<\/h1>\n

Reducing energy costs and running operations efficiently are key challenges for manufacturers. In factories with heavy power consumption in particular, energy management translates directly into cost savings. As a result, many companies are considering adopting a FEMS (Factory Energy Management System). In this article, we introduce how Customer A achieved successful energy savings with EnergyQ.<\/p>\n

What Is EnergyQ?<\/h2>\n

Thingplus\u00ae EnergyQ is a service that helps factories reduce energy costs, improve efficiency, and practice sustainable management through electrical energy consumption monitoring and power quality management.<\/p>\n

Key Features<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Real-time monitoring: Check the power usage of various facilities across the factory in real time<\/p>\n

\u2013 Data analysis and anomaly alerts: Detect sources of wasted power early and support peak management<\/p>\n

\u2013 PQM (Power Quality Management) capability: Maximize equipment efficiency through power quality analysis<\/p>\n

\u2013 Automatic power quality reports (EN50160): Regularly inspect the quality of electrical equipment and correct issues<\/p>\n

\n

EN50160 is a European standard (EN, European Norm) that defines the quality of supplied power.<\/p>\n

The standard specifies quality requirements for voltage, frequency, harmonics, momentary interruptions, and more from power suppliers, so that users’ electrical equipment can operate reliably.\u200b<\/p>\n

EnergyQ’s automatic EN50160 power quality reporting evaluates whether the power used in the factory complies with this standard and enables a rapid response when problems occur.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Through these capabilities, EnergyQ contributes to cost reduction, regulatory compliance, and ESG management at the factory while supporting the optimization of energy use.<\/p>\n

Why Customer A Adopted EnergyQ<\/h2>\n

Customer A is a manufacturer operating four factory buildings and numerous outdoor facilities, with some equipment running 24 hours a day. Its average monthly electricity bill reached roughly KRW 80 million, and during power peaks costs climbed past KRW 100 million.

Adoption Goals<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Establish measures to cut costs during power peaks<\/p>\n

\u2013 Improve efficiency through systematic monitoring of electricity consumption<\/p>\n

\u2013 Build an optimal operating strategy through per-equipment power usage analysis<\/p>\n

\u200bThe EnergyQ Deployment Process<\/h2>\n

1. Installing Power Meters<\/h3>\n

We analyzed the metering points and deployed power quality meters (PQM), power meters (PM), and the supporting network.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Meters installed on switchgear and distribution panels, outdoor air handlers, scrubbers, dust collectors, compressors, and more across the factory<\/p>\n

\u2013 Wireless communication environment built so the power usage of key equipment can be collected and analyzed in real time<\/p>\n

2. Real-Time Energy Monitoring<\/h3>\n

A real-time monitoring system was applied so the factory’s energy usage could be seen at a glance.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Energy usage visible at a glance for the entire factory, individual equipment, and equipment groups<\/p>\n

\u2013 Early identification of and response to energy waste through anomaly detection<\/p>\n

3. Peak Demand Response and Optimization<\/h3>\n

Appropriate responses to power peaks were put in place to maximize energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Alerts issued when power peaks occur so energy-saving measures can be carried out<\/p>\n

\u2013 Per-equipment power consumption patterns analyzed to raise operational efficiency<\/p>\n

Results<\/h2>\n

After adopting EnergyQ, Customer A achieved the following outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u200bLower Upfront Investment<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Initial deployment costs minimized through a subscription-based SaaS (Software as a Service) model<\/p>\n

\u200bStronger Peak Demand Response<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Power usage during peak hours forecast in advance, with operating practices introduced to reduce unnecessary consumption<\/p>\n

\u200bCost Savings Through Power Usage Analysis<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Waste eliminated through continuous monitoring of power usage by group<\/p>\n

\u2013 Monthly electricity costs reduced by improving inefficient equipment operation<\/p>\n

Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n

Factory energy management plays an important role not only in cutting costs but also in protecting the environment, sustaining responsible management, and improving productivity. By adopting EnergyQ, Customer A achieved its three goals: lower power costs, stronger peak management, and higher energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing more manufacturers use EnergyQ to realize efficient energy management and build their own smart factories.\u200b<\/p>\n
