The challenge
- Unplanned stoppages, and what each one costs the business.
- Energy spread across motors, boilers, compressors and generators, with no single view of which runs when, or why.
- Shift and runtime patterns that differ from the plant's rated capability.
- Operational data held in PLC, SCADA and historian systems that few people can easily use.
Systems and assets we assess
- Motors and drives
- Boilers and thermal systems
- Air compressors
- Generators used for normal supply (prime power or co-generation)
- Pumps
- Fans and blowers
- Chillers and cooling systems
- Refrigeration
- Process or production-line equipment
- Other
Standby and backup generators are asked about separately. Approximate figures are fine at the start.
The scope comes first
You decide what the assessment covers. A price, a baseline and any agreement run on the agreed scope only, and a part of a plant is never presented as the whole plant.
Advisory first, and read-only
An assessment reads what your plant already records and does not change it. Where a site requires it, the connection stays read-only and advisory first, and the rules of the site come first: no production stoppage, no controller replacement, and your operators keep the tools they use. Whether a connection is possible, who grants access and how the control network is protected are questions the assessment asks; it does not assume the answers.
What we ask you for
- Your electricity bills, or a consumption export, for the most recent 24 complete consecutive months, and the electricity rate per kWh.
- The site layout, and one-line or metering diagrams if you have them.
- Which kinds of major equipment are inside the boundary. An equipment list helps if you have one; an engineer records quantities, ratings and runtime on site.
- Which industrial controls you have (PLC, DCS, MES or another). An engineer reads the makers and the protocols they offer on site.
- Your real production pattern: shifts, days a week, hours a day and any seasonal peak or shutdown.
- Downtime or stoppage records, and what an unplanned stoppage costs the business, if you keep them.
- Any change-control process, and the rules any work must respect.
None of this has to be complete to begin. "Not sure" is a real answer, and you can submit with information still pending. A quotation is prepared once the applicable information has been provided and accepted.
How it works
Step 1
Initial Qualification
A short set of questions about the site. Every question about the plant is optional, and "Not sure" is a real answer.
Step 2
A Bookallil Advisor contacts you
Within 3 business days of your assessment.
Step 3
The full assessment
You can save it and come back to it, upload what you have, and leave anything you cannot answer yet pending. Pending information never stops you submitting.
Step 4
A quotation
It is prepared once the applicable information has been provided and accepted. A part of a plant is never quoted as the whole plant.
One industrial site
This describes one industrial manufacturing site. It is here to show the kind of site and scope an assessment looks at, not to set an expectation for any other plant.
The site
A manufacturing site in Southeast Asia with plant controls and motors, boilers, compressors and generators. The connected scope was on the utilities side. The approach was advisory first and read-only: no production stoppage, no controller replacement, and the operators' existing tools unchanged.
