Two Approaches to Modern Energy Management

Compare two practical ways to manage your company’s energy data. Learn how cloud-based and on-premise solutions each support transparency, ISO 50001 compliance, and secure operations — and which setup best fits your infrastructure.

Energy management is increasingly becoming a central part of industrial optimization strategies. Phoenix Contact’s Energy Management Services provide two approaches to meet different operational and compliance needs: a cloud-based solution on Proficloud.io and an on-premise variant for local infrastructures.

The cloud service is designed for companies operating across multiple sites that need centralized data analysis and minimal IT maintenance. It allows users to visualize and compare energy data in real time, supporting ISO 50001 certification and efficient load management.

In contrast, the on-premise version addresses organizations with strict data protection or limited internet connectivity. Operating entirely within the company’s own IT environment, it enables ISO-compliant reporting and direct integration with existing automation systems.

Both solutions pursue the same objective: to make energy data transparent, secure, and actionable — regardless of infrastructure.
