NewHybrid control for C&I batteries: stop exporting at negative prices
Solutions / Factories and industrial parks

Know the energy cost of every product.

Your monthly bill says how much you paid. It doesn't say where, when and why the energy went. BOX2M meters every utility per line, machine and building, without stopping production, and turns it into cost and CO₂ per product.

per product, line, machine or shift
Why now

Measured data is becoming an obligation.

EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2023/1791

Companies using more than 85 TJ a year must run an energy management system. Above 10 TJ, an energy audit at least every four years.

ISO 50001

An energy baseline, performance indicators and proof of improvement, built on metered data instead of estimates.

Customers, banks and ESG

Buyers and lenders ask for energy and CO₂ per product. Where CSRD applies, energy use is a required disclosure.

What you get

What changes on the shop floor.

Metering of every utility

Electricity, gas, water, steam, heat and compressed air, per line, machine and building, automatically, 24/7.

Retrofit, not replace

We read the meters and signals you already have and add only what is missing. No refurbishment, no production stop.

Machine usage reports

Running cycles, run time, idle time and starts per machine and shift. The basis for predictive maintenance.

Alarms and load control

Peaks, deviations and meters that stop reporting raise an alarm. Loads switch manually or by playbook.

Cost and CO₂ per product

Energy cost and carbon per product, process or piece of equipment, per supplier tariff, in EUR, RON, USD or GBP.

Industrial parks: tenant re-billing

Every tenant metered and billed against contractual maximums and your billing day.

What we measure here

Sized to your site.

  • Substations: HV/MV, MV/MV and MV/LV, grid feeders, local production and storage
  • Production: lines, machinery, robots, tools, electric motors
  • Facility systems: elevators, cranes, conveyor belts, HVAC, lighting, ITC equipment
  • Electricity: main boards and sub-boards, legacy sub-metering retrofitted
  • Gas: boilers, ovens, process heat
  • Water: intake, process, cooling
  • Steam: vortex meters on production and consumption
  • Compressed air: flow and pressure
  • Environment: temperature, humidity, emissions

How a project runs

Seven steps, one team.

Cost and duration depend on the complexity and scale of the site. A pilot on a few sites comes first.

1

Site survey

Meters, boards, signals, networks and constraints on site.

2

Solution build

The configuration: meters, sensors, cabinets, network, platform.

3

Design, assembly and configuration

Cabinets built and devices configured for your site.

4

Live testing in the BOX2M lab

Everything runs in our lab and test cloud before it ships.

5

Installation

By a specialised technician, without stopping production or supply.

6

Commissioning and acceptance

Live data checked against your meters, alarms tested.

7

Life-cycle support

Monitoring of the devices themselves, updates and changes.
