Frequently Asked Questions
An AI-powered platform that tracks, analyzes, and optimizes energy consumption across manufacturing facilities in real time. iFactory uses IoT sensors and ML to capture sub-second data from every machine — identifying waste, detecting anomalies, forecasting demand, and typically reducing energy costs by 20-30%.
iFactory's ML engine learns normal consumption patterns for every asset, building a unique energy fingerprint. When real-time data deviates from baselines, the AI flags anomalies within seconds, classifies severity and root cause, and triggers automated alerts with confidence-scored diagnoses.
Smart energy meters, CT clamps, IoT power monitors, PLC/SCADA, BMS, and sub-meters. We support Modbus, BACnet, OPC-UA, MQTT, and REST API protocols with cloud or on-premise deployment.
AI analyzes your utility rate structure alongside production schedules, then shifts non-critical loads to off-peak hours, staggers motor startups, and optimizes sequencing — typically reducing demand charges by 25-35%.
Yes. iFactory automatically calculates Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions, tracks reduction targets, and generates audit-ready reports for ISO 50001, GHG Protocol, CDP, and regional regulations.
Single facility: 1-2 weeks with existing meters. Full AI analytics with IoT sensors: 3-4 weeks. Enterprise multi-plant rollouts: 6-10 weeks. AI starts learning baselines immediately.
