The industrial sector needs to create transparency in their energy consumption and increase their energy efficiency. Driving forces behind this include mandatory legal obligations and the prospect of tax concessions and reducing costs. Exhibitors at the
The highest emissions are caused by the power industry, with the industrial sector coming in second. According to the 2016 climate protection report, emissions can be reduced by 39 percent over the baseline reference year by 2020. The 36 percent figure has already been achieved. But, as everyone knows, the last few meters are the most difficult. The goals of the German government’s Climate Action Programme 2020 can only be achieved through additional energy efficiency measures – apart from the fact that further effort is needed before greenhouse gas neutrality can be achieved. The energy consumed by electricity, heating, compressed air, cooling, and warm water in the industrial sector needs to be analyzed carefully and optimized
Manufacturing companies, especially those in energy-intensive industries, are faced with major challenges. Mandatory energy audits, tax concessions, and various government grants as well as the promotion of energy management systems contribute to more energy efficiency. The keywords here are DIN EN 16247-1, ISO 50001, and EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme). In recent years, these measures have supported growing interest in energy management systems in the industrial environment.
Hannover Messe is acting on this development with its special Digital Energy presentation in Hall 12. Operators of industrial installations and buildings, mechanical engineers, energy managers, and auditors can learn more about technologies that can be used to record, visualize, and evaluate energy data in order to improve their energy consumption. They can also discover how digitalization and new technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can be of use in this endeavor.
This special presentation at the Energy trade fair focuses on certifying energy management systems in accordance with ISO 50001, integrating manufacturing data with energy data from the surrounding buildings, intelligent light regulation concepts, and building control and communication systems. In addition, exhibitors will discuss how to introduce energy management systems at the user forum.

"Large control rooms are being used less and less to control and monitor operations; instead, more often than not, employees carry a tablet or mobile device with them to operate, maintain, and control electric installations," says Hans-Jürgen Schmitt, Managing Director of
Energy management solutions and innovations for the Internet of Things and Industrie 4.0 will also be presented near the special display in Hall 12. Exhibitors include GE Digital and Hitachi Data Systems.
The special Digital Energy display is located between the Energy and Industrial Automation trade shows. As an official stop on the optically accented "Red Carpet Route – Automation & IT" tour, visitor traffic is guaranteed. Exhibitors will present their solutions for more energy efficiency at so-called kiosks with Internet connections, counters and bar stools. This arrangement makes the special display accessible for first-time exhibitors and startups. In addition, exhibitors from other halls can also feature their energy management solutions at Digital Energy.
The Energy fair this year is not only stealing the show with its new special display, but also with a new partner:
For the industrial sector this means that its climate change policy goals can only be achieved by utilizing pioneering concepts for more energy efficiency. Giving up before crossing the finish line is not acceptable. That's why it's important to seek out information and remain open to new concepts and technologies. The special display
