Use of advanced technology

As part of the project, Olmatic will implement the AI-based software visions, which enables energy flows to be precisely analyzed and future consumption to be predicted. These predictions are essential in a volatile energy market in order to achieve significant cost savings and future-proof the energy infrastructure. The integration of photovoltaic systems and battery storage is also carried out by Olmatic at the relevant Rheinmetall sites.

Virtual power plant and cost savings

With our visions software, we will make a significant contribution to Rheinmetall's energy efficiency and sustainability.

Patrick Olma, CEO of Olmatic

Rheinmetall's various sites will be merged into a virtual power plant to enable cross-site electricity use and increase overall efficiency. This bundling of energy generation and storage capacities gives Rheinmetall unprecedented flexibility and a pioneering position in the industry. These measures not only ensure a significant reduction in energy costs, but also strengthen security of supply.
