Industry sectors with high energy consumption like the plastics processing industry already have high energy costs. In the short and medium term a further rise in energy prices can be expected. Not only the consumed energy quantity affects the costs but also the energy peaks. By the use of factory simulation the energy peaks of a model are simulated. An optimisation of the logistic control to reduce energy peaks is realised and the effects are described.
