STEP 1
Facility review
We look at what is installed, which parameters are critical and where the losses are today.
At your facility or remote
Metering: the bill stops being a mystery
You cannot optimise what you do not measure. Metering by zone, by equipment and by tenant shows exactly where resources go, and where they are wasted.

What we meter
The meters report by themselves. Walking round with a clipboard and typing the numbers into a spreadsheet is no longer needed.
ElectricityBy zone, by equipment, by line, by tenant - including power quality.
WaterWireless meters that send their readings straight into the system.
Heating and coolingMetered by circuit and by room.
GasConsumption by facility and by process.
Compressed airFlow and pressure, with leak detection in the mains.
Running hoursActual hours worked by units and machinery.
Usage intensityConsumption broken down by time of day and by shift.
Power qualityVoltage, current, power, phases.
You cannot optimise what you do not measure
Metering by zone is the first step, because a single figure for the whole facility hides everything worth finding.
How it works in practice
Situation and system response
Situation
What the system does
What you get
The bill goes up for no obvious reason
You can see which zone or which machine caused the rise
An answer in an hour, not in a month
Equipment runs outside its schedule
Consumption outside working hours is recorded separately
The source of the waste is found
Several tenants share one building
Separate meters give a transparent split
Invoices nobody argues with
You need a baseline for an efficiency programme
Consumption history per point over any period you choose
Decisions from data, not from estimates
Proof
Screens from live facilities

Rollout
From pilot to full coverage
STEP 2
Pilot on 5-10 points
A gateway, sensors and meters on the riskiest zones. Installed without stopping operations.
A few hours per facility
STEP 3
Dashboards and reports
We draw up the facility plan, set the limits for each point, the alerts and the report formats.
Shaped around your processes
STEP 4
Scaling up
The same kit across the remaining zones and facilities, with a single view for the whole company.
No new approvals needed
Questions
Asked before every rollout
The sensors and the gateway keep logging through it, and a backup power unit is part of the standard kit. The record continues across the outage, so there is no gap to account for afterwards.
A pilot on five to ten points takes a few hours per facility and goes in without stopping operations. The sensors are fixed in place rather than cabled in, so there are no wall penetrations to make and no shutdown to arrange.
Next step
We will work out where the money is leaking at your facility
We will meter your largest consumption groups - within a month you will see how much of it can be removed.
