Resource & Energy Usage Monitoring
Smarter Industrial Monitoring for Materials, Utilities, and Production Efficiency
At KAMAPS, we deliver advanced resource and energy usage monitoring solutions for manufacturing and process industries throughout the United Kingdom. Our systems provide real-time visibility and intelligent control over material usage, tank levels, powder dosing, and energy consumption—empowering organisations to reduce waste, cut costs, and optimise their supply chains and production planning.
Whether managing raw material input, utility usage, or automated reordering, our integrated systems ensure that every process is efficient, traceable, and aligned with sustainability goals.
What Is Resource & Energy Usage Monitoring?
Resource and energy usage monitoring refers to the continuous measurement, tracking, and analysis of materials, utilities, and energy consumption across industrial processes. It includes monitoring key resources such as:
Water, gas, and electricity usage
Bulk material levels in tanks, silos, and hoppers
Powder weighing and dosing systems
Compressed air, steam, and chilled water networks
Production line material flow and consumption rates
The goal is to identify inefficiencies, reduce waste, support compliance with environmental standards (such as ISO 50001), and enable automated ordering, inventory management, and production planning.
Our Monitoring Solutions Include:
Design and installation of energy meters, flow meters, and level sensors
Integration with SCADA, PLC, and MES platforms
Real-time dashboards with usage trends and consumption KPIs
Alerts for overuse, leakage, or abnormal material consumption
Remote monitoring via cloud or local HMIs
Automated reporting for sustainability audits and energy reviews
Linkage with ERP systems for production and inventory alignment
Support for automated reordering based on usage thresholds
Integration with powder weighing systems for batch control and material traceability
Secure data storage and visualisation tools for energy and material performance reviews
Materials and Utilities Monitored
We help clients monitor and manage a wide range of industrial resources, including:
Materials
Raw powders, granules, and resins (e.g. in plastics, food, and chemical manufacturing)
Solvents, oils, and lubricants
Chemicals in bulk storage tanks or dosing systems
Packaging and consumables (tracked via usage sensors)
Energy & Utilities
Electrical power consumption across lines, machines, and departments
Compressed air usage and leak detection
Steam production and condensate return efficiency
Natural gas flow for ovens, burners, and boilers
Water consumption for cleaning, cooling, and processing
Integrated Technologies and Devices
Our solutions incorporate industry-leading technologies and devices, such as:
Ultrasonic and radar tank level sensors
Load cells and weigh hoppers for solids and powders
Electromagnetic and thermal flow meters for liquids and gases
Energy meters (single-phase and three-phase)
Modbus, PROFINET, and MQTT communication protocols
Wireless sensors for remote or inaccessible locations
IIoT gateways for cloud-enabled monitoring and analytics
Smart controllers and relay modules for triggering reordering or alarms
These devices are carefully selected to suit the environment, IP-rated for hygiene, sensitive zones or ATEX-certified for explosive atmospheres.
Common Applications of Resource & Energy Monitoring Systems
Tank Level and Bulk Material Monitoring
Description: Monitoring of liquid or granular stock levels in tanks, hoppers, and silos, linked to automatic alerts and replenishment workflows.
Benefits:
Prevents material shortages and production stoppages
Supports just-in-time (JIT) inventory strategies
Enables accurate procurement and supplier communication
Energy Monitoring and Cost Allocation
Description: Real-time tracking of energy use by department, machine, or shift using sub-metering and central analytics.
Benefits:
Identifies energy-intensive processes for improvement
Enables load balancing and off-peak energy usage
Supports reporting for environmental certifications and audits
Powder Weighing and Dosing Optimisation
Description: Integration of weighing systems into batch control for accurate dispensing of powders and dry materials.
Benefits:
Reduces overuse and material waste
Improves batch quality and repeatability
Facilitates traceability in regulated industries (e.g. food, pharma)
