Example of successful implementation of solution in manufacturing company.
Baumruk & Baumruk, a Czech manufacturing company, implemented FLOWBOX EMOS to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency in supervising its facilities and production. Previously, the company faced challenges such as inefficient heating, unnecessary lighting, and limited visibility across multiple resources. FLOWBOX EMOS unified the monitoring and management of electricity, heating, lighting, water, and technical gases into a single platform, enabling real-time supervision and automated control. The system not only simplified oversight of production and building operations but also uncovered waste and optimized energy flows. Within the first year, the company achieved 34% overall energy cost savings, including 86% reduction in heating and 40% savings on lighting. In addition, FLOWBOX improved equipment lifespan, enhanced workplace comfort, and allowed production capacity to expand without extra staff. With ROI reached in about one year, Baumruk & Baumruk strengthened both operational supervision and sustainability.

Expected return on investment (ROI)
Manufacturing companies adopting FLOWBOX EMOS typically achieve energy and resource savings of 15–40%, depending on facility size and processes. Documented cases show payback periods between 6 and 24 months, with some reaching up to 50% total savings when combining electricity, heat, and water optimization. The system’s modular design allows for phased implementation, ensuring early measurable results and continuous long-term efficiency gains.
Cost overview: implementation and ongoing expenses
"During the initial phase of installation and implementation of our solution, costs are usually associated not only with software but also with infrastructure and the addition of various sensors and meters. The costs are proportional to the scope of the project and also depend on whether the target solution will “only” provide monitoring and measurement of energy flows, or whether it will fully autonomously manage the energy system of an industrial plant, building, school, city etc.
At the beginning, the costs typically range from EUR 10,000 to EUR 100,000 (one locality), and subsequent operation (software maintenance) is usually 10–20% of the software license purchase price. In our case, we also offer a software license rental (SaaS) model, in which case the initial investment in software license is zero, but the annual software maintenance fee also includes the license rental."
