TS EN IEC 63376

TS EN IEC 63376 defines the functions and information flows for an Industrial Facility Energy Management System (FEMS). Rather than treating energy management as simple status visualization, the standard addresses a framework for moving toward automated energy management and for linking energy-related functions more closely with other management and control systems.

Where FEMS fits in an industrial facility

In general technical terms, a FEMS sits between plant-level energy data and higher-level business or operations systems. It typically relates metering, sub-metering, equipment states, and operational information so that energy use can be monitored, interpreted, and acted upon. The standard’s focus is on the generic functions that define a FEMS and on a generic method for classifying those functions, rather than on a specific vendor architecture.

Information exchange with enterprise and production systems

The document also outlines information exchange between the FEMS and systems such as Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). In practical terms, this kind of linkage helps connect energy data with production schedules, execution data, and enterprise planning so that energy performance can be considered alongside operational and business decisions. The standard frames this interaction at a functional level and does not attempt to prescribe a full implementation design.

• Addresses the integration of energy management with production and enterprise systems.
• Defines generic FEMS functions and a classification approach for them.
• Outlines information flows with MOM, MES, and ERP.
• Supports the shift from monitoring-only energy management toward automation.
