Save money and co2 with NCN Energy Timer

The NCN Energy Timer is an IoT device/service (where IoT stands for Internet of Things) designed to optimize the charging of electric forklift trucks and other machines used in internal logistics. This means you can achieve savings on your electricity bill by shifting your energy usage to times of the day when electricity prices are lowest.

With a customized profile, you can select the exact time periods when the charger chooses times with the lowest electricity prices and when it should be available all the time, such as during a coffee or lunch break.

You can use the NCN Energy Timer to choose the hours of the day when either the price or the CO2 footprint is lowest while charging your machine. Additionally, we offer you the option to purchase ESG reporting, which is 100% based on measurement data and shows the actual CO2 savings and cost savings.

This solution has been tested with one of N.C. Nielsen's clients who has a large fleet of Linde electric trucks. During the test, the timer was set to charge between 3:00 PM and 6:00 AM, with a total charging time of five hours per day. The test showed that the client saved an average of 0.71 DKK per kWh and reduced CO2 emissions by 34.4 grams per kWh each month.
