Warehouses are generally environments with a high energy consumption due to multiple factors such as heavy equipment, forklift charging and lighting requirements. The inefficient use of energy, in particular the time of use for charging equipment such as forklifts, presented a great opportunity for monitoring tools that would ultimately result in a recommendation to shift demand through the use of IoT technology. 

Simble arranged the deployment and installation of Wattwatchers energy sub-meters & IoT devices to accurately monitor, visualise, analyse and control the energy consumption within the warehouse. IoT devices and software technology helped the customer measure energy consumption, extract patterns and ultimately shift demand by rescheduling the  charging of the forklifts to off times. SimbleSense demonstrated to the customer the resulting significant drop in energy consumption. Energy waste can be costly and is typically unnoticed due to lack of visibility and difficulties in ongoing monitoring and controlling, however the customer was able to take proactive steps and achieve 25% reduction in usage.
