Industrial energy management
Industrial energy management software that finds the waste.
FrostLogic Explore reads the meters, BMS and sensors your plant already has, and returns one ranked queue: where energy is being wasted, what it costs, and what to fix first.

The problem
Production gets the attention. Energy pays for it.
In most plants, energy is the line item somebody checks at invoice time. Meanwhile the compressed-air system leaks all weekend, the ovens sit at temperature between shifts, and the meters that could have said so log data nobody reads.
Industrial energy management software should close that gap, but most of it stops at charts: a portal from the utility, a dashboard per site, a spreadsheet that dies when its owner changes jobs. FrostLogic Explore reads the meters, BMS and sensors you already run, grounds every reading in the physics of the site, and returns one ranked queue of energy waste, priced.
Nothing new gets installed in the typical plant. Explore connects read-only over the protocols your systems already speak, and the first findings land in the first week.

Across the plant
Your site, at a glance.
What it does
From meter data to a ranked queue.
Waste detection, running continuously
Six detection methods watch your meter and sensor data around the clock. The compressed-air leak that only shows at 2am, the oven idling at temperature through a shift change, the chiller fighting the outside air: each surfaces ranked by what it costs.
Forecasts with confidence bounds
Load and consumption forecasts per site and per system, checked against the physics. Plan production windows and energy purchasing on numbers that state their own uncertainty.
Benchmarking across sites
Like-for-like comparison shows which plants underperform and by how much money. The roll-up reaches the board deck; the drill-down reaches the valve that caused it.
What-if, before you touch anything
Setpoint and schedule changes get simulated against the site's model first. Test the night setback on the model, not on Monday's production.
The everyday industrial energy waste, found in the data your plant already collects and ranked by what it costs.
The difference
How plants track energy today vs. one ranked queue.
| How plants track energy today | FrostLogic Explore | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | A utility portal per meter, a dashboard per system | Every meter, BMS and sensor in one model |
| Detection | Surprises at invoice time | Continuous, six methods |
| Prioritisation | The biggest number on the bill | The highest-value fix first |
| Idle-hour waste | Invisible between shifts | Flagged and priced |
| Evidence | Screenshots and spreadsheets | Data-backed findings, export anytime |
| Hardware | A submetering project first | Reads what's already installed |
At a glance
Built to read the plant, not rebuild it.
No rip-and-replace, and no new field hardware in the typical plant. Explore connects read-only over the protocols your systems already speak, processes data in the EU, and returns its first findings within the first week. Adding a site is a connection, not a project.
How it works
Read the plant, reason, rank the fixes.
01 · Read
Every system in the plant
Explore connects to your meters, BMS and sensors over OPC UA, Modbus, BACnet or vendor APIs. Read-only. Nothing new installed in the common case.
02 · Reason
Grounded in the site's physics
The FrostDynamics engine grounds each signal in the site's physics, then weighs findings against each other. It cites the data it used and invents nothing.
03 · Rank
One queue for the plant
One queue for the plant, or the whole estate: what to fix, where, and the cost of waiting.
Before you ask
Industrial energy management software, the questions we get.
Software that reads the energy data an industrial site already produces, meter readings, BMS points, sensor feeds, and turns it into decisions: where the waste is, what it costs, and what to fix first. The monitoring part is table stakes. The ranking is what saves money.
No. Explore starts with whatever metering and sensing you have and finds what's visible there, which is usually plenty. More metering sharpens the picture later; it isn't the price of entry.
No. It connects read-only and never writes to your systems. Recommendations come with the evidence behind them, and your team makes the change. What-if simulation runs in the model, never on live equipment.
Usually, yes. Explore reads OPC UA and Modbus, which covers most industrial systems, plus BACnet, MQTT and M-Bus. If your setup speaks something else, tell us what it runs and we build the connector, typically in under a week.
One. Explore normalises mixed sites into a single model and ranks findings across all of them, so the leak in plant 2 competes with the schedule fault in plant 5 on cost, not on who shouts loudest.
In the EU. Managed SaaS runs on Hetzner's ISO 27001 data centres, GDPR-native, or you self-host in your own Kubernetes cluster. The platform processes site and sensor data only, no PII.
