    VPVision - Energy Monitoring

    Track your factory energy flows in real time with VPVision. This software centralizes monitoring data to help you understand your consumption, identify gaps and guide your improvement efforts. From compressed air to other industrial utilities, VPVision gives you a clear view of your installations to facilitate energy management and better control your costs. The solution can be used continuously as part of ongoing monitoring or occasionally to carry out an audit.

    The importance of energy management

    Better control of energy begins with a good knowledge of its consumption. In a compressed air network, inefficient losses and uses can result in significant costs that often go unnoticed. Energy monitoring makes it possible to track consumption in real time, detect anomalies and target savings opportunities. By having concrete data, your teams can set their priorities, measure the results of their interventions and help improve the energy performance of the entire plant.

    Energy monitoring consists of continuously measuring and analyzing utility consumption within a production site.An energy monitoring system collects real-time data from measuring instruments and transforms it into actionable information.In Industrial environments usually concern:

    • Compressed air

    • Technical gases

    • Electricity

    • Steam

    • Water

    Energy monitoring transforms utilities, which are previously an invisible indirect cost, into a measurable output parameter.

    In many factories, energy is one of the main operating expense items, but it is often mismanaged because it is not visible at the process level.

    Without measure:

    • Leaks are not detected

    • Equipment works inefficiently

    • Problems are only discovered upon receipt of the energy bill

    • Savings projects cannot be verified

    Energy monitoring allows factories to switch from a responsive to proactive mode of operation. Instead of relying on assumptions, you manage consumption based on real data.

    Typical advantages include:

    • Reduced operating costs

    • Increased reliability of systems

    • Stable production processes

    • Support for the Sustainable Development Goals and ISO 50001

    Energy costs are reduced by identifying losses and inefficiencies that typically go unnoticed.


    An energy monitoring system highlights:

    • Basic consumption (often due to leaks or losses in standby mode)

    • Spikes of demand

    • Incorrect use of equipment

    • Process instability

    • Degradation of performance over time


    With real-time information, teams can act immediately instead of waiting for monthly reports.


    Typical savings come from:

    • repair of compressed air leaks

    • Turn-off of inactive equipment

    • Optimization of pressure levels

    • Improved maintenance planning

    • verification of improvement projects

    Most factories find that a significant portion of their energy consumption does not contribute to production. Energy monitoring makes these losses visible and corrects them.

    A comprehensive industrial energy monitoring system simultaneously measures multiple energy flows, as these often influence each other.

    Commonly monitored energy flows:


    Electrical energy


    • Power consumption

    • Load profiles

    • Peak demand


    Compressed air and gas


    • Flow

    • Pressure

    • Temperature

    • Total flow rate


    Thermal energy


    • Steam

    • Hot water

    • Cooling systems


    Water


    • Consumption

    • Detection of leaks

    • Consumption related to processes

    Monitoring multiple fluids on a single platform provides a complete overview of plant efficiency, unlike isolated measurements.

    The reliability of an energy monitoring system depends on the quality of the connected sensors and proper installation.

    Industrial-level monitoring systems use calibrated measuring instruments designed for continuous operation. When properly implemented, they offer sufficient accuracy to:

    • Follow demand trends

    • Detect abnormal uses

    • Verify energy saving projects

    • Support energy management programs

    In practice, consistency and repeatability take precedence over laboratory accuracy. Stable measurement allows you to clearly identify unexpected improvements, deteriorations and changes in your processes.

    A well-designed monitoring system provides reliable data on which you can base your operational and financial decisions.

    Compressed air flow meters

    Take control of your compressed air consumption with our range of flowmeters adapted to the needs of industrial installations of all sizes. Their real-time measurements allow you to better understand air use, identify leak losses, and target improvements that can reduce your energy costs. Discover our measurement solutions and choose the flowmeter that meets the requirements of your application.

    The importance of a compressed air flow meter

    Control your costs and improve the reliability of your installations by tracking your compressed air consumption. Compressed air production represents a significant energy expenditure, which leaks, wear of equipment and system overdimensioning can increase.

    Continuous monitoring helps you identify abnormalities and intervene before they disrupt your activities. Flowmeters make it possible to understand where, when and how much the air is consumed. This allows you to identify the most energy-intensive equipment, identify leakage indices, detect inefficient uses and target maintenance needs.

    Support your decisions on concrete measures to prioritize maintenance, justify your investments and distribute costs according to actual consumption. This gives you the information you need to reduce losses, save energy and adapt your network to your business needs.

    Industrial power meter and ampmeter

    Discover what your factory equipment really consumes thanks to our precise and easy-to-use wattmeters. Whether you work in textiles, glass or food processing and beverages, electrical measurement helps you better understand your energy expenses at every stage of production.

    From compressor to dryer to pumps, track the consumption of your equipment to identify the most energy-intensive stations and identify operating deviations. This data allows you to target improvements, guide maintenance interventions and evaluate the gains achieved.

    Make your electrical measurements a concrete tool to control your costs and improve the performance of your production.

    From three-phase electric meter to portable ampmeter

    The three-phase wattmeter and the VPLog-i/-R meet different electrical measurement needs in an industrial environment.

    Designed for permanent installation, the three-phase wattm measures voltage and current over each of the three phases. It makes it possible to accurately track the electrical consumption of energy-intensive equipment, such as compressors and dryers. Combined with our flowmeters, it helps you connect energy consumed and compressed air flow, in order to better evaluate the performance of your installations and target improvements.

    For one-time measurements, the VPLog-i/-R offers a portable and easy-to-implement solution. Its sensor is installed around the driver to be measured to raise the electric current and facilitate your measurement campaigns on different equipment.

    Measurement of the dew point

    Control moisture in your compressed air or gas network to help protect your equipment and reduce maintenance needs. Continuous dew point monitoring allows you to identify deviations and intervene before condensation compromises the operation of your facilities.

    VPInstruments dew point sensors accurately measure the dew point in your pipes. This gives you reliable data to verify that the conditions meet the thresholds established for your application and evaluate the proper functioning of your drying system.

    Designed to facilitate their installation and use on a daily basis, these sensors help you maintain the quality of compressed air or gas needed for your processes.

    The right meter for each situation

    Choose from two models of dew point sensors according to the requirements of your installation. Thanks to its wide measurement range, the VP dew point sensor meets the needs of many applications, including those using refrigerated or desiccant dryers. For processes requiring extremely dry air, a specialized model makes it possible to measure particularly low dew points.

    These calibrated sensors can be integrated into VPVision or connected to your compressed air or gas management and control system to centralize dew point tracking.
