Every site. Every asset. Every SKU.
Attribute energy to SKUs, shifts, or production lines.
Busroot connects using industrial-grade hardware to give you accurate, real-time energy data - from site-wide usage down to a single machine or product.
No delays. No estimates. Just data you can trust.
Support Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting. B Corp-ready.
Why it matters
Track what’s being used. Understand where it’s going.
Live energy data from every machine, line, and site – no blind spots or guesswork.
Attribute energy use to assets, shifts, or SKUs. Drive ownership across teams.
Spot anomalies early. Act on facts, not assumptions.
Use real data to cut waste, lower costs, and meet emissions targets.
What it does
Track when downtime occurs.
Understand why it happened.
Energy consumption
See exactly how and when energy is used—track idle time, shift patterns, and process inefficiencies with precision.
Understand average power use
Know which machines are energy-hungry. Spot inefficiencies, rising costs or early signs of failure - before they hit your bottom line.
Energy trend analysis
Spot usage patterns, uncover inefficiencies, and track the impact of changes over time—all in one view.
Energy usage, broken down by output
Track energy use per unit and per hour - see what it really costs to produce, in real time.
FAQs
Everything you need to know to get started.
What types of machines or assets can Busroot monitor for energy usage?
Busroot is hardware-agnostic and works with a wide range of industrial equipment. We can monitor energy use across legacy machines, modern production assets, and facility infrastructure - giving you full visibility across your operation.
How is energy data collected - do I need new hardware?
We integrate with your existing infrastructure where possible (e.g. smart meters, PLCs, or CT clamps). Where needed, we can provide approved metering hardware to ensure accurate, real-time monitoring with minimal disruption.
Can Busroot track both power and energy consumption?
Yes. Busroot captures real-time power (kW) and cumulative energy consumption (kWh), allowing you to monitor trends, peaks, idle time, and total usage.
What types of energy and utilities can Busroot monitor?
We can monitor multiple utilities, including:
- Electricity
- Gas
- Water
- Compressed air
- Steam
This gives you a complete view of your plant’s energy footprint - not just electrical loads.
Can Busroot monitor non-industrial assets like air conditioning or HVAC systems?
Yes. We can monitor non-production assets such as HVAC, chillers, lighting, and other facility systems. These assets can account for a significant portion of site-wide energy costs, making them key to understanding and reducing total consumption.
Can I see energy use per product or production line?
Absolutely. Busroot attributes energy consumption to individual machines, production lines, jobs, SKUs, or shifts - giving you real-time cost per unit and per production hour.
How accurate is your energy attribution?
We combine precise metering data with real-time production context to deliver highly accurate attribution. Our method is designed to align closely with how your factory actually runs.
Can I benchmark energy use across sites or shifts?
Yes. Busroot makes it easy to compare energy performance between teams, shifts, or facilities - so you can identify best practices and areas for improvement.
Will energy monitoring help reduce my energy costs?
Yes. By identifying inefficiencies such as unnecessary idle time, power-hungry processes, and unbalanced loads, Busroot helps you take targeted action to reduce consumption and lower costs.
Can Busroot help with ESG and carbon reporting?
Definitely. With energy attributed to specific assets or product lines, you can calculate Scope 2 emissions, track improvement over time, and generate auditable data for ESG and net zero reporting.
How quickly will I see a return on investment?
Many customers identify opportunities to reduce energy waste within weeks. ROI is often achieved within a few months through improved efficiency, process changes, or behaviour-based interventions.
Will this require training or extra admin work for my team?
No. Busroot is built to be intuitive and works with your existing workflows. Most data capture is automated, and operators only need to provide minimal context where relevant.
Can I export or integrate the energy data with other systems?
Yes. All energy data can be exported for analysis or integrated via API with your ERP, MES, or sustainability platform
“We’re utilising data from Busroot through Excel and pivot tables, reviewing it weekly. In those meetings, we identify the biggest offenders and tackle the problem. This results in improved efficiency.”
