Every unit of power, accounted to a part.
MachineWise brings the smart multifunction meters on your panels onto the same timeline as production. Every kWh, kVAh, power-factor dip and demand peak is attributed to a machine, a shift and a part, and priced in rupees.
Energy is the only raw material nobody weighs.
One meter for the whole plant
The utility meter says what you spent, never where. Meters per machine turn a bill into a diagnosis.
Power with no product
Heaters holding, hydraulics idling, spindles waiting. Against the machine state, idle energy becomes a managed number.
Charges nobody planned
Poor power factor on kVAh billing and demand peaks from simultaneous start-ups are paid every month, unseen.
What a multifunction meter measures, and what MachineWise does with it.
The meter already knows far more than the monthly kWh reading. MachineWise turns each parameter into a decision.
| Parameter | What it tells you | What MachineWise does with it |
|---|---|---|
| kWh · kVAh | Energy consumed, active and apparent | Energy per good part, per shift and per product; the energy bill split by machine |
| kW · kVA · kVAr | Real, apparent and reactive load, live | Load profile per machine; productive vs idle energy against machine state |
| Power factor | How much of the current does useful work | Low-PF feeders ranked; kVAh billing losses priced; capacitor bank health |
| Maximum demand | Peak load in the billing window | Which machines start together and what that coincidence costs in demand charges |
| Volts · amps per phase | Supply quality and load balance | Phase imbalance and voltage sag flagged before they damage motors and drives |
| THD (voltage, current) | Harmonic distortion from VFDs and rectifiers | Harmonic hotspots found per feeder, before they overheat cables and transformers |
| Frequency · run-hours | Supply stability and operating time | Run-hours for usage-based preventive maintenance; supply events on record |
What does idle energy cost your plant?
Enter your own figures. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Idle draw is what a machine pulls while powered and producing nothing: heaters holding, hydraulics circulating, spindles and coolant waiting. On furnaces, hydraulics and compressors it routinely runs 15–30% of consumption.
What is poor power factor costing you on kVAh billing?
Where the tariff bills apparent energy (kVAh), as many state utilities now do for industrial consumers, every point of power factor below unity is paid for directly. The meter shows which feeders drag it down.
CHECK YOUR OWN TARIFF ORDER: BILLING BASIS DIFFERS BY STATE AND CONSUMER CATEGORY.
Everything an energy monitoring system should answer.
₹ per good part
Energy cost divided by approved output, per machine and product. Kilowatt-hours become a quoting input.
Idle-energy ratio
Units consumed while producing nothing, as a share of the total, per machine.
Demand and power factor
Peaks that set demand charges, and feeders that drag power factor down.
Baseload after hours
What the plant draws at 2 a.m. with nothing running. The cheapest saving in any factory.
Meters to money, in three steps.
Map the meters
The team walks your panels, records which meters exist and where a machine or feeder needs a new one.
Every meter on one timeline
Meters are brought onto MachineWise and aligned with machine states and part counts, on your own server.
Ranked savings in rupees
Machines ranked by recoverable spend, not raw consumption, so effort goes where the money is.
Where this connects to the rest of the platform.
