Energy monitoring system
See where every kilowatt-hour goes, and how many go into each unit.
Which line, which plant, which compressor is driving the bill?
Proxus reads the energy meters and analyzers you already have, together with the production counters, and shows consumption by meter, line and plant, energy per unit produced and your self-generated share, live. No monthly meter readings typed into a spreadsheet.

Three questions an energy manager asks, answered from the meters themselves.
Where does the electricity go?
From the grid, CHP and solar to each plant and line on one diagram, with the month’s consumption, the grid import and the self-generated share above it. Daily use per meter shows which area is climbing.
- Supply and use from meter readings
- Self-generated share of solar and CHP
- Daily kWh per meter, line and utility
How much electricity does each unit take?
Electricity per 1,000 units produced, day by day, for each plant, next to the month’s CO₂. When the same product starts to take more energy, you see the day it changed, not the next invoice.
- kWh per 1,000 units, per plant
- Plants compared on the same measure
- CO₂ calculated with your emission factors
Is compressed air wasting power?
The compressors’ power per m³/min of air, hour by hour, and the lowest header pressure in the network. A rising kW per m³/min, or pressure set higher than the plant needs, shows up while it is still costing money.
- kW per m³/min, hour by hour, per plant
- Lowest header pressure
- Peaks and night-time load in plain view

Real Proxus screens; the energy data shown is simulated.
In your plant
With the meters you have, on your own servers.
-
The meters you already have
Energy analyzers and meters are read over Modbus and the other industrial protocols, with ready register maps for common Schneider Electric, ABB, Siemens and Eastron meters.
-
Energy next to production
Production counters come from the same PLCs, so energy per unit is calculated from measured values, not estimated.
-
Your data stays with you
Runs on your own servers. Sending data to a cloud is optional.
-
Plants side by side
Every plant is measured the same way, so their consumption and energy per unit can be compared on one screen.
-
Data for ISO 50001
An energy baseline, energy performance indicators such as kWh per unit, and use by significant energy user, from measured data.
-
The energy report comes to you
Delivered by email at the time you set.
How you start
Start with one plant’s main meters.
Pick the incomer and the biggest consumers: compressors, chillers, ovens, the busiest line. We list those meters and the production counters with you; once they are live, the same setup moves to the remaining meters and plants.
- We list the meters and counters together
- The first meters go live and energy per unit is on screen
- The same setup moves to the other meters and plants
Starter · one Edge Gateway
From $5,500 / year
- Unlimited users and dashboards
- No per-meter fees
- Runs on your own servers
An annual licence. The price follows the number of Edge Gateways and the data capacity you choose, not meters. Excluding taxes.
Request a pilot call Pricing in detail- Do we need new meters?
- Usually not. Most energy analyzers and meters already speak Modbus or another industrial protocol. Where a feeder has no meter, we look at adding one with you before the pilot.
- Can it show energy per unit produced?
- Yes. Proxus reads the production counters from your PLCs alongside the meters and divides one by the other, per day and per plant, or per line where the line has its own meter.
- Does it help with ISO 50001?
- Proxus does not certify you. It gives you the measured data the standard asks for: an energy baseline, energy performance indicators such as kWh per unit, and consumption by significant energy use, kept as history you can show an auditor.
- Where does our data live, and can it reach our ERP?
- On your own servers; a cloud connection is optional. Energy values can be delivered to your ERP, BI or sustainability reporting tool through a database, a message broker or a REST endpoint.
- How is it priced?
- Pricing starts from $5,500 a year (Starter, one Edge Gateway). The price follows the number of Edge Gateways and the data capacity, not meters or tags; users and dashboards are unlimited.
