The Challenge

Energy Waste Is Costing You Thousands

Most facilities run equipment continuously without visibility into actual power draw, idle time, or peak demand — and the utility bill reflects it.

Full-Speed Dust Collectors

Running a 25 HP dust collector at full speed for a single active tool wastes thousands per year. No way to match collector speed to actual demand.

No Per-Machine Visibility

No real-time data on per-machine energy consumption. Impossible to identify which tools or zones are consuming the most power.

Idle Machines Running

Equipment left running with no load consumes power with zero production output. That's margin going straight to your utility company.

Peak Demand Charges

Utility companies spike your bill when you hit peak demand in any single interval. Running everything at once multiplies those charges.

No Energy Cost Allocation

Energy costs can't be assigned to specific departments, zones, or jobs. Energy is invisible in your costing model — you're budgeting blind.

No Data for ROI Decisions

Efficiency improvements stay on the table because there's no data to prove payback. You can't justify what you can't measure.

The Solution

Monitor Everything. Waste Nothing.

GRIT Energy Management gives you per-machine power visibility and automated optimization tools. See exactly where energy goes — then stop wasting it.

Real-Time Monitoring

See Exactly Where Power Goes.

Triggers snap onto each machine's power line and report real-time watts consumed. The dashboard aggregates everything into a facility-wide energy picture — per machine, per zone, per shift.

  • Per-machine power draw monitoring
  • Zone-based energy grouping
  • Real-time facility dashboard
  • Historical trend analysis
  • Anomaly detection alerts
  • Shift-based consumption tracking
Automated Optimization

Cut Waste. Automatically.

Integrate with VFDs to match collector speed to actual demand. Auto-detect idle machines. Stagger startup sequences to flatten peak demand spikes. Watch your utility bills drop.

  • VFD speed control integration
  • Idle machine auto-shutdown rules
  • Peak demand load balancing
  • Startup stagger scheduling
  • Energy cost allocation by zone
  • Monthly ROI savings reports
Data Drives Savings

When you can see exactly where power goes, every wasted watt becomes an opportunity. Facilities typically find 15–25% in energy savings within the first quarter.

Step by Step

How It Works

01
Install Triggers

Snap a Trigger onto each machine's power line. No rewiring, no electrician. The Trigger monitors real-time power draw and reports to the Hub.

02
Connect to Hub

The GRIT Hub collects data from every Trigger on your local network. No cloud dependency — your energy data stays in your building.

03
See the Full Picture

Dashboard shows per-machine power draw, zone totals, and facility-wide consumption in real time. Identify waste at a glance.

04
Detect Idle Equipment

System automatically flags machines drawing power with no production load. Set rules to alert operators or shut down idle equipment.

05
Optimize Speed

Integrate with VFDs to dial dust collector speed to match actual demand. One active tool doesn't need 25 HP of airflow.

06
Track & Report

Monthly reports show energy saved, cost allocation by zone, and ROI on efficiency improvements. Data you can take to management.

Capabilities

Built for Production. Built to Save.

Real-Time Power Monitoring

Per-machine energy visibility shows exactly where power is consumed, second by second. No guessing.

Idle Detection & Auto-Shutdown

Automatically flag machines drawing power with no load. Set rules to alert operators or shut down idle equipment.

VFD Speed Control

Integrate with variable frequency drives to match dust collector speed to actual tool demand in real time.

Peak Demand Management

Identify demand spikes and stagger startup sequences to flatten peak windows that inflate utility bills.

Zone-Based Monitoring

Group machines by zone, department, or production line. Track and compare energy consumption across your facility.

Energy Cost Allocation

Assign energy costs to specific zones, departments, or jobs. Make energy visible in your costing model.

Historical Trend Analysis

Track consumption patterns over weeks and months. Identify seasonal trends and measure improvement over time.

ROI Savings Reports

Monthly dashboards show energy saved, costs avoided, and payback timeline. Data to justify continued investment.

Hardware

The Gear Behind the Solution

Industrial-grade, plug-and-play hardware. Designed and assembled in the USA.

Who It's For

Built for Production Floors

Commercial
Manufacturing & Woodworking

Track power draw per machine across CNC routers, table saws, and dust collectors. Optimize VFD speed to match actual demand. Allocate energy costs to production lines and jobs.

  • Per-machine power monitoring
  • VFD integration for dust collectors
  • Energy cost allocation by job
  • Peak demand charge reduction
Commercial
Warehousing & Distribution

Monitor HVAC, lighting, conveyor systems, and charging stations across zones. Stagger startup sequences to flatten peak demand. Report energy costs per zone for budget allocation.

  • Zone-based consumption tracking
  • Startup stagger scheduling
  • Idle equipment auto-shutdown
  • Monthly savings reporting

Our energy bill dropped 23% in the first quarter after deploying GRIT across all six production zones. The system paid for itself in under four months.
