Forecast function isolated in the Energy Management Service

Machine learning-based energy forecasting

The Energy Management Service now includes machine learning-based forecasting, enabling precise predictions and early detection of inefficiencies. A 30-day free trial provides direct access to this feature in a ready-to-use test environment — no commitment, full insight.

Energy data holds untapped potential. The Energy Management Service turns this data into actionable insights, enabling organizations to monitor, analyze and optimize energy consumption. With the newly integrated Forecast function, future energy usage can now be predicted with precision, supporting strategic planning and proactive energy management.

Forecast of Energy Consumption

The team of the Energy Management Service introduces a significant upgrade to its established Energy Management Service: a forecasting function that delivers precise energy consumption predictions using machine learning algorithms.

The Forecast feature, activated via a simple toggle button. It provides users with a visual preview of future energy consumption, displayed in various chart formats. The predictions are based on trained ML models that factor in historical consumption data.

Users can adjust the confidence interval and receive transparent feedback on the prediction quality – enabling informed decisions.

With the forecasting feature, we’re taking our Energy Management Service to the next level of user-centricity. Companies now get not only historical and current data, but also a data-driven look ahead. A clear advantage for continuous improvement and strategic energy planning.

Energy Forecasting as a Strategic Advantage

The new Forecast feature in Phoenix Contact’s Energy Management Service is far more than a technical add-on – it’s a strategic tool for companies aiming to actively shape their energy efficiency and plan their future with intention. In times of rising energy costs, increasing regulatory demands and growing sustainability goals, the ability to forecast energy consumption with precision becomes a critical success factor.

This allows companies to:

  • Early detection of consumption trends
  • Strategic planning reliability
  • Simple activation & intuitive operation
  • Effortless certification
  • Future-ready energy management

In short: the Forecast feature makes energy management not only smarter, but future-ready. It combines technological innovation with practical relevance.

Designed for ISO 50001-Certified Energy Management

The Energy Management Service is specifically designed to support organizations in establishing and maintaining ISO 50001-compliant energy management systems. By providing structured access to consumption data, automated reporting and transparent analytics, the Smart Service lays the foundation for continuous improvement and audit-ready documentation.

The newly integrated Forecast function strengthens this foundation by enabling predictive analysis of energy consumption. Forecasting supports the evaluation of energy performance indicators over time, facilitates proactive planning and ensures that energy targets are met.

Through high data integrity, traceable metrics and customizable dashboards, the Energy Management Service contributes to the systematic approach required by ISO 50001, from identifying significant energy uses to verifying the effectiveness of implemented measures.

This makes the platform a reliable partner for both initial certification and ongoing recertification processes.

Energy Management Service in Detail

Our EMMA Service team has introduced the new type of chart to identify patterns or data with consumption issues. It provides a visual representation of consumption making it easier to identify patters and resolve problems.

The Energy Management Service offers a comprehensive set of capabilities designed to support efficient, transparent and future-oriented energy management. Monitoring across machines, production lines and entire facilities enables a detailed understanding of energy consumption patterns. Interactive dashboards provide intuitive visualizations of energy flows, tailored to specific operational needs. Automated reporting functions eliminate the need for manual spreadsheet work, streamlining documentation and analysis processes.

Application Scenarios

The Energy Management Service is suitable for organizations that:

  • Operate energy-intensive processes and seek efficiency improvements
  • Depend on manual reporting and require automation
  • Need visibility across multiple sites or machines
  • Pursue sustainability goals or regulatory compliance
  • Require early alerts to prevent inefficiencies
  • Plan energy budgets based on reliable forecasts
