Energy Management System in beverage industry

Pivovarna Laško, a brewery company, started thinking about introducing an energy management system when energy prices started drastically surging in Slovenia. A pre-investment study ncompassed a description and documentation of the existing condition and the proposed solution for the electric energy and all other energy sources (gas, steam, compressed air, technological water, CO2, cooling). The significant investment, which amounted to about 250,000 euro raised some understandable doubts about the financial justification of the project and Pivovarna Laško started with an active compressed air monitoring as a test. The success of it lead to the implementation the entire GemaLogic energy management information system.
