Industrial & manufacturing

See where the power goes, shift by shift.

Industrial bills are driven by peaks, time bands and capacity as much as by the units you use. We measure your site at the incoming supply, find the waste and the expensive peaks, and give you the controls to keep them down.

Sound familiar?

What we hear most

Peaks and time bands

Start-ups and shift overlaps pushing demand into the most expensive time bands.

Out-of-hours load

Compressors, heating, lighting and idle machines running when nothing is being made.

Capacity and reactive charges

Agreed capacity set too high or too low, and reactive power charges from poor power factor.

Complex bills

Half-hourly bills with dozens of lines that nobody has the time to check.

How we help

Measure, plan, install, control

One team from the first reading to the final saving.

  1. 1

    Check the bills

    A free check of 12 months of half-hourly bills: tariff, capacity, reactive power, network charges, VAT and levies.

  2. 2

    Measure the site

    An Energy Fingerprint gives your site’s load shape: base load, shift peaks, start-up spikes and what runs overnight.

  3. 3

    Fix the big items

    Costed measures in your report, from controls and LED to batteries and solar, installed by GridUnlock.

  4. 4

    Keep control

    The Identic EMS alerts you to anomalies, shifts load with batteries and solar, and reports savings against your baseline.

FAQ

Industrial sites: common questions

Can you install monitoring without a shutdown?

In most cases, yes. The reader uses split-core current clamps that fit around the incoming cables without disconnecting them. Our engineers confirm the safest method during the site survey, and any work is planned around production.

We already have a half-hourly meter. Why measure again?

Half-hourly data shows totals every 30 minutes. A Fingerprint reader measures every few seconds, which shows the start-up spikes, short peaks and machine-level patterns that a 30-minute average hides, and it gives you live data rather than data weeks later.

What is a reactive power charge?

Some half-hourly supplies are charged when the site draws a lot of reactive power, usually because of motors and other inductive equipment. It shows on the bill as a separate line. The bill check flags it, and the Fingerprint shows whether power-factor correction would pay back.

Do batteries make sense for an industrial site?

Where demand is peaky or tariffs vary a lot through the day, a battery can cut peak charges and store solar for later. Your Fingerprint report models the saving on your own load data before you commit.
