Utility Monitoring
Steam, power and water — attributed to each batch, not smeared across the month.
Utilities are consumed per batch but almost always tracked per month, so overuse hides inside overhead until it is too late to act. PlantIQ allocates steam, power and water to each individual batch and turns energy from a fixed cost into a lever.
Utility overrun is a margin leak you can't see
A batch that ran 9% over target on steam looks identical to a clean batch in the monthly utility bill — the cost is real but the attribution is gone. Across a year of batches that leak compounds into lakhs of rupees that never appear against any specific product. PlantIQ ends the smearing: every unit of steam, power and water lands against the batch that consumed it.
True cost-per-kg, finally
Once utilities are allocated per batch, the real unit economics of each product surface. You can see that a particular product carries a heavier energy load, that a slower shift burns more steam for the same output, or that a specific reactor is quietly expensive. These are the levers a promoter actually wants — not a lump utility figure at month-end.
From overhead to managed cost
When utility cost is visible per batch, it becomes something operators and supervisors can respond to in real time: a steam-temperature variance flagged at the reactor inlet, a power draw trending above spec. PlantIQ surfaces these as they happen, so the response is a correction on the floor rather than a line item in a review.
Frequently asked
How does PlantIQ track utility cost per batch?
PlantIQ maps steam, power and water consumption to each individual batch — from meter, DCS/SCADA or manual entry — and converts it to rupee cost, giving you utility cost and true cost-per-kg for every product.
Do I need sub-meters on every utility?
Sub-metering improves precision, but PlantIQ also works with existing meter readings and manual shift entry, then tightens accuracy as more data and automated feeds come online.
Which plants is this for?
Mid-sized chemical and pharma plants (roughly ₹25–500 Cr revenue) in Gujarat's industrial corridor — Ankleshwar, Vapi, Vadodara, Dahej — running on a mix of old and new infrastructure.
