The Problem

Energy is your biggest
invisible cost driver

In manufacturing companies and multi-site networks, energy losses go unnoticed – during off-hours, through inefficient processes or lack of cross-site transparency. Without a structured energy management system, the potential remains untapped.

✗ Energy data from multiple sources – not consolidated
✗ Consumption peaks only noticed when the bill arrives
✗ ISO 50001 requirements nearly impossible to meet without software
✗ No cross-site benchmarking possible
✗ BAFA funding left unclaimed

→ How It Works

From Measurement to
Savings – in 5 Steps

Many ask: How do monitoring and energy management connect? Here is the complete process.

1 · Meter

Meter or sensor sends data – M-Bus, Modbus, LoRaWAN

2 · Gateway

Alligator hardware collects and transmits encrypted

3 · Platform

Real-time processing, EnPI calculation, anomaly detection

4 · Alert

Energy manager receives immediate notification on deviation

5 · Savings

Identified potential is implemented – permanently measurable

Typical Real-World Example

At a manufacturing plant in NRW, after 4 weeks of monitoring we discovered: compressors were running 60% of the time outside operating hours. After targeted shutdown automation, savings reached €23,000/year – with an investment that paid back in under 8 months.

The Solution

One platform. Any infrastructure.
Measurable results.

No replacement of existing metering equipment. No vendor lock-in. We integrate with what you already have – and deliver transparency immediately.

Universal Compatibility

Connects to any metering hardware, communication protocol and IT infrastructure. OPC-UA, Modbus, M-Bus, KNX, proprietary protocols – all supported.

Hardware & Protocols →

24/7 Real-Time Monitoring

Automated monitoring around the clock. Deviations from normal behaviour are detected immediately – with configurable alerts via email, SMS or directly into your control system.

Unlimited EnPIs & KPIs

Define unlimited energy performance indicators (EnPIs), normalise them (weather, production output) and automatically identify best-case baselines. ISO 50001-compliant from the outset.

Highly Scalable & Customisable

From a single production site to a multi-site network with 200+ locations – the platform grows with you. Dashboards and reports configured exactly to your requirements.

Data Engineering & Integration

Clean data pipelines, automated data quality checks and integration with ERP systems (SAP & others). Your energy data flows reliably – without manual intervention.
