Illustrative scenario
Three factories, one unit of production, one outlier
Illustrative scenario, representative of common industrial IoT applications
Energy & electricityManufacturing: Automotive, Plastics & Rubber
Same product, same equipment, and one factory used about 40% more energy per unit.
A manufacturer with three factories
How it went.
Every study on this site runs the same four beats, in the same order.
01
Alert
Three factories making the same product reported three different energy bills, and nobody could say whether the difference was production volume or waste.
02
Cost
~40% more energy per unit. Factory 2 vs. the two comparable sites, normalized to production.
03
Fix
Identical metering points at each site · Production-count input for normalization · A shared cross-site dashboard view
04
Restored
One normalized number that ranks the sites

The problem
Three factories making the same product reported three different energy bills, and nobody could say whether the difference was production volume or waste.
What would be installed
- Identical metering points at each site
- Production-count input for normalization
- A shared cross-site dashboard view
What changes
Before: Three bills that could not be compared After: One normalized number that ranks the sites
The number
~40% more energy per unit. Factory 2 vs. the two comparable sites, normalized to production. Illustrative scenario, not a client result. Figure is representative, not measured.
In one line
Benchmarking only works when the denominator is real. Metering supplies the denominator.

Night setback that never happened
A distribution warehouse
The overnight setback had silently stopped working, and it was worth about a third of the load.
