inGenious Flex – industrial energy flexibility

Using demand response, the use of production devices is optimized to reduce energy costs without sacrificing productivity. Each load and any potential sources of generation are treated as separate users in the system. Mutual adjustment of devices in separate processes allows energy consumption to be optimized based on all available information and using potential flexibility that is sometimes not obvious at first glance.

Predictable costs in unpredictable times

Multi-tariff and dynamic tariff systems dictate changes in energy prices multiple times within the same work cycle. Without a smart management system, the electricity bill would be left to chance. The inGenious Flex system schedules energy consumption based on price criteria so that the business process runs smoothly, energy consumption is predictable, and savings are generated passively.

Complete control without manual management

Based on user restrictions, which are conditioned by working hours, productivity, and specifics of each production process, the system creates an operating schedule for each device. During the automatic execution of the created schedule, the human supervisor is continuously informed and can monitor all energy flows and devices. This way, they can take control of the operation at any time and manually make adjustments, which the rest of the system then takes into account.

The inGenious product group also includes:
