An energy monitoring system measures electricity, gas, water, steam and compressed-air consumption in real time by line, machine and zone, and matches it with production data. You see what each machine used on each shift, the energy cost per unit and where savings lie before the bill arrives. We install it end to end, from power analysers to ISO 50001-structured reporting.
The monthly bill tells you the total. It does not tell you which line, which shift or which machine used the energy, or why. Without that, efficiency work is guesswork: is it the compressor, the furnace, or a line idling through the night? And the energy share in your product costing is usually spread by a rule of thumb rather than measured.
For manufacturing plants and large buildings, we fit power analysers and meters on site, bring the data onto a central platform and match it with production data. Plant and energy managers see consumption, cost and savings opportunities on one screen.
Power analysers at main-panel, line and critical-machine level. Gas, water, steam and compressed air are tracked on the same platform as electricity.
Live demand plus daily and monthly consumption curves on one screen. Compare shifts, lines and machines side by side and spot deviations straight away.
Compensation faults, power-factor drift and reactive penalty risk are flagged before the bill is issued. Harmonics and voltage imbalance are tracked to prevent premature equipment wear.
Consumption is matched with production counts to give energy cost per unit or batch, so costing and pricing rest on measured data rather than assumed ratios.
Energy performance indicators (EnPIs), baseline comparisons and improvement tracking structured around ISO 50001, so audit preparation no longer means chasing data.
Idling equipment, out-of-hours consumption and unusual spikes are flagged automatically, putting zero-investment savings at the top of the list.
We survey your panels and major loads on site, then plan which meter goes where and how the data will be carried.
Power analysers, current transformers and communications are installed, scheduled into planned stops and shift changes so production keeps running.
The platform goes live and is matched with production data from your MES or ERP. Reports, thresholds and alert recipients are agreed with you.
Early data is analysed and savings opportunities are reported in priority order. The effect of every change is then measured and verified.
Efficiency programmes often stall because nobody can prove what they achieved. The system we install shows how many kWh and how much money each improvement saved, before and after, so the next investment decision is made on evidence. To automate heating, cooling and lighting in your buildings as well, see our building management (BMS) service.
An energy monitoring system measures consumption in real time by line, machine and zone and matches it with production data. The bill only shows the total; energy monitoring shows which machine used how much, on which shift, and why. Efficiency work is then based on measurement rather than guesswork, and energy cost per unit is calculated from real data.
No. Alongside electricity, natural gas, water, steam and compressed air are monitored on the same platform. Power analysers and meters are installed at main-panel, line and critical-machine level, and all data is brought onto one dashboard where shifts, lines and machines can be compared side by side to spot deviations quickly.
Yes. Compensation faults, power-factor deviation and reactive penalty risk are flagged before the bill is issued. Harmonics and voltage imbalance are also monitored to prevent premature equipment wear, and you are warned as you approach your contracted capacity, so you can act before a surprise appears on the invoice.
Yes. Energy performance indicators (EnPIs), baseline comparisons and improvement tracking are reported in a structure aligned with ISO 50001. Because data is collected continuously, there is no scramble to gather figures before an audit. The system also shows how many kWh and how much money each improvement saved, before and after.
No. An energy survey first reviews the panel structure and major consumers on site and produces a metering plan. Power analysers, current transformers and communications are installed during planned stops and between shifts. The platform then goes live, is matched with production data from your MES or ERP, and thresholds are agreed with you.
