Core Business and Technology

ResourceKraft's primary function is the design and delivery of complete energy data solutions, encompassing both proprietary hardware and software, alongside a full suite of implementation and support services. The solutions are designed to be "hardware agnostic," meaning they can integrate and communicate with a vast array of existing energy meters and sensors, including those monitoring electricity, water, gas, oil, heat, temperature, and humidity, typically via standard protocols like Modbus or Pulse. This flexibility allows for the creation of a scalable Energy Management System (EnMS) capable of communicating with over 100,000 energy meters across an entire network of buildings for large enterprise clients.

The company's systems provide granular visibility into energy usage, moving beyond simple utility billsâ??which only show total consumption and costâ??to reveal the who, what, where, when, and why of energy use in real-time. This level of detail enables early detection of consumption issues that may signify impending equipment problems, allows for precise measurement and verification of energy savings from retrofits, and helps in the optimization of equipment reliability and effectiveness.

Products and Services

ResourceKraft offers a range of integrated products and services, collectively forming a complete Energy Management System (EnMS) solution.

Products - Software

• Advisor Energy Management Software:

  • Functionality: Advisor is the company's flagship energy monitoring and management software system. It acquires raw energy usage data from various meters and converts it into meaningful management information. The data is visualized in real-time through easily understood charts, graphs, and maps.
  • Key Features: Users can create targets, define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and generate automated reports for planning, measuring, and tracking efficiency increases. It includes features like a Cost Mapper to show when energy is being used and Heat Mapper for an overview of consumption over time. The software supports "Organisational Function Perspective" (OFP), tailoring data views and access to meet the specific requirements of different stakeholders, such as finance or engineering teams. Alerts can be configured via text or email to notify personnel instantly if a pre-set consumption threshold is breached, preventing financial penalties like those associated with exceeding Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) levels.

• Resolve Power Quality Monitoring:

  • Functionality: Resolve is a scalable, web-based system dedicated to power quality analysis and real-time metering for the enterprise. It is specifically designed to identify and analyze the underlying root causes of issues like repeated motor failures, equipment downtime, and increased utility charges that are often linked to poor power quality.
  • Key Metrics: The system reports on critical power quality metrics, including kW, kWh, kVar, amps, Power Factor, Harmonic Distortion, Sags and Swells, and Frequency Variation. It utilizes ultra-precise, Class A certified, revenue-grade energy meters, such as the ResourceKraft Canary hardware, which records every type of AC power disturbance. Resolve allows for remote analysis and the ability to query millions of power quality events across an entire estate rapidly.

Services - Turnkey Solutions

ResourceKraft provides comprehensive services to ensure the optimal design and implementation of its EnMS, delivered as a Turnkey Solution for end-to-end monitoring and support.

• Site Survey: ResourceKraft engineers conduct on-site visits to thoroughly understand the required outcome of the EnMS, determine specific energy-saving and sustainability needs, and produce a complete site survey report.
• Data Acquisition & Measurement Solutions Design: This service involves expert consultation to design a metering and monitoring solution that is not a "one-size-fits-all" but is customized to the client's requirements. It addresses concerns such as the choice of metrology equipment, software systems integration with existing Building Management Systems (BMS), and the setup of secure data transport links (e.g., cellular and wireless links).
• Installation & Commissioning Services: A team of certified electricians and technicians is provided for the installation and commissioning of the new metering and monitoring networks, with strict adherence to health and safety standards. ResourceKraft can also provide Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) services to work alongside the client's site Health and Safety officers.
• Installation Project Management: A dedicated project management team oversees the entire deployment or expansion of the energy management system, managing all required contractors and acting as a single point of contact for design, installation, and commissioning. Upon completion, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) documentation is provided.
• Training and Continuous Assistance: The company offers training and continuous support to empower client teams to effectively utilize the Advisor software and sustain the energy management program.

Target Market

ResourceKraft's solutions are built for large enterprise clients seeking to actively manage and reduce their carbon footprint and operational costs. The company serves a diverse set of industries globally, including:
