Data analytics platform installation in Logistics Warehouse
We proposed for installation the powerful Data Analytics Monitoring version of the cloud platform that we offer from our applications pallet for energy management. The warehouses reside at east Europe.

The complete schedule and equipment of the buildings were logged through our audit tool. The main energy consumptions were the lighting load and the charging of the electric forklifts. A correlation model of energy use per day/day-type, week/month and building metadata was developed and a critical result came out for energy saving measures.
Forklifts Charging
Profiling analysis revealed a periodicity of high energy consumptions during afternoon hours. We performed rescheduling of the charging time of the forklifts after 23:00, when the tariff is lower cost. The savings related to this exceeded the 100€ in the first 4 months.
Luminaire replacement
A high night time energy use factor indicated that night perimeter lights have a big impact in overall energy use. Using our intervention calculation tools, a 120KWh Energy Savings per day revealed, when replacing existing luminaires with new high efficiency LED luminaires. Actual savings were measured at 130kwh/day. With the cost at 3.000€, a payback time of 15 months came out. The same action for Interior lights to be replaced with LED, resulted to savings of 350 kWh/day, a cost of 20.000€ and a payback time of 36 months.
