    Quick Answer

    NeoBram deploys AI energy optimization that learns each plant's energy signature and recommends real-time setpoint, scheduling and tariff actions - typically cutting energy spend 8-20% with payback in 6-12 months.

    Why This Matters

    Energy Is the Easiest Cost Lever You're Not Pulling.

    Energy is often the 2nd or 3rd biggest cost in a manufacturing plant, behind raw materials and labour. Yet most plants still run on static setpoints and tariff-blind scheduling.

    AI can do what humans can't: continuously balance hundreds of setpoints against weather, production schedule, tariff windows and equipment efficiency curves.

    We deploy energy AI that integrates with your historian, EMS and ERP - advisory at first, then closed-loop on safe systems (compressed air, HVAC, chillers). Savings are measured and ESG-reported, not estimated.

    How We Build It

    Real-time setpoint advice

    ML models recommend optimal setpoints for chillers, compressors, boilers and HVAC every few minutes, based on production load, weather and tariff.

    • Compressed air pressure optimization
    • Chiller plant sequencing and supply temp
    • Boiler combustion air ratio
    • HVAC setback during low-occupancy windows

    Load forecasting & demand response

    Forecasts plant electricity demand 15-min to 24-hour ahead - used for peak-shaving, demand charge avoidance and demand response participation.

    • Per-circuit demand forecast with confidence
    • Peak-shaving recommendations
    • Tariff-aware production rescheduling
    • Demand response event readiness

    Closed-loop control on safe systems

    Where appropriate, moves from advisory to closed-loop on systems with low safety risk - compressed air, HVAC, chiller plant sequencing.

    • Tested and validated control envelopes
    • Operator override always available
    • Audit trail of every control action
    • Fail-safe to last-known-good setpoint

    ESG & ISO 50001 reporting

    Measured-and-verified savings, Scope 1/2 emissions reductions, and EnMS evidence for ISO 50001.

    • M&V to IPMVP Option B / C
    • Auto-generated monthly ESG dashboards
    • ISO 50001 EnMS evidence pack
    • Baseline drift detection
