Energy consumption and CO₂ reduction have long become strategic factors in industrial value creation.Companies invest in photovoltaics, energy storage systems, more efficient equipment, or heat recovery systems. Nevertheless, one central question often remains unanswered:Wie wirken sich diese Maßnahmen konkret auf die Produktionsplanung und deren Wirtschaftlichkeit aus?Without systematic integration into detailed scheduling, energy potential often remains untapped. The Energy Consumption Monitor creates transparency and makes energy costs a controllable variable within your production planning.

The following energy factors are systematically taken into account:


Spot market and tariff prices

Energy prices from spot markets or contractual tariff models are incorporated into planning on a time‑dependent basis.

Own energy generation

Available energy from photovoltaics, combined heat and power plants, or other sources is taken into account in production planning.

Energy storage systems

Available energy from battery storage systems or other energy systems is specifically utilized for load optimization.

Energy becomes an active control factor

Many companies aim to reduce energy costs through peak shifting – by deliberately shifting energy‑intensive processes into cost‑efficient or grid‑relieving time windows.The MCP Energy Consumption Monitor makes these potentials transparent and quantifiable.In combination with the MCP prioritization logic, different scenarios can be simulated and compared. Production planning then considers not only schedules and capacities, but also energy prices, availability of self‑generated power, and peak loads.This creates an integrated optimization logic that simultaneously manages economic and ecological objectives.
The Energy Consumption Monitor enables:
  • Transparency on energy‑related production costs per order
  • Simulation of price and load scenarios
  • Active peak shifting within defined constraints
  • Prioritization of self‑generated energy usage
  • Reduction of peak loads and grid fees
  • Measurable reduction in energy‑related production costs
Production planning thus becomes an instrument of energy and cost strategy.

Use energy as a competitive economic advantage

In a structured potential analysis, we assess how strongly energy costs influence your production planning and what optimization potential can realistically be achieved through integrating the Energy Consumption Monitor.
You will receive a well‑founded assessment of cost effects, scenario capability, and implementation effort – tailored to your energy and production structure.
