Energy monitoring for manufacturing

A plant's energy bill is really a dozen bills: compressed air, process heat, motors, extraction, lighting and the load that never switches off. We separate them.

Where the energy actually goes

Compressed air

The most expensive utility in most plants and the one that leaks quietly. Metering the compressor shows what the leak rate is costing every weekend.

Process heat

Ovens, dryers and boilers holding temperature through breaks and shift changes because nobody set a schedule.

Motors and drives

Fixed-speed motors running at full draw on part load. The data tells you which ones justify a drive.

Extraction and ventilation

Fans running to a clock rather than to demand, often long after the line stops.

What the data usually catches first

For a finance director, this is the clearest case we make. Manufacturing load is measurable, repeatable and large enough that a percentage point is real money.

  • Plant that never reaches a true overnight baseline
  • A single line drawing more than its twin on the same product
  • Compressors cycling against each other
  • Equipment degrading weeks before it fails

Start with an audit. The SEAI pays €2,000 of it

If you spend over €10,000 a year on energy, the Support Scheme for Energy Audits covers most of the cost. An engineer walks the site and writes up what to fix and what it returns.
