Management systems are essential in business, evident from the documents companies share on their websites, showcasing certifications such as Quality Management System (ISO 9001), Information Security Management System (ISO 27001), Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001), Business Continuity Management System (ISO 22301), etc. These documents, prepared with international standard codes and logos of auditing organizations, serve as the public face of companies, demonstrating that their work is carried out in accordance with international standards, sometimes to prove compliance with legal obligations.

The Energy Management System (EnMS), referred to as ISO 50001 with its main standard and subcategories, is a management system that has emerged with a similar concept. Essentially, it is the documented form of saying, "We track, control, and report our energy consumption within a standard."

Similar to other management systems, the Energy Management System follows a systematic structure called the "PDCA" cycle, where Planning, Doing, Checking, and Acting steps are applied in sequence, bringing together all processes related to energy in our facilities.

The Energy Management System, ISO 50001, like all other management systems, starts with commitment from the top executives of companies, systematically addressing the current situation, making business shares according to the goals set, taking actions or measures based on the defined goals, collecting results, evaluating them, and continuously applying this cycle until it is internalized by each employee and turned into a routine.

While the goal of management systems is continuous monitoring, control, and improvement, in practical applications, apart from audit times that occur once or twice a year, we cannot see a real working systematic. The main reasons for this are that the relevant responsible employees primarily have other duties in different operations, the intensity of their routine tasks, and their duties in management systems essentially remain on paper. There is some validity to these reasons. Not fulfilling the requirements of the job or only meeting them during audit times has a cost in other management systems, but in the case of an Energy Management System, there are heavy costs such as high bills, penalties, and wasted resources every second the system is not in operation. For this reason, ISO 50001 Energy Management System consultants recommend Digital Energy Management Systems that go beyond static monitoring, providing the opportunity to control real-time energy consumption, allowing for instant comparisons with machines themselves or similar machines, departments, floors, sections, and/or other similar facilities, creating limits and alarms that provide a proactive approach, and allowing predictions for machine health, product quality, or energy consumption in the future.


While your factory, office, shopping mall, or hospital employees perform their essential operational activities, Digital Energy Management Systems handle real-time energy management on their behalf. These systems automatically send reports to the top management at hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly, or three-year intervals and detect anomalies if a machine or device has consumed electricity or energy outside the normal operation during the past period, notifying the relevant parties and even shutting down the machine if desired.


Taking a step further, Digital Energy Management Systems:

• Continuously query the tariff for the electricity you purchase, providing suggestions for more cost-effective purchases.

• Control the energy consumption of all the machines and devices in your entire inventory, starting from transformers, and provide warnings and suggestions regarding their efficiency.

• Solve problems such as compensation; identify the machine causing reactive consumption, take preventive measures on the machine long before the panel, and maximize your facility's energy quality.

• Create statistical models with energy consumption, temperature, pressure, etc., and production parameters affecting production, providing benefits to find production parameters that will consume less energy while maintaining the same quality.

• Simultaneously manage renewable energy production systems such as solar power plants on the same platform.

• Manage many applications such as indoor air quality, predictive maintenance, etc., on the same platform.

• Calculate your carbon footprint per product or box, clearly show the energy cost of the order, provide warnings for carbon taxation, and give you a competitive advantage by calculating the energy costs of the product accurately.

We don't know the competitor digital energy management systems, but Lumian Internet of Things Energy Platform is a platform that lightens the load of its users, is open to continuous development, and allows you to quickly develop any application you need on it without writing code. You can track and report all processes related to energy in your facilities through a single software.

We will continue to keep you informed.
