Plugs into what you have
Existing meters, BMS and SCADA stay where they are. Volts connects to them, retrofits the rest, and starts reading on day one.
Stop paying to heat and light empty halls.
Compare halls, docks, offices and shifts, expose night and weekend baseload, and turn abnormal demand into owned action before it reaches the bill.
TRUSTED BY TEAMS RESPONSIBLE FOR DISTRIBUTED OPERATIONS
COST PER ZONE
Separate halls, docks and clients before comparing cost.
Move beyond the main incomer. Meter the operational zones that follow different shifts or users, then keep shared-yard, office and landlord loads separate from client consumption.
- Map halls, dock areas, offices, cold storage and charging loads where relevant
- Allocate multi-tenant or 3PL energy using a documented meter and commercial rule
- Keep shared and owner loads outside client charges unless the agreement says otherwise
FOLLOW THE SHIFT PLAN
Make the building wind down when the shift ends.
Align high-bay lighting, HVAC and selected support loads to the actual shift plan. Manual override stays available, while exceptions expose the hall that kept running beyond its approved hours.
- Set schedules by hall, dock, shift, season and local operating rule
- Keep cold-chain and safety-critical loads outside generic shut-down logic
- Record every manual, scheduled and automatic state change
FOR HEAD OFFICE
Compare every site on the same operating definitions.
Give head office one view of cost per shift, hall and relevant operational unit. Keep local site detail available, while common KPI definitions stop good and bad performance from averaging together.
- Compare sites on shift pattern, floor area and weather
- Rank after-hours baseload, peaks and unresolved exceptions by commercial impact
- Give each local team its own sites while head office sees the network
ALWAYS WATCHING
Catch the shift-to-building gap at every site.
Volts watches demand, schedules and persistent baseload when local teams are focused on throughput. Each finding names the site, hall, period and next owner.
- Warn when dock, charging or support loads combine into a costly peak
- Flag halls lit, heated or cooled without an approved shift
- Explain network-wide exceptions without a spreadsheet per warehouse
WHY VOLTS
Keep every site running. Standardise the decisions above it.
Connect supported meters and local control, retrofit only the gaps and give every warehouse the same operational language for shifts, cost, exceptions and action.
From meter to invoice
The same platform that reads the meter allocates the cost and issues the tenant invoice. No exports, no spreadsheet in between.
Savings you can audit
Weather-normalised baselines show what changed because of you, not the weather. The numbers hold up in an ISO 50001 audit.
FAQ
Logistics energy matched to real operations.
Can lighting and heating follow our shift plan?
Yes, where the relevant circuits and controls are supported. Schedules follow approved halls and shifts, while local override and safety-critical exclusions remain in force.
How do we monitor cold storage across sites?
Use temperature, electrical and equipment inputs to spot a drift early. Volts does not replace refrigeration safety or statutory monitoring unless explicitly validated.
Can one team monitor sites across the country?
Yes. Head office can see permitted sites in one hierarchy and comparison view; each local team can remain limited to its own facilities.
Can we charge 3PL clients for their energy use?
Yes, where client zones have suitable meters and the contract defines the allocation basis. Each charge can retain the reading, tariff and period behind it.
How are EV or forklift charging peaks handled?
Charging can be monitored and scheduled where the chargers expose an interface. Any peak response must respect operational readiness and equipment constraints.
Can Volts compare sites with different throughput?
Yes, if reliable throughput or shift data is available. The measure is agreed per site - pallets, orders, tonnes or occupied area.
Does installation interrupt warehouse operations?
The survey identifies panel access, outage windows and safe work areas. The installation sequence is agreed against those constraints, so no zero-disruption claim is made before survey.
What happens after an exception is found?
Volts can notify, create an owned task or propose a schedule or control action where one is connected. The evidence and outcome remain connected to the originating site and meter.
