An industry configuration of Smart EMS
Operating challenges
Scepi Smart EMS connects a manufacturing plant's main meters, submeters, machine states and production data. This makes idle losses, major equipment loads and the measurable results of interventions visible.
Operating context
Energy and cost indicators by machine, shift and product group.
Events and comparisons
Analysis of simultaneous machine starts and demand peaks.
Scoped integration
Implementing an approved load sequence and local override as part of an Autopilot project.
From data to a decision
Measure the right things
Compare like-for-like operating periods and investigate changes before attributing them to an energy action.

The shared platform
A shared view of operations
Smart EMS brings accessible meter and operating data together. Monitor provides visibility; Executive supports analysis and reporting; Autopilot adds approved control. Interfaces, alerts, retention and integrations are scoped for the site.

| Assumption | Annual net benefit |
|---|---|
| Half the entered rate | 1,201,000 HUF |
| The entered rate | 2,701,000 HUF |
| 1.5 times the entered rate | 4,201,000 HUF |
Uses 50%, 100% and 150% of the entered energy and water saving rates, capped at 100% savings. A sensitivity analysis, not a forecast.
How is this calculated?
Annual net benefit = energy cost × energy saving rate + water cost × water saving rate − annual licence − other annual costs. Payback = one-off investment / annual net benefit. First-year ROI = (annual net benefit − one-off investment) / one-off investment × 100%.
The model assumes constant annual costs and savings. It excludes financing, tax, inflation, discounting and residual value. Measurement supports decisions; savings require validated actions and follow-up measurement. Food safety, process and operational limits take priority.

What must be measured
Verified reductions in idling and unnecessary running time. Documented tariff or demand-charge benefits where the contract allows them.
The calculator includes only the energy and water cost buckets entered above. Capacity, avoided damage and other value must be evaluated separately from evidence.
Implementation
Start with a defined measurement scope.
We define the decision to support, the data needed and the operating limits before implementing the integration.
- A meter and machine list, with accessible data connections.
- Production volumes, product mix and shift patterns for normalised comparisons.
- Approved operating limits for any intervention.
Survey and scope
Meter list, interfaces, responsibilities and a comparable baseline.
Connect and verify
Connect the required data, test timestamps, gaps and alerts.
Act and measure again
Approve any control rules, test fallback and manual override, then measure results against the agreed baseline.
Frequently asked questions
Questions worth clarifying.
Which equipment should be submetered first?
Start with major loads, equipment that runs continuously or consumption that is difficult to explain. This might include a compressor, refrigeration system or production line. The measurement plan is based on the information needed for business decisions and the available data connections.
Can energy consumption be compared between two shifts?
Yes, if production volumes, product mix, running time and relevant operating conditions are known alongside energy use. Without these, a difference does not necessarily indicate waste.
Does monitoring automatically reduce consumption?
Monitoring helps identify losses and opportunities for action. Savings come from measures that are actually implemented, and their results need to be verified using comparable before-and-after data.
What does the annual licence include?
Monitor, Executive and Autopilot are annual per-site software licences. Meters, hardware, integration, implementation, operations and optional modules are separately scoped and priced. The calculator uses the published licence prices and editable project budgets.
