Application area
Energy and compressed air
Most sites know only the total on their energy bill. We install meters on the sub-panels and on the most critical utilities, giving consumption a traceable source. From there it becomes possible to determine what weighs on the bill, what runs outside production hours and where losses occur.

See this working in practice
A case built from the situations we see most often in this area, with the program working the way it would on your own site.
Situation
One monthly figure explains nothing
When the bill goes up, the discussion stalls on doubt: was it production, a fault, or a machine left running over the weekend? Without metering per panel there is no way to answer, and the decision to invest in energy efficiency ends up postponed for lack of data to support it.
With compressed air the challenge is similar but more expensive. It is the utility with the highest cost per unit produced and the least supervision. Leaks can only be detected with the plant stopped, and production rarely stops to look for them.
What we measure
- Active and reactive energy at the main panel and at each sub-panel
- Instantaneous power, to track the peak against the contracted capacity
- Power factor and harmonic distortion
- Fuel consumption and running hours of the generator set
- Photovoltaic output, where it exists
- Pressure, flow and dew point on the compressed air network
- Flow and return temperatures on heating and cooling circuits
- And other quantities, depending on what your operation needs to track.
What you get
A concrete result for the team
Consumption broken down
The total on the bill is split by panel, by line and by period, moving the analysis from the overall figure to the real source of consumption.
Hourly and weekly profile
Consumption outside production hours becomes immediately visible, usually the first correction opportunity identified.
Alert before the peak
The dashboard compares instantaneous power with the contracted capacity and alerts with enough lead time to shed a deferrable load.
Post-intervention verification
After an intervention, the same history confirms whether consumption stayed down or returned to its previous level after two months.
The compressor room is usually the best place to start
It is where consumption is most concentrated and where readings produce results fastest. We instrument the room and the air network, and present the results before proposing any extension.
