FEM 9.865 - Energy consumption – determination methods (EcoDeMISE): Calculation, measurement and evaluation methods of Intralogistics Systems and material handling equipment

FEM 9.865-EN

The terms and procedures defined in this recommendation are applicable to a broad variety of industries using intralogistics systems, ranging from warehouses, airport baggage handling systems or parcel sorting systems. The measurement and calculation recommendations are intended for planners, manufacturers and purchasers of intralogistics systems and aim to enable a methodical approach to calculate and measure the energy consumption of intralogistics systems including subsystems, modules and components.

The recommendation is focused on the Basic-Calculation and the Advanced-Calculation method. There, the main formulas and assumptions are set and the user gets a helpful example how to calculate the energy consumption by itself. The recommendation also includes a method for measurements on installed systems. The measurement method is described for modules as well as for complete systems. Afterwards a method for comparison of the calculated energy consumption with the measured data is given, so that the reliability of the calculation is shown.
