Control Energy Consumption.
Increase Energy Savings.Smart connected products can generate real-time data and insights that deliver concrete
energy savings through smart, data-driven energy management practices.
Energy Savings Starts with Better Visibility
Across almost any type of industrial operation, energy-inefficient products and systems quietly burn operating cash. Yet, product makers and their customers rarely have the visibility to pinpoint where waste is occurring, let alone the ability to control and reduce it.
How Connecting Your Products Drives Energy Savings
Smart connected products close this visibility gap by continuously monitoring how equipment consumes power and where inefficiencies arise. They transform raw operational data into real-time insights that reveal patterns of waste, identify failing components, and highlight opportunities to optimize energy use. With this intelligence, both you and your customers can take informed, proactive action to reduce energy consumption and improve performance.
Energy Savings Can Make Your Business More Profitable
For anyone who builds and sells commercial equipment, this creates a downstream business opportunity to provide your customers (or your own operations!) with products that are smarter, more efficient, and cheaper to operate so that they can reap concrete energy savings benefits.
Why Energy Management Matters: Inefficient Energy Use Drains Performance and Profitability
When your products operate blind, you and your customers are forced into guesswork: batteries that drain too quickly, equipment that runs harder than necessary, and production lines that aren’t synchronized for efficiency.
Energy waste rarely shows up as a single problem. It can be spread across an entire operation:
- Shortened battery and equipment lifespan: Inefficient power draw, improper charging cycles, and overuse accelerate component wear and replacement costs.
- Excessive fuel consumption: Without insights into how equipment behaves under load, customers often run machines in high-burn conditions longer than needed, consuming more fuel and potentially shortening equipment lifetime.
- Factory inefficiencies that compound: Poor line balancing, unsynchronized machinery, and power spikes drive up utility costs and reduce factory output.
- Unpredictable downtime: Energy-related failures like overheating, voltage anomalies, and power drops all cause disruptions that are expensive to diagnose and even more expensive to fix.
- Sustainability and compliance gaps: Without data, customers can struggle to meet emissions standards, energy reporting requirements, and internal ESG goals.
How Connecting Your Products Drives Energy Savings
Smart connected products can transform energy management from reactive guesswork into a proactive, smart, data-driven system:
Real-time monitoring and alerting
Continuously track battery health, power consumption, voltage fluctuations, and fuel use so you and your customers know exactly where energy is being wasted.
AI-powered optimization
Machine learning models identify opportunities for energy savings and deliver real-time operating instructions. All while generating new guidance for best practices that yield the most energy savings.
Automated energy controls
Implement data-driven rules that manage power draw, optimize battery charging, or shift loads throughout the day to reduce peaks and lower utility fees.
Remote management
Adjust settings, throttle consumption, rebalance factory lines, or update firmware remotely. All without rolling a truck or disrupting operations.
Put these together and you and your customers can take advantage of proactive energy management – a smarter, more reliable, cost-efficient way to reduce energy consumption and deliver energy savings.
Energy Savings Can Make Your Business More Profitable
When your smart connected product helps customers lower their energy consumption, you’re doing more than cutting costs – you’re delivering a better product experience and stronger business outcomes.
More efficient operations
Optimized power usage means lower energy bills, longer component life, and fewer unplanned failures.
Higher product value
When your equipment lasts longer and costs less to run, customers notice the difference.
Reduced downtime
Predictive insights prevent energy-related failures and power anomalies that halt operations.
Stronger customer loyalty
Better performance leads to happier customers, less churn, and more repeat business.
New revenue opportunities
Energy insights open the door to premium services, performance guarantees, and differentiated product tiers.
When your connected product helps customers turn actual losses into actual profits, you’ve got a phenomenal value proposition. You’ll be in a position of strength to price your offering accordingly.
