Every kilowatt-hour.
In real time. Automatically.

Alligator monitors your energy consumption without gaps — from the main transformer down to an individual machine. Deviations are detected and reported immediately, not discovered in the next energy report.

  • ✓ Second-level resolution – peak loads and anomalies are never averaged out
  • ✓ Automatic alerting via email, SMS or webhook on threshold breach
  • ✓ All energy types – electricity, gas, heat, compressed air, water in one view
  • ✓ Historical comparisons – prior year, prior week, custom time ranges
  • ✓ Granularity down to machine level – shopfloor transparency without IT overhaul

KPIs that actually mean something

Absolute consumption figures lie. Only when normalised by production output, weather, or operating hours does efficiency become comparable. Alligator automatically calculates all ISO 50001-compliant EnPIs — and identifies best performers without manual analysis.

  • ✓ Unlimited EnPIs – kWh/t, kWh/m², kWh/unit, CO₂/unit and more
  • ✓ Automatic normalisation by production output, weather, capacity utilisation
  • ✓ Site and machine comparison – best-case identification at the press of a button
  • ✓ ERP integration – production counts, batches and operating data directly from SAP & co.
  • ✓ Baseline comparison per ISO 50006 – cleanly documenting the impact of measures

The platform works.
You decide.

Intelligent Alerting

Define thresholds, deviation tolerances and time windows. Alligator notifies the right people — at the right time, on the right channel.

  • ✓ Absolute and relative thresholds
  • ✓ Email, SMS, Teams, Webhook
  • ✓ Shift and calendar rules (weekends, public holidays)
  • ✓ Escalation chains if no response
  • ✓ Alert history & acknowledgement log for audits

Automated Reporting

From the weekly production summary to the ISO 50001 management review: Alligator generates all reports fully automatically and delivers them on schedule.

  • ✓ Templates for management review & energy audit
  • ✓ PDF, Excel and API export
  • ✓ Automatic scheduled delivery
  • ✓ CSRD- and ISO 50001-compliant
  • ✓ Individual report templates per recipient
→ Use Cases

Concrete savings potential.
Calculated. Proven.

Alligator makes waste visible — in euros and kilowatt-hours. The following use cases show typical savings that our customers have unlocked with the platform.

Production

Switch Off Machine Standby

Heatmap analysis identifies machines drawing power for hydraulics, heating or electronics during breaks and overnight — with no productive output.

€40,000 / year
Payback: immediate · Manufacturing, Metal
Compressed Air

Compressed Air Leak Detection

Software detects compressed air consumption at standstill. 15 identified leaks at €2,500 each cost companies a five-figure sum annually — unnoticed.

€37,500 / year
Payback: < 1 month · Industry
Process

Shift Comparison & Best Practice

Transparent dashboards reveal: Shift A consumes significantly more energy per unit than Shift B. Best-practice transfer raises the standard across all shifts.

€37,500 / year
Payback: immediate · Multi-shift operations
Costs

Peak Load Capping

Short-term peaks set the capacity charge for the entire year. Real-time warnings before threshold breach and identification of the root cause save money permanently.

€5,200 / year
Payback: 6 months · Supermarkets, Industry
HVAC / Climate

Simultaneous Heating & Cooling

Heating and air conditioning run against each other due to hysteresis faults. Temperature trend analysis instantly exposes these hidden control errors.

€22,500 / year
Payback: immediate · Office, Labs
Management

Base Load Analysis

Nobody knows what the plant consumes at night. Baseline profiling reveals the absolute minimum and uncovers "always-on" loads — transformers, fans, forgotten systems.

€10,950 / year
Payback: immediate · All industries
Maintenance

Anomaly Detection (Predictive)

Faults announce themselves through changes in current draw patterns. AI-assisted anomaly detection warns of total failures — before production comes to a standstill.

€20,000 risk avoided
Payback: 1.5 months · All with machinery
Compliance

ISO 50001 & CSRD Reporting

Manual effort for energy reports and audits costs weeks. Automated report export saves 2+ weeks of staff time per year — and makes audits practically automatic.

€5,000 staff costs / year
Payback: immediate · Energy-intensive operations
