Value That You Need to Unlock:

Greater insights into production use of energy, gas, and/ or analog signals:

• Use enough energy, gas, or other resources to care about their consumption — amount, timing, rate of change (e.g., inrush), or cost
• Can make changes to your resource use
• Don’t have sufficient resolution/ visibility to or insights about resource consumption today
• (Optionally) may need batch-level or live carbon footprint data

And/ or improved uptime and OEE, i.e., reduce reactive downtime:

• At risk of reactive downtime
• Unwilling to live with business consequences of reactive downtime
• Can’t invest in sufficient proactive maintenance and spare part inventory to prevent reactive downtime today

How can You minimize the costs of installing Watt Window?

Watt Window is modular.

You can start with the part that delivers the fastest ROI and then add to it over time, as you see more opportunities (and the solution proves its value).

The only part of Watt Window that you truly must install at the outset is the solution core. It’s what allows the sensors at your site to communicate with our cloud and offer you insights to you.

But beyond that, it comes down to your preference, and we can help you understand the pros and cons:

• Prefer to work with your installer once, and tackle everything in one swoop? Great!
• Want to start small and add over time? Just as possible!
• Want to install the Watt Window Energy Monitoring system at first and then add optional functionality for inrush optimization or improvement recommendations later? Yes, that works too!

is it Hard to get started with Watt Window?

In a word: No.

In a few more words: We pride ourselves on offering “The Easy Button” for energy insights. We have worked hard to make Watt Window easy to use.

For example:

• No configuration needed by individual users. Configuration only needed once per site by your assigned internal Watt Window Champion, via a simple drag-and-drop menu.
• Routes represent your real-world facility. Optionally, overlay our nodes over an image or diagram of the site to add a visual reference.
• No advanced analytics skills needed to understand the tool’s insights. If someone understand your facility’s operation, then they also understand what Watt Window tells them about it. (Even our non-technical COO managed to make sense of it.)

Will Your stakeholders approve of Watt Window?

We designed the solution to make life easier for any team at your company whose job relates to understanding or measuring what you make.

Some examples:

• Accounting and finance teams — Watt Window’s data resolution improvements help you better understand the true cost of operations at a detailed level. That way, you can produce better earnings forecasts and more easily optimize costs, prices, and profits by product, customer, order, or batch.
• Compliance teams — We help you to comply with carbon reporting rules that your customers or regulators have set (e.g., Scope 3 emission reporting requirements or the EU’s and UK’s incoming CBAM rules). Watt Window does that by giving you detailed, trackable data on the carbon implications of your power usage for each job or batch, for you to use as credible inputs for your compliance reporting.
• Executive decision makers — Watt Window offers fast return on investment, both in terms of costs and in terms of uptime, OEE, and predictive maintenance.
• Machine operators — Watt Window offers detailed, near-live insights for you to improve uptime, usage, run-rate, and the health of systems or motors that you monitor.
• Sustainability teams — We help you to document and prove the carbon improvements that you achieve by giving you the data for before vs. after comparisons. That way, you can show that you are making true progress, not just “greenwashing.”
