Enmon for industrial and manufacturing companies

Every machine has its own bill.
Enmon shows it to you.

The utility’s main meter tells you what the whole plant pays. It won’t tell you which machine is losing the money. Enmon’s sub-metering splits consumption by technology, and installs with no production downtime.

A true story

They planned production from a notebook of meter readings

A distillery needs mains drinking water to make its spirits, under a strict monthly limit so the surrounding homes don’t run dry. Every spirit consumes a different amount, so the production schedule used to be planned from manual readings that someone physically walked round to collect every day.

We fitted smart metering on water, electricity and gas and fed everything into Enmon. Manual readings disappeared entirely and production is now planned from real-time data. Then came a bonus nobody had counted on: the metering revealed hidden leaks sending expensive drinking water straight into the ground.

That’s the industrial pattern in a nutshell: you install metering to solve one problem, and the data pays you back on problems you didn’t know you had.

Detailed metering in practice

What runs when nothing’s being made?

The fastest test of manufacturing efficiency: look at the plant at three in the morning on a Sunday. Everything drawing power at that moment is money wasted, or a fault. Here’s what it looks like at a model plant.

Technology load, Tuesday 10:30

Nothing is being made, yet the plant still draws 199 kW. The compressors hold 64 kW idle, the classic signature of compressed air leaks, roughly €720 every weekend. And the fire tank heats at 27 kW on a Sunday just like in July: that is exactly what the broken thermostat costing €800 a month looked like, and only detailed metering caught it.

Making the case to the CFO

The energy manager knows the old compressor eats too much. But without a chart, nobody signs off on a new one. Sub-metering turns a hunch into evidence:

Old compressor: 312 MWh over the past 12 months, measured at the machine, not estimated from the invoice.

New compressor with a variable-speed drive, per the manufacturer: 218 MWh a year on the same production schedule.

Savings of 94 MWh → €23,000 a year at €0.240/kWh. Investment €48 thousand, payback 2,1 years.

An argument that survives the board meeting: data instead of impressions. And after the swap, Enmon measures whether the manufacturer’s promise holds.APPROVED

Model example, your numbers get measured, not estimated.

Routine without Excel

Energy managers should optimize. Not transcribe.

Three days a month spent collecting numbers and formatting reports are three days when nobody watches the peaks, or the machines that aren’t running yet keep on consuming.

Reserved capacity without overpaying

Enmon tracks quarter-hour maxima and alerts you when demand approaches your contracted capacity. You flatten peaks by scheduling production, and set the capacity by reality, not by fear.

Audits and ESG without retyping

The mandatory energy audit and ESG reporting are built from data already in Enmon. Reports get generated, not retyped, and the metering history stays with the company even when the energy manager leaves.

A notification before the invoice

When a machine stays on over the weekend or a peak shoots up, the alarm arrives right away, not a month later in the aggregate invoice. Response in hours instead of accounting periods.

energy self-sufficiency, the course one manufacturer has set

First-hand

How manufacturing sees it

“To measure is to know.”

A retail shelving manufacturer took two hits at once: the retail chains announced climate neutrality plans, and the energy crisis multiplied the company’s energy prices elevenfold. Today it is heading for 50% energy self-sufficiency, and by refurbishing old shelving it stretches its service life to as much as 21 years, on half the input material.
