„With visual energy, two people in our company manage over 800 measuring points for different media. The system is clearly structured, easy to use and guarantees a high level of operational safety thanks to permanent monitoring. Warning and alarm messages are forwarded as e-mails and inform us in good time if certain limit values are exceeded or not reached – this saves us unpleasant surprises due to production downtimes.”
ZF Friedrichshafen AG
„The Mubea Group has been successfully using the KBR system for many years at 43 different locations (not all of which have yet been expanded) in 15 different countries. It makes it easier for us to work and to demonstrate potential savings and thus supports us in meeting the requirements of ISO 50001. We are very satisfied with the possibilities of the flexible system and have not yet reached the limits of the system. The service is fast and efficient and we look forward to continuing our good cooperation.”
Mubea-Group
“visual energy shows energy managers, but also every individual who is significantly involved in energy consumption, a variety of possibilities to create evaluations of energy consumption, create transparency on energy consumption and thus uncover energy potential.”
Borbet GmbH
“With visual energy from KBR, we know what is happening in our plants and are notified if something gets out of hand!”
Faymonville Distribution AG
Building material &
Wood processing
„At PVP Triptis GmbH, efficiency is our top priority. Our sophisticated rubber granulate manufacturing process is very power-intensive and we have always been confronted with expensive power peaks. Thanks to the implementation of a battery storage system and the innovative multimax load management system from KBR, we can effectively limit these power peaks without having to resort to the public grid. Even our charging stations for electromobility are seamlessly integrated into this system.
The visual energy energy management system enables us to record our energy consumption precisely and visualize it clearly. As we require a lot of energy, it was extremely important for us to monitor every major outgoing circuit in real time. This precise control has enabled us to optimize our energy flows, identify potential savings and implement measures to increase efficiency. In addition, we are now ideally equipped to meet the requirements of ISO 50001. As a pioneer in innovation, we are investing in a sustainable power supply for the future.”
PVP Triptis
„True to our mission statement, we focus on outstanding quality when it comes to sustainability and energy efficiency, just as we do with our own products. Thanks to the innovative EDM visual energy, we are able to precisely record the consumption of electricity, oil and soon also heat. The extensive measurement data is processed so clearly that we can use it specifically for our environmental management. In addition to monitoring transformer utilization and base load, we will also use the system to plan a new PV system in the future.”
RAU GmbH
“At this point, I would like to emphasize the quality of the appliance once again. The BK system has been running without any problems since 2002. Despite very harsh environmental conditions (dusty, unclimatized environment), the device runs reliably and the capacitors have not yet exhibited any faults (liquid loss or similar). I find that quite remarkable … The appliance has only been serviced by us and this was limited to cleaning work and filter replacement.”
Adler Kunststofftechnik
“Very satisfied with the KBR compensation systems for many years.”

“We have been using KBR visual energy with conviction for years to record our energy requirements. Thanks to the open interfaces in visual energy (OPC, Modbus), the system is very flexible and can also be connected to other BMS systems. This enables us to also record non-system data in correlation with energy consumption. Thanks to the web-based user and administration interface in visual energy, there is no longer any need for proprietary software and it is therefore possible to provide relevant data and reports to all areas of the company on a user-specific basis.”

“KBR’s energy data management system visual energy has been implemented in our branches across Europe with over 2,000 metering points and is used by around 100 users from different departments every day. The EDM helps us with evaluations, planning and optimization of existing and new plants, reconciliation of electricity bills, cost centers and much more. It is an important tool for us in operational energy management.”
Dachser Logistik
“With the active power filters and compensation systems from KBR, we can significantly reduce the harmonics in our grid and protect our systems from outages.”
We use a large number of frequency converters and electronic switching power supplies in our DB power grid. Although these power electronics enable us to achieve outstanding energy efficiency, it is precisely these components that lead to negative feedback effects on the grid and all connected consumers. As a result, we had a lot of wear out and tear on equipment, malfunctions and breakdowns. The more energy-efficient we became, i.e. the more power electronics were used, the more disruptive harmonics appeared.
KBR helped us quickly with their expert advice and created an optimum solution for us with the power filters, which greatly increased our operational reliability.“
DB Fernverkehr AG
“As a company with many production sites in Germany, the visual energy software enables us to identify energy efficiency potential across all sites and transfer it to the sites. We see another major advantage in the possibility of linking the energy data with our production data in order to obtain a holistic picture for the optimization of processes and procedures.”
Smurfit Kappa GmbH
“KBR supplies us with measuring devices to record our energy consumption. Using “visual energy”, we can evaluate the measurements and create key figures and also group measuring points into energy benefits or cost centers.

Fürthermare – Vitaplan Thermalbad GmbH & Co. KG
“The KBR team has helped us to use our ventilation systems in an energy-efficient and performance-based way. By replacing an older KBR energy optimization system with the new multimax system, we are now able to transmit all important information to our BMS via Modbus and visualize it there. Shutdown information from the multimax system is forwarded to the ventilation systems via bus actuators in the BMS and switches them off if necessary – to avoid major power peaks. By using this flexible system, we have found an innovative method that allows us to utilize the quality and reliability of KBR products while maintaining the existing infrastructure of our BMS.”
