The EU date for the first energy audit of firms above 10 TJ passed on 11 October 2026, and Poland's bill UC77 is still with the government. What binds a plant today, what the bill changes, and what fresh Eurostat prices say about the cost of waiting.

A walk through the OmniEnergy module in the order you actually use it: connecting a meter, configuring SEUs and EnPIs, comparing periods, scheduling and exporting the report to PDF. Along the way we explain why the system records who entered every manual value, leaves incomplete snapshots off the charts and refuses to compare periods of different length — because that is what decides whether your data survives an ISO 50001 audit.

Multiprojekt (the maker of OmniMES) and Relpol S.A. are launching a joint offering: certified Relpol RMM energy meters combined with the OmniMES system and the OmniEnergy module compliant with ISO 50001. One hardware vendor, one software vendor, one invoice, one point of technical support — instead of three separate integration projects.

As electricity costs continue to rise faster than production margins, companies are increasingly looking for ways to achieve lasting reductions in utility consumption. The answer to these needs is the new energy module in the OmniMES system, which functions as an Energy Management System (EMS). It enables companies to monitor, analyze, and optimize energy consumption across the entire plant — using the same data already utilized by the MES system. This means there’s no need to install sensors or measuring devices twice — the same data can serve both MES and EMS purposes, significantly reducing implementation time and cost.

In the age of Industry 5.0, where energy efficiency becomes a key differentiator, manufacturing enterprises face unprecedented challenges. According to the new EU Directive 2023/1791 on energy efficiency, member states must achieve an average annual energy savings rate of 1.49% between 2024–2030. This means that companies must radically rethink their approach to energy management. A crucial tool in this transformation is the optimization of the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) index through intelligent energy management in MES-class systems. In both Industry 4.0 and 5.0, OEE plays a key role in ROI planning, reliability, and production stability.
