Daily monitoring in energy management: Energy efficiency through dashboards, reports, and alerts

This applies to both consumption data as a cost driver and generation data. Especially with generation plants, the question arises: Are they still functioning as planned and making the expected contribution to cost reduction?

That is why it is important to integrate monitoring into your daily work routine so that you can react and intervene quickly – with GreenPocket energy management software, this can be done with little effort.

Three ways to get an overview: dashboard, reports, and alerts

Effective monitoring requires flexible tools that adapt to everyday work. In our software,dashboards, reports, and alerts perform precisely these tasks. Manually, automatically, or reactively, depending on your needs.

1.   The dashboard: a quick overview

The dashboard is usually the entry point to the portal and provides an immediate status quo. Locations, measuring points, and hierarchy levels are visible at a glance, allowing anomalies to be identified immediately. All relevant data, from consumption to generation data, is clearly displayed. If the data overview shows deviations, you can jump directly to the detailed view and examine these conspicuous values more closely with just a few clicks in the flexible analysis or in the daily profile comparison.

Since different data is relevant for different use cases, different dashboards are available, such as a company view, map overview, or specific objects. This allows all users to find the right view for their everyday work.

2. Reports: Receive information automatically

Not all users log into the portal every day. For them, the reporting system offers a convenient alternative, which can essentially be viewed as an automatic dashboard via email. Users receive a summary of the most important key figures and visualizations on a regular basis, for example daily. This allows deviations to be identified without having to open the portal. If desired or necessary, external stakeholders can also be easily integrated by adding them as recipients.

3. Alarms: React immediately when something happens

The alarm feature is responsible for exceptional cases. As soon as a defined threshold is exceeded or not reached, or a measured value is missing, all relevant stakeholders automatically receive a notification by email—for example, if a PV system is no longer generating energy or there is a leak in the water meter. This enables rapid intervention and protects against major damage or costs. Once set up, alarms run continuously in the background, offering the advantage that users do not have to actively log in all the time to stay up to date.

Flexibility and convenience in everyday work

In addition to transparency, convenience also plays a major role in everyday use. Depending on their needs, users decide for themselves how intensively they want to interact with the monitoring system. Those who check the portal daily use the dashboard for a direct overview. Those who prefer to be informed regularly receive automatic reports. And those who only want to react to deviations can rely on our alarm feature.

Once properly set up, the system runs almost by itself. This creates convenience, saves time, and at the same time provides the assurance that nothing will be overlooked.

Ready to act at any time with daily monitoring

Regular monitoring of energy consumption is a key component of efficient energy management. Dashboards, reports, and alerts give companies control over their energy processes at all times. This allows them to identify deviations early on, analyze the causes in a targeted manner, and implement measures immediately.

Daily monitoring not only creates transparency, but also flexibility and security in everyday work. For anyone who wants to actively control their energy processes and minimize costs, the combination of automated notifications and intuitive analysis tools is a real asset. Daily monitoring thus becomes not just a routine, but a real success factor for greater efficiency and control.
