Energy used to be a cost line. Now it determines whether your product makes it.
Cooling bulbs, lighting greenhouses, processing onions: energy runs through every part of your operation. But it is getting harder to manage. More assets on site, a grid that is not keeping up and generation that does not match the moment you need power most. Without coordination you pay too much and put your product at risk.
Climate control, cooling and PV work against each other
Your greenhouse or cold store draws energy around the clock. Your solar panels produce on their own schedule. Without coordination, generation flows back to the grid while you buy in at peak rates. At De Groot en Slot that gap accounted for 52% of their energy costs.
One degree wrong and you lose product
Temperature and humidity determine the quality of your bulbs, crops or seed. But the systems that protect that climate run separately from your energy controls. When cooling drops out during a peak moment or lighting cuts off because capacity runs short, you do not just pay more. You lose product.
Growth blocked by the grid
More cold storage, additional lighting or electrification of your heating? The grid operator says no. The capacity is already on your site. It is just not being used intelligently.
One platform for every kW behind your meter.
Tibo EMS is a SaaS energy management system built for agricultural sites with multiple energy assets. It forecasts, optimises and balances every kW behind your meter in real time, within your operational limits. Climate control stays within range. Cooling stays at temperature. Your operation keeps running.
From simulation to control, with no risk to your crop or product.
Agricultural operations cannot afford climate disruptions or cooling interruptions. Every Tibo project starts in software, not on the switchboard.
Build a Digital Twin
Model your site virtually: assets, contracts, growing or storage schedules and climate profiles. Simulate scenarios before a single setting changes.
Connect your assets
Link climate systems, cold stores, solar PV, storage, processing lines and lighting via MODBUS, OCPP and the Tibo Gateway. No hardware replacement needed.
Optimise every 5 minutes
Our EMS continuously shifts load, prevents peaks and secures the lowest kWh price within your operational limits. Climate control and cooling stay within range.
Your operation keeps running
Temperature stays stable, cooling meets the standard and energy costs stay under control. No interruptions. No manual intervention.
You know what you pay. Now see why.
Most agricultural businesses receive a monthly energy bill without understanding what drives it. Tibo EMS gives you a live breakdown of every cost, every asset, every decision. So you stop guessing and start steering.
Cost per asset, per hour
See exactly what your climate control, cold stores, lighting, processing lines and solar PV contribute or cost at any moment. No hidden peaks or unexplained spikes.
Generation vs. consumption, real time
Know when your own solar power is being used and when it flows back to the grid. Shift consumption to your own generation and get more return from your panels.
Forecast vs. reality
Compare planned optimisation with actual performance. Spot deviations early and understand where your savings come from.
Full grid, rising peak costs. And production that has to keep running.
De Groot en Slot breeds and processes onion seed in Broek op Langedijk, the Netherlands. A full grid, self-generated power that was not being used intelligently and peak loads that were driving up costs. Together with installation partner Elektropartners, Tibo EMS connected the solar installation and storage into a single control layer. Peaks are flattened automatically and self-generated power goes to the moments the site needs it most.
"We now have full visibility into what our energy costs and where it goes. Peaks are under control and we are no longer dependent on whatever the grid happens to allow."
The numbers that matter
Frequently asked questions
An EMS is not a dashboard you open once a month. It is the control layer that keeps your climate and cooling on track without exceeding your energy budget.
