An important element of making an industrial organization more efficient is managing energy consumption. A great way to do this is to use smart energy metering. Real-time power measurement monitors the amount of electricity consumed by a residence, business, or electrical device. Electricity meters are typically calibrated in billing units. Periodic readings of electric meters measure your energy use, which the electric company then uses for billing. Any company or organization that wants to run its operation more efficiently needs accurate data about its energy use. Real-time energy measurement informs companies of their immediate energy consumption. Smart energy metering and monitoring in real-time is crucial to take control of the three main factors that contribute to energy cost source of the energy, the amount of energy used, and the efficiency of your energy use. By installing a power meter for real-time monitoring, any energy product with a measurement interface can be tracked.

ICIS Plant Energy provides a unique and unrivaled offering in its approach to Energy Management and Sustainability. Allowing users to utilize real and virtual metering technology while leveraging their automation infrastructure offers not only the most flexible method of metering and analysis on the market today but also the most cost-effective one. A Virtual Meter can be considered as the conversion of a process control device's characteristics into an Energy Consumption value in real-time using the design characteristics of the device. Without the need of adding a new hard meter ICIS can map the energy usage of devices virtually and allow a user to build a complete understanding of energy flow throughout their facility. With this method of leveraging the automation systems control data ICIS enables the building of Virtual Energy maps for a facility without the need for any new metering hardware or downtime.
