Cutting Energy Costs

Midwest Precision Metal

A 40-person job shop outside Indianapolis with 12 machines and a $264K annual electricity bill. After FabricateIQ sensors were installed, key discoveries within 30 days revealed the TRUMPF 3030 was consuming 38% more energy per cut-hour than the newer 5030, a press brake was idling 4.2 hours/shift, and peak demand spikes hit every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:15 AM.

Achieving Sustainability Goals

Summit Fabrication Group

3 fabrication facilities across Ohio and Pennsylvania employing 180 people, running Amada, Bystronic, Mazak, and LVD equipment. A major aerospace OEM required quarterly Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions data with a 15% reduction roadmap. Manual calculations from utility bills were unreliable — FabricateIQ provided machine-level energy and carbon data across all facilities within 60 days.

22.5%
Total Energy Reduction
18%
Carbon Emissions Cut

Less Unplanned Downtime
  • Passed rigorous aerospace OEM supplier audits with verified data
  • Identified 3 machines responsible for 35% of total emissions
  • Predictive alerts caught Mazak spindle & Amada laser failures early

"

I think my machine runs 80% of the time" (reality: ~45%)

"

My machine is on but not cutting — what is that costing me?

"

Put a dollar number on my wasted idle time

"

My electric bill spikes every month and I don't know why

"

Tell me exactly how much I can save on demand charges
