deZem system as an information base for specialised contractors

A contracting provider uses the deZem system for the technical supervision and energy management of 300 logistics centres as well as for other successful contracting projects.

Within the scope of a contract covering several decades, deZem acts "in the background" as a full service provider for data acquisition and processing, i.e. for installation, system setup and full maintenance of the software and hardware. The system was fully rolled out in 2013 within a few months, well below the promised time, and has been running without problems in close cooperation with the contractor ever since.

Project goals

  • Continuous real-time monitoring of central heating systems and power supply
  • Complete turnkey IT solution
  • Visualisation and analysis tools as a basis for optimisation measures
  • Benchmarking between locations
  • Proof of continuous efficiency gains
  • Alarm in case of malfunctions
  • Dynamic further development of the system with additional locations, meter exchange, etc.
  • Clear division of tasks: deZem supplies IT tools, contractor evaluates and optimises
