METRON EMOS Energy Management and Optimization System

METRON is a French cleantech company founded in Paris in 2013 that helps industrial groups cut energy costs and carbon emissions without reducing output. It has 9 offices across EMEA, LATAM, APAC and North America, including an Asia Pacific hub in Singapore and teams opened in Japan and South Korea in 2018, and serves more than 180 international industrial groups.

Its SaaS platform, the Energy Management and Optimization System (EMOS), connects meters and production data, monitors energy performance in real time and applies AI and optimisation algorithms to find hidden losses. Modules cover data acquisition, performance monitoring, analytics, advanced optimisation, carbon tracking and energy cost management, delivered with a digitalisation roadmap and expert support. It serves cement, food and beverage, glass, iron and steel and paper plants, plus retail and public buildings.

• Data acquisition management: collects and validates meter, utility and production data across sites.
• Energy performance monitoring: real-time dashboards and indicators for each plant, line and utility.
• Insights and analytics: identifies hidden energy losses and deviations from optimal operation.
• Advanced optimisation: AI and algorithms recommend optimal set points for energy-intensive processes.
• Carbon impact tracking: measures and reports emissions linked to energy use.
• Energy cost management: tracks energy budgets and costs to steer net-zero plans and procurement.

Cement, steel and paper plants in Vietnam that are designated key energy users can digitise mandatory energy reporting and find savings in kilns, furnaces and steam systems. Food and beverage groups with several factories can benchmark sites on one platform. Industrial park operators or energy service companies can bundle the EMOS with their energy supply offers, as PTT does in Thailand.

Case studies on the site include ArcelorMittal saving 340,000 euros per year, a glass furnace saving 250,000 euros in one year, Danone optimising energy across 200 sites and a paper mill cutting steam use by 4.5%. Teams take control of the platform within about three months. Energy cost visibility helps align budgets with decarbonisation plans, and the tool supports ISO 50001 and national efficiency regulations.

Energy efficiency rules are tightening across Asia, for example Malaysia's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, while export manufacturers face carbon reporting demands from buyers and mechanisms such as CBAM. Utilities and energy companies such as PTT now bundle digital energy management with their industrial offers, opening channels for EMS platforms in Southeast Asia.

Founded in Paris in 2013, with about 145 employees and 9 subsidiaries; APAC offices opened in 2018 (Japan, Singapore, South Korea). Alliances include Dalkia in France, Edison in Italy, SK Gas in South Korea and PTT in Thailand; AWS partner. Acquired Dapesco in 2021 and holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification since 2023.
