Dynamic demand management for the metal industry

Optimize heat treatment, reduce electricity costs, and effectively utilize funding.

Energy-intensive processes in heat treatment

Efficiently solving challenges in casting, hardening, and tempering

The metal processing industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors. Especially in heat treatment, during casting, hardening, nitriding, or bluing, high power peaks regularly occur – a central cost driver in electricity procurement. Whether tools, machine parts, or molds: every component processed in furnaces, crucibles, washing, or cooling systems contributes to the burden on your energy profile.

These load peaks are not only difficult to plan but also directly result in increased grid fees. Just a single outlier in a year can cause additional costs amounting to several thousand euros – regardless of how efficiently the other production weeks go.

Dynamic demand management with a system

The EOS system minimizes network fees and reduces electricity costs.

With our dynamically managed load management system EOS, we offer a reliable solution for automated peak load avoidance in all areas of metal processing. EOS detects consumption patterns in real-time, intelligently controls your systems, and optimizes the power flow of your entire facility.

Through a holistic approach, energy distribution can be efficiently smoothed – without manual intervention and without production losses. Our experience shows: The investment in the EOS system usually pays off within two years.

demand management metal industry - targeted reduction in electricity costs

Reduce your network fees sustainably through automatic control of energy-intensive processes.

Energy Efficiency in Hardening Shops – Optimizing Operating Costs

Our EOS system reduces your peak loads and makes your heat treatment more economical.

Funding for Energy Management – Investment Pays Off Twice

Benefit from government grants and tax refunds thanks to legally compliant proof of measurement

Avoid power peaks – Control production intelligently

Our solution distributes energy evenly and prevents costly load peaks during casting or hardening.

Energy management foundry – transparently control consumption

The EAS system provides accurate data and lays the foundation for precise energy optimization.

Reduce network charges – Efficiently control heating processes

Ensure production safety through accurate measurement data.

By automated load shifting, you reduce your grid load and save real money.

Peak Load Hardening – Recognizing and Avoiding Risks

With intelligent analysis and automatic control, you can permanently reduce your electricity costs.

Production reliability through demand management - without manual intervention

EOS ensures stable processes and smooth operations while simultaneously reducing energy costs.

Utilize funding and tax benefits

Document legally compliant with the EAS system and secure refunds.

In combination with our EAS Energy Management System, you document energy usage in compliance with calibration law – a fundamental requirement for tax benefits and government funding programs. Our systems are qualified for various funding models and enable, among other things:

  • Refund of electricity and energy tax

  • Access to investment grants under the BAFA funding program

  • Improvement of the CO₂ balance through efficient energy distribution

This way, you not only reduce your ongoing energy costs but also meet all legal requirements.

Proven solutions with renowned clients

Successful implementation of the EOS system in the industry

Our systems are already being used successfully in the metal industry - with demonstrable results:

  • FERRUM Edelstahlhärterei: Reduction of grid charges by 40%

  • Härterei Gerster: Optimal use of variable electricity tariffs

  • CTB Italy: Comprehensive use of EOS in all plants

  • Läuterhäusle: Smooth processes and sustainably reduced energy costs

These examples prove: demand management pays off - economically and ecologically.
