Energy per line, cell and shift.
Component plants run many lines, cells and shifts on one supply, with compressed air behind most of them. BOX2M meters every line, cell and compressor without stopping production, sends the data to the cloud and turns it into cost and CO₂ per unit, per line and per shift.
Many lines, just in time, no downtime.
One bill, many lines
Presses, robot cells, ovens and test benches share one supply, one bill and a few main meters.
Production can't stop
Deliveries run just in time. Installation has to happen without stopping a line.
Compressed air nobody sees
Compressors run around the clock. Leaks and idle running hide in the electricity bill.
Cost and CO₂ per part
Car makers, buyers and banks ask suppliers for energy and carbon per part.
What BOX2M measures, stage by stage.
From the substation to the end-of-line test. Every stage feeds the same data model in the cloud.
Substation and main board
kWh · kW · kvarh · PQMV/LV substation, incomers and main feeders, with power quality.
Cutting, stamping and winding

Robot and SMT cells

Ovens and process heat
kWh · m³ · °CReflow, curing and impregnation ovens: electricity and gas per line.
Assembly and test

Utilities

Six things automotive suppliers do with BOX2M.
Energy per line, cell and shift
Sub-meters per line and robot cell, 1-minute data, reported per shift in PDF or CSV.
ApplicationCompressed air: leaks and idle running
Flow and pressure at the compressors and headers, run time per machine, alarms when the lines stop and air still flows.
ApplicationRun time for maintenance
Running cycles, run time, idle time and starts per press, robot and machine. Run-time counters open work orders in your CMMS.
ApplicationExisting meters stay in place
Meters and analysers already in the boards are read as they are. New meters go in only where something is missing.
ApplicationEnergy and CO₂ per part
Electricity and gas allocated per line and product, priced with your supplier tariff.
ApplicationRooftop PV: no export at negative prices
For plants with PV and a battery, playbooks charge the battery or shift load instead of exporting when the price is below zero.
ApplicationThe numbers a component plant runs on.
Per unit, per line, per cell and per shift, updated every minute in the cloud and reported in PDF or CSV. The same data goes to your ERP, MES or maintenance system over API.
