01 The cost you see too late

Your electricity bill tells you what happened. KONDUKTOR® EMS shows you while it is happening.

By the time the monthly bill arrives, the demand spike has occurred, poor power factor has added cost, and idle machines have consumed energy without producing. The costliest tariff hours have already gone by—unmanaged, until now.

KONDUKTOR® EMS gives your team the visibility to catch each of these while there's still time to act.

Heavy motors start together

Reactive load pulls power factor down—a cost that won't show up on a single meter reading.

Heavy loads ramp up right as peak tariff hours begin

Maximum Demand starts moving toward the Contract Demand limit—in the costliest hours of the day.

A machine keeps drawing idle power

Production has stopped. The consumption has not.

The plant is shut. The meter disagrees.

Zero production, but idle machines keep drawing power—the same waste, week after week.

The manual reading still looks normal

The spike is over, but its financial impact may already be locked in.

Demand quietly crosses 95% of Contract Demand

No one is watching a live reading—the next crossing risks a DISCOM demand revision.

The bill reveals it—too late

Demand, PF and avoidable energy costs arrive after the best chance to respond.

05 Why on-premises

Why on-premises monitoring makes sense for your factory.

Cloud convenience comes with trade-offs.

Cloud platforms can simplify remote access, but they can also introduce Internet dependency, off-site data storage and less control over operational history. KONDUKTOR® EMS keeps core monitoring inside your factory while providing secure remote access when required.

Your plant network
Each electrical panel's meters connect over RS-485 to their own KONDUKTOR EMS gateway; the gateways join the plant WiFi and every panel appears on one screen — phone, tablet or computer — with one encrypted line for secure remote access. Add a gateway for the next panel; no server PC in between. Other plants join the same dashboard over your company intranet or the internet, and each keeps its data on site.
01

Your plant data leaves the plant

Energy patterns can reveal production schedules, machine utilisation and operating volumes. KONDUKTOR® EMS keeps this information within your plant network.

02

Monitoring depends on connectivity

Cloud outages can interrupt access. KONDUKTOR® EMS continues monitoring, logging and alerting locally—even when the Internet is unavailable.

03

More external exposure

On-premises monitoring reduces unnecessary online accounts, connections and external systems that must remain secure.

04

The vendor decides how much detail survives

Many cloud platforms average raw readings down to hourly or daily summaries as they age. Local storage and backups keep yours at full detail, for as long as you choose.

05

History becomes platform-dependent

KONDUKTOR® EMS keeps records locally accessible and exportable, reducing dependence on a cloud platform.

06

Remote access without cloud dependency

Access through an encrypted Zero Trust network—without opening router ports or exposing the dashboard to the public Internet.

Cloud convenience where useful. On-premises control where it matters.

06 Built for factories

Plant data stays close to the plant.

Controlled industrial access, local records and dependable operation for day-to-day monitoring.

01

Role-based access

Admin, Operator and Viewer levels protect settings and plant information.

02

Local backups

Download reports and retain backup copies of important operational records.

03

Secure updates

Signed software and firmware updates help protect system integrity.

04

Device-side alert history

Alert records remain available even when the monitoring browser is closed.

05

Storage-health visibility

Monitor gateway storage status before capacity becomes a surprise.

06

Core operation stays local

Dashboard access, logging and alerts continue without continuous Internet dependency.

“Many breakdowns I fixed had already shown up in the meters. Nobody was listening.”

For 10 years I kept plants running — paint-shop robots and PLCs at Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors, maintenance in-charge of the weld shop at Eicher Polaris, then energy and IoT projects at Royal Enfield. At Maruti the paint shop ran about 1,750 vehicles a day; at Tata Motors I kept uptime above 96%. At Eicher Polaris I traced a recurring engine fuel pump failure to its root cause in an hour and proposed the fix that ended it — one the teams involved had struggled with for a year. Along the way I built a fault diagnostics system on shop-floor HMIs and designed a robot atomising bell testing kit that won a national design award.

In maintenance, fixing a breakdown is only half the job. The other half is finding the root cause so it never comes back — and that needs a record of what the machine was doing before it failed. At every plant, the warning signs were in the meter readings, but no one was making sense of them.

Then for 7 years I led purchasing at SolarSquare, building its procurement and logistics team and managing about ₹350 crore of spend a year. There, every rupee had to show a return. I built KONDUKTOR® EMS end to end in-house on that rule: every reading becomes a decision with a price on it — what to shift, what to fix, and what each one saves.

09 Straight answers

Before you connect.

Does KONDUKTOR® EMS work without the Internet?+

Yes. The gateway keeps reading your meters, recording data and raising alerts with no Internet at all, and the dashboard opens on any phone or laptop on the plant network. Internet is needed only for access from outside the plant and for remote software updates.

What happens during a power cut?+

Recorded data stays safe, and the battery-backed clock keeps time — logging restarts on its own when power returns. Any energy the meters counted meanwhile is filled in as estimated, so totals still match the meter.

Will it work with the meters we already have?+

Usually, yes. Any multifunction meter with a Modbus RTU (RS-485) port can connect — up to 10 per gateway, any brand, single- or three-phase, on one shared cable. Send us the exact make and model and we will confirm the register map before installation. A meter without an RS-485 port cannot be read directly; we will tell you upfront.

We have more than 10 meters. Will it work?+

Yes. Add a gateway for every 10 meters, usually one per panel. Each gateway reads and records its own meters on site, and all of them appear in one dashboard and one panel hierarchy, with no server PC in between.

We have plants in different cities. Can we see them all in one place?+

Yes. Each plant gets its own gateways, and its data stays on site in that plant. Over the same encrypted Zero Trust network used for remote access, every plant appears in one dashboard. Head office can check each plant panel by panel, and pull one combined energy and bill report across all plants, with no cloud server in between.

Can we see the dashboard from outside the plant?+

Yes, on your phone or laptop, from anywhere. Access runs over an encrypted Zero Trust network, directly or through a secure relay, so no router ports are opened and the dashboard is never exposed to the public Internet. Only approved devices can connect, and the usual Admin, Operator and Viewer logins still apply.

Where is our data stored?+

On the gateway, inside your plant, with an encrypted backup on a computer in your plant. Nothing is sent to KONDUKTOR or to any cloud server.

Will it reduce our electricity bill on its own?+

No. It shows where the money is going, and your team acts on it. It warns as Maximum Demand approaches your Contract Demand, flags low power factor, peak-hour consumption and idle machines, and estimates the savings in rupees. Actual savings depend on your tariff, your plant and the actions taken.

Is KONDUKTOR® EMS subscription-based?+

Yes. The subscription covers software updates, security fixes and technical support. If it lapses, monitoring and logging pause until it is renewed — history already recorded stays on the gateway and is not deleted.

10 Beyond monitoring

Solar. Machines. Control. One platform.

Monitoring is only the start. On the same system, KONDUKTOR® EMS goes three steps further.

Solar

Generation metered live against grid and load, and checked against today’s weather. A dusty string shows up the same day.

Machine health

Running, idle and stopped time for every machine, every shift. Overloads and imbalance flagged before they become breakdowns.

Control

Demand capped, peak hours avoided, solar and DG kept within limits, idle machines switched off. Through standard Modbus I/O, alongside your protection relays.
