Manufacturing Energy and Emissions Management
Measure energy and emissions per line, per shift and per unit produced, so reduction targets are pursued against evidence rather than against the monthly utility invoice.

The Challenge
Most plants understand energy consumption at the level of the site meter and the monthly invoice, which is far too coarse to act on.
- 1Consumption understood at site meter level, far too coarse to act on
- 2No visibility of which line, shift or product drives a consumption spike
- 3Compressed air leaks and idle equipment persisting for years because they are invisible
Our Approach
CloudGate meters at line and major-equipment level with telemetry streaming into Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, normalizing consumption per unit produced so comparisons across lines, shifts and products are meaningful.
- Sub-metering at line and major-equipment level rather than site level only
- Consumption normalized per unit produced for meaningful cross-line comparison
- Anomaly detection on leaks, idle draw and unexplained out-of-hours consumption
Typical Outcomes
Per line and shift
CONSUMPTION MEASURED, NOT ESTIMATED
Live
WASTE DETECTION WHILE IT IS HAPPENING
Continuous
EMISSIONS FROM ACTUAL CONSUMPTION
Typical outcomes for this solution pattern, not the results of a named client engagement.
