Run time and energy per machine.
Appliance, tool and engine plants run hundreds of machines, most of them behind a few main meters. BOX2M reads each machine without stopping production, sends the data to the cloud and turns it into run time, energy and cost per machine, the basis for predictive maintenance.
Many machines, few meters, no downtime.
Machines without meters
Presses, machine tools and robots of every age sit behind a handful of main meters.
Breakdowns stop the line
Maintenance runs on calendars or on breakdowns, not on how much each machine actually ran.
Old and new side by side
Relays, contacts and analogue signals next to machines that speak Modbus.
Cost and CO₂ per product
Buyers and banks ask for energy and carbon per appliance, tool or engine.
What BOX2M measures, machine by machine.
From the press shop to the end-of-line test. Every machine feeds the same data model in the cloud.
Press shop and sheet metal
kWh · kW · run timeEnergy, running cycles and run time per press, punching and bending machine.
Machining
kWh · run timeMachine tools with idle time and starts per shift.
Welding and assembly
kWh · run time · Nm³Energy and compressed air per assembly line and shift.
Paint and curing
kWh · m³ · °CPaint shops and curing ovens: electricity and gas per line.
Test benches
kWh · run timeEnd-of-line and engine test benches on their own meters.
Utilities
kWh · Nm³ · bar · °CCompressors, boilers and HVAC: the plant that feeds the plant.
Six things machinery makers do with BOX2M.
Run time for predictive maintenance
Running cycles, run time, idle time and starts per machine. Run-time counters open work orders in your CMMS.
ApplicationEnergy per machine and shift
Sub-meters per machine or machine group, 1-minute data, reported per shift in PDF or CSV.
ApplicationOld machines, new data
Relays, contacts and analogue signals digitised, so older machines report next to new ones.
ApplicationCompressed air: leaks and idle running
Flow and pressure at the compressors and headers, alarms when the lines stop and air still flows.
ApplicationEnergy and CO₂ per product
Electricity and gas allocated per line and product, priced with your supplier tariff.
ApplicationAudit before you replace
Mobile electrical kits measure a machine or a line for two weeks, so you replace only what the data says is worth it.
ApplicationThe numbers a machinery plant runs on.
Per machine, 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.
