Homi · AI energy assistant
Where did we lose money last week?
₹61,574 went on the Wire Drawing line running after its shift ended. Most of it was Thursday night.
MTWTFSS
A shutdown checklist at 8 pm would recover about ₹2.4 lakh a month.

Homi answers
Ask anything in plain English and get the answer with the numbers behind it.
The same factory, two ways
Right now, your bill is a number. It could be a to-do list.
Without energy monitoring
- The bill comes in at ₹12 lakh and nobody can say which machine spent it.
- A line runs all night after the shift. You find out next month, if ever.
- Peak-hour rates, power-factor penalties, idle motors. Paid, every month.
- A failing motor shows up as a breakdown, not a warning.
With UptimeLinked and Homi
- You know which machine, shift and hour every rupee went to, before the bill arrives.
- Idle machines, after-shift running and odd spikes show up by the next morning, with the cost.
- Every tariff band and bill line is checked against your own meters.
- Rising current and phase trouble get flagged early, before something breaks.
Homi, your AI energy analyst
Named after Homi Bhabha. Built to answer like your best engineer.
Homi has read access to every report in the app, so one question can pull from your meters, your shifts, your tariff and your bills at once. You don’t need to know which screen holds the answer.
- Answers only from your own meters and settings, and shows the numbers it used.
- Sees only the plants and floors you’re allowed to see.
- Can suggest a fix, like a missing budget or tariff, but nothing changes until you approve it.
Money
- “What did electricity cost us yesterday?”
- “Where will this month’s bill land?”
- “Which machine costs the most per hour?”
Waste
- “Which machines idle the most?”
- “What ran after the shift ended last night?”
- “What did peak hours cost us last week?”
Bills and tariffs
- “Does our bill match what the meters recorded?”
- “Are we close to our contract demand?”
- “What is our power factor costing us?”
Machines
- “Is any motor drawing more current than it used to?”
- “Which meters stopped sending data?”
- “How many hours did the press run this week?”
A complete energy management system
Every report ends with a rupee figure you can do something about.
Your plant head, your finance team and your maintenance engineer each get the screen they need. And if nobody has time to open one, they can just ask Homi.

Where do I look?
Start with the problem, and we take you to the right screen.
You don’t need to know which report to open. Pick what’s bothering you, like a power factor penalty, or a question you’ve never had an answer to, like how much of your power goes in peak hours. The app walks you through the screens that show it, in order, with what to look for on each one.
- My electricity bill is too high, or I do not understand it
- Energy is going somewhere I cannot see
- A machine is using more than it should
- Machines are tripping or the supply looks unstable
- Generator, solar or fuel costs
Made for how India bills electricity
Built around Indian tariffs, not just adapted to them.
Most energy software is designed for a single flat rate. Your bill has peak hours, kVAh, demand charges, power-factor rebates and a generator. So does our system.
Checks your HT electricity bill
Rebuilds it line by line from your own readings: energy, demand, power factor, duty and rebates, set up for your utility’s tariff.
Time-of-day tariffs
Every rupee priced by your peak, normal and off-peak rates, hour by hour.
kVAh billing and power factor
See what poor power factor adds to the bill, machine by machine.
Contract demand
Warns you before the 15-minute peak crosses the kVA you pay for.
Grid, DG and solar
What each source supplied and cost, and when the generator ran.
Alerts on Telegram and email
Right person first, then the next person in line if nobody responds.
What could you save?
Slide to your monthly electricity bill.
Our clients cut 10 to 15 percent off their energy cost on average. Here’s what that would look like for you.

Based on our clients’ average saving. Every plant is different; a demo on your own data gives you the real figure.
Monitoring while you’re not watching
A problem at 2 AM shouldn’t wait till Monday.
Alerts reach the right person on Telegram and email. If nobody picks it up, the next person in line hears about it. Fewer surprises, smaller bills.
- Peak demand warnings at 80, 90 and 96% of your contract, checked every 5 minutes
- Overcurrent, voltage trouble and silent meters, checked every 15 to 30 minutes
- In the morning, just ask Homi what happened overnight
The hardware
Small box, no data lost.
The gateway plugs into your meters and does the rest. If your factory already has UptimeLinked sensors, those connect too.
- Works with Modbus energy meters on your incomer, feeders and machines
- One gateway reads up to eight meters
- Sends readings over your Wi-Fi every 5 minutes
- Keeps readings on its memory card if the internet drops, then catches up
- Meter settings are changed remotely, so changing what a meter reads needs no site visit
One plant or twenty
See every site side by side, and report on all of them.
Every site, one screen
Compare floors and factories on cost, idle share and energy per unit, and see which one needs attention first.
Costs by department
Split the bill across departments and lines, with the rule behind every share, so nobody argues the number.
Compliance without the spreadsheet
A frozen energy baseline, a carbon footprint by source, and packs for ISO 50001, BEE PAT and BRSR.
Carbon footprint and ESG
Your energy data is already your carbon report.
We’re proud of this one. The same meters that cut your bill measure your carbon, so your ESG numbers come from real readings, not estimates. When a customer, an auditor or the board asks, you have the answer.
- Scope 1 and Scope 2 footprint, by grid, generator and solar
- Official CEA emission factors for each reporting year
- Carbon per tonne or per piece, for your customers’ questionnaires
- One pack for BRSR, BEE PAT and ISO 50001
- Monthly carbon and renewable share targets, with warnings
Real savings in Indian factories

Talk to usQuestions people ask us
Energy monitoring and EMS in India, answered.
What is an AI energy monitoring system?
It is a system that reads your electricity meters all day and turns those readings into answers. Ours adds Homi, an AI analyst you can simply ask things like "which machine cost us the most last week?" and get the answer in rupees, worked out from your own meters.
What is an energy management system (EMS), and do I need one?
An EMS shows where, when and on what your plant uses electricity, so you can cut what you do not need. If your electricity bill is a big monthly cost and nobody can say which machines or hours drive it, an EMS usually pays for itself quickly. Our clients see an average payback of about 4.2 months.
Does it work with Indian electricity tariffs?
Yes. It prices your energy by your own tariff, including time-of-day peak, normal and off-peak rates, and it can rebuild your HT electricity bill line by line so you can check it against what your meters actually recorded. We set it up around your own utility’s tariff, whichever DISCOM you buy from.
How much can a factory save with energy monitoring?
Most of our clients cut 10 to 15 percent off their energy cost. The usual wins are machines left running after the shift, idle motors, peak-hour usage that could move, power-factor penalties and mistakes on the bill.
What hardware does it need?
A small gateway connects to Modbus energy meters on your incomer and machines and sends readings every 5 minutes. One gateway handles up to eight meters, and readings are stored on the gateway if the internet drops, so nothing is lost.
Who uses it in a plant?
Plant heads watch the daily cost and alerts, maintenance teams use machine health and power quality, and finance uses the bill check, budgets and department-wise statements. Everyone can ask Homi a question in plain English.
Can I monitor several factories in one place?
Yes. Every site and floor shows up side by side, so you can compare cost, idle time and energy per unit across plants, and each person only sees the sites they are allowed to.
Can Homi change my settings or data?
Homi reads your data to answer questions. If it spots something missing, like a budget or a tariff, it can suggest the fix as a card, but nothing changes until a person with the right access approves it.
Your factory already knows where the money goes. Homi just tells you.
If your electricity bill is ₹10 lakh a month, our clients’ average saving of 10 to 15 percent would put ₹1 to 1.5 lakh back in your pocket every month. That’s why the system usually pays for itself in about four months.
