Estudio para el proceso de certificación del sistema de gestión de la energía ISO 50001 en la industria metal mecánica.

Abstract

Energy efficiency has become a key issue within industries due to its impact on reducing operating costs within the organization, as well as its environmental impact and compliance with increasingly stringent regulations. The metalworking industry employs numerous energy-intensive equipment in its processes, the management of which can be underestimated to avoid economic losses and reduce environmental degradation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an Energy Management System based on the ISO 50001 standard. Measuring instruments such as energy analyzers, smart electricity consumption meters, multimeters, and thermal cameras were used for this purpose. Analysis software such as Power Monitoring Expert, Solis Cloud, and Svision on-promises were used to centralize, process, and visualize the measured data. Evidence of the measurements was established through technical documentation, which assessed the consumption status and the electrical system of the industrial plant, and guidelines for specific energy performance indicators were established.
