Energy, water and steam per tonne.

Food plants run on more utilities than almost any other industry: electricity, gas, steam, water, compressed air and cold. BOX2M reads all of them without stopping a line, sends them to the cloud and turns them into cost and CO₂ per tonne, per batch and per product.

Challenges

Many utilities, thin margins, no downtime.

Six utilities, six bills

Electricity, gas, steam, water, compressed air and refrigeration, each billed and tracked on its own.

Production can't stop

Installation has to happen without shutting a line, cutting a pipe or opening a cold room for long.

Old and new side by side

Decades of machines, meters and signals from different vendors in the same hall.

Cost and CO₂ per product

Retailers, buyers and banks ask for energy and carbon per tonne or per pack.

Across the plant

What BOX2M measures, stage by stage.

From the water intake to the loading dock. Every stage feeds the same data model in the cloud.

1

Intake and water treatment

m³ · m³/h · °C

Water per source and per section, with clamp-on meters. No pipe cuts.

2

Processing

t/h · bar · °C · Nm³

Steam and gas per line: cooking, pasteurising, drying. Vortex meters retrofitted.

3

Cooling and cold storage

kWh · °C · %RH

Cold-room temperature and compressor energy, with alarms.

4

Packaging lines

kWh · run time · Nm³

Energy, run time and compressed air per line and shift.

5

Utilities

kWh · t/h · Nm³ · bar

Boiler house, compressors and chillers: the plant that feeds the plant.

6

Environment and wastewater

emissions · PM · m³

Emissions and discharge next to production data.

KPIs

The numbers a food plant runs on.

Per tonne, per batch, per line 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.
