Energy Consumption Optimiser

About Energy Consumption Optimiser

The Problem

Australian manufacturers face rising energy costs and increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. But most factories have limited visibility into where energy is actually being consumed. Equipment runs during peak tariff periods when it could run off-peak. Machines idle at full power between production runs. HVAC systems operate at the same settings regardless of occupancy or weather. The result is an energy bill higher than it needs to be, with no clear picture of where waste is coming from.

How It Works

The Energy Consumption Optimiser connects to your building management systems, SCADA, and power monitoring equipment to track energy usage at the equipment level, not just the site level. It maps consumption against production output, identifying which processes are energy-intensive relative to their output and which are running inefficiently. It analyses tariff structures and recommends shifting flexible loads to off-peak periods. It identifies equipment that draws excessive power during idle states and suggests operational changes, sequencing start-ups, adjusting HVAC schedules, or flagging machinery consuming more energy than expected (often an early indicator of mechanical problems).

Lower Costs, Lower Emissions

Energy optimisation delivers both cost savings and progress toward sustainability goals. The detailed consumption data also strengthens your position when negotiating energy contracts and supports Australian emissions reporting requirements. If you want a clearer picture of where your energy spend is going, our data processing team can connect your monitoring systems into a unified view.
