OPTIONAL MODULEEnergy management
RECON ESG
Monitoring of electricity and compressed air consumption
With the help of RECON ESG, we can evaluate energy performance and read data directly from the machine control system or the retrofitted measuring PLC.
- Conversion of energy consumed into one particular piece
- Identification of inefficient peaks and non-productive withdrawals on weekends
- Background for ESG reporting and ISO 50001 certification
RECON ESG in detail
The energy bill shows the sum for the whole operation, not for a particular machine or workshop. The ESG reads the consumption directly from the machine control system if it supports it, otherwise the machine can be retrofitted with a measuring PLC. The result is an overview of average output, peak and consumption day by day.
Machine energy in numbers
- Reading consumption directly from the machine control system if supported
- The machine can be supplied with a measuring PLC for collecting required quantities
- Average power output and peak power in the selected period
- Monthly consumption overview day by day
- Combination with RECON MES allows conversion of consumption into one produced piece
Who the module is for
- Energy consumption by machines and periods
- Management - supporting documents for ESG reporting
- Technologist - energy performance of a particular piece in conjunction with MES
Deployment prerequisites
- Machine control system that supports consumption reading or retrofitting the PLC
- For conversion to manufactured piece deployed by RECON MES
Availability
Optional module in excess of the basic package; price according to the installation scale.

Manufacturing first-handTAJMAC-ZPS know-how · Real operation
TRADITION FROM ZLÍN-MALENOVICE
We understand data.
Because we build machining centres ourselves.
ReCON was not created at an IT consultancy desk, but directly on the production floors of TAJMAC-ZPS, the Zlín manufacturer of high-end machining centres. We understand the daily challenges faced by setters, technologists and production managers.
PRACTICE · TOOL PRESETTING
ReCON JOB: From presetting to the machine without errors
The tool assembly travels from the presetting station to the machine spindle without manually re-entering offsets. Unique tool identification, precise measurement and automatic data transfer to the CNC machine eliminate up to 99% of human setup errors.
- Identify – the tool assembly gets a unique digital code via an RFID chip or QR label.
- Measure – the optical presetting station sends the measured offsets to the central ReCON JOB database.
- Apply – automatic error-free transfer of offsets straight into the CNC machine without manual entry.
CASE STUDY · INDUSTRY 4.0
Manufacturing cell 4.0 at TAJMAC-ZPS
We helped implement the Production Cell 4.0 at the INTEMAC laboratories in Kuřim. Together with our partners, we tested adaptive manufacturing, unified communication, predictive maintenance, post-process inspection and augmented reality. This experience directly shaped other ReCON products.
- Adaptive manufacturing and unified cell control
- Predictive maintenance and post-process part inspection
- Augmented reality for diagnostics and service

About usDeveloped in production · Proven in practice
RECON BY TAJMAC-ZPS
From our own shop floor.
For yours.
ReCON was created in an environment where machining, planning, setting up and solving real production problems happen every day. At TAJMAC-ZPS we needed to understand our own production better — to know how the machines work, where downtime arises and what data we can base further decisions on.
Our in-house solution gradually grew into a modular platform through which we now pass the experience of our Zlín plant on to other companies.
It started with the need to see into production
Matteo Bottura's service experience revealed the untapped potential of data for monitoring and diagnostics. The first internal web application, TM-DB, began to be tested directly in production.
The software is backed by machine know-how
Daily operation and feedback from operators, foremen, planners and maintenance shaped the terminals, the links to business systems and the clear overviews.
Customers brought us to other companies
During plant visits customers saw the system in practice and wanted the same overview at home. An internal tool thus became a platform for other manufacturing companies.
