Cold chains, loading doors, conveyor systems and charging infrastructure for industrial trucks – in 24/7 logistics operations, energy costs accumulate around the clock. nrg-manager monitors all consumers automatically, detects peak loads and raises an immediate alarm whenever the cold chain is at risk.
In temperature-controlled logistics centres, refrigeration technology accounts for up to 70 % of electricity consumption. Loading doors and conveyor systems add to the bill as often-overlooked cost drivers.
Figures from projects in logistics centres with 10,000–80,000 m² of warehouse space, temperature-controlled areas and multi-shift operations.
Unlike other sectors, in logistics the demand charge is often a greater lever than the energy unit price. Short peak loads caused by the simultaneous start-up of compressors, conveyor systems and charging infrastructure determine the monthly demand charge – active load management can significantly reduce this component.
28,000 m² deep-freeze warehouse, 3-shift operation, 8.4 million kWh annual consumption – 68 % attributable to refrigeration. No digital instrumentation for refrigeration units, only manual temperature logs. Objective: cost reduction + ISO 50001.
