Energy management system
Would you like to set up reliable indicators that are relevant to your business, so that you can report on your energy performance? Are you looking for better visibility on the impact of your decarbonization actions, and to understand the origin of any deviations? Have you invested in monitoring, but don't know how to interpret your energy data?
As specialists in industrial energy management, we can help you manage your energy performance with ZEST, our energy monitoring platform.
Metrology for a low-carbon industry
Thanks to our expertise in industrial metrology, we can use energy data to accurately assess your performance.
Optimized energy metering plan
Setting up a metering plan is essential for energy management in industry. We work with your teams to ensure that metrology is adapted to your needs, by identifying the sensors required, the data to be collected, and the indicators to be calculated.
Our methodology
We optimize your metering plan, for both utilities and processes. This comprehensive energy metering plan provides all the data needed to set up an effective energy monitoring tool, and may be eligible for an Energy Savings Certificate (E.S.C.) bonus in accordance with the criteria of standard operation IND-UT-134: Energy performance indicator metering system.
Relevant energy performance indicators
We work with you to define key energy performance indicators (KPIs), offering a tailor-made solution for monitoring and controlling energy consumption.
What are KPIs?
An energy performance indicator (EPI) is a ratio that makes it possible to compare and monitor over time the performance of the energy uses to which it is associated.
-
Compare the actual performance of your industrial site with a target value.
-
Highlight the real efforts and gains made after implementing energy-saving actions.
-
Be alerted in case of consumption drift and react quickly.
-
Manage your production by prioritizing more efficient lines or equipment.

Customized dashboards
We consolidate the indicators in our energy monitoring software, the ZEST platform. We design dashboards tailored to your needs, providing a detailed breakdown of consumption and energy performance indicators for each item.
We work with you to establish the performance targets associated with the indicators, for a clear and concise view of your progress.
ZEST energy management software
All energy management software must integrate seamlessly with your plant systems. Your industrial data is precious, which is why we handle it in a scalable, non-intrusive system.
Secure data processing
We work with your IT departments to define a secure, interoperable architecture, with outbound data flow only (no incoming APIs on your system).
Our energy consumption tracking application, hosted in France on a dedicated Azure cloud, ensures data collection, storage and security, in line with IT best practices.
Verified data quality
To guarantee the quality of the data processed by our energy management software, we put in place processes to verify and correct any deviations.
Notifications of anomalies, on-site interventions and exclusion of erroneous data ensure the integrity of our analyses.
Customized energy management solution
The ZEST platform, our energy management solution, offers an integral approach to achieving your decarbonization objectives.
Effective energy management requires time, resources and specialized skills. As part of our ISO 50001-compliant approach, we tailor our support to your needs and the availability and skills of your teams.
More than just energy monitoring software, the ZEST platform provides a link with our team of energy efficiency experts and supports your energy management system.
By continuously monitoring your performance, our teams bring a fresh perspective to your energy consumption, provide event analysis services, and help you anticipate regulatory changes.
Check that you're achieving your objectives
Our energy management solution is based on your specific performance indicators. We work with you to set targets for your main areas of optimization: heel reduction, waste heat recovery, performance commitments, etc.
Identify energy-hungry items and drifts
Thanks to our energy monitoring solution, we can provide you with invaluable assistance in interpreting indicators, like a continuous energy audit. We analyze deviations and work with your teams to identify problems, take swift action and achieve your objectives.
Manage your action plans
Together with your teams, we draw up an updated action plan to identify savings, update and disseminate results, and take effective corrective measures.
Our experts monitor your industry's energy consumption to validate the impact of the actions implemented, quantify the gains and identify eligible funding for investment actions.
Communicate and replicate best practices
In an industrial group, each decision-making level needs to visualize and communicate relevant data. According to the EN 17267 measurement and verification standard, a dashboard must meet the needs of different users:
- For group industrial management: Mobilize teams to monitor sites' financial and CSR performance, compare energy consumption and GHG emissions, and achieve energy targets.
- For site energy management teams - Monitor objectives, quantify levers for action and continuously optimize the energy management system to meet targets.
- For operating and maintenance personnel - Monitor the energy performance of the facility, gain in proactivity by detecting drifts, and ensure corrective and preventive maintenance to meet performance commitments.
We offer support packages tailored to each of these needs. This global view enables sites to highlight the results of actions undertaken, and management to identify and replicate best practices across several sites.
For actions requiring investment, our energy efficiency consultants offer study and financing.
Case studies
Multi-site energy monitoring: optimizing energy costs
We optimized the energy management of a chocolate company by centralizing data from all its sites, facilitating exchanges within the group and reducing the electricity bill by an average of 11% per site. These energy-saving measures generated annual savings of up to €70,000 at certain sites.
Energy monitoring of compressed air consumption
We optimized the energy management of a brewery, reducing its expenses by 20% thanks to precise monitoring and efficiency improvements, including the detection and correction of major leaks.
