysis of systems in the areas of production, cooling, ventilation, compressed air and heat.
Visualization of time series, traffic lights in diagrams and dashboards, as well as report generation.
Integration of existing systems, including BMS from Honeywell.
Additional monthly costs can be avoided by system monitoring (identification of worsened system operation after maintenance).
Additional savings by optimizing cooling supply, using free cooling and pump regulation.
Energy management and energy efficiency: KPIs allow transparency for all utility consumption. Monitoring, analysis and enchmarking increase the efficiency of machines, systems and processes.
Savings: Optimized energy usage and documentation of savings; reduced operational expenses in generating reports, analyses, etc.
Management & Compliance: Integrated solution for heterogenous data sources, assurance of ompliance with the ISO 50001 standard and other requirements.
Sustainability: Transparent KPIs related to energy use and precise data for reports
