Manufacturing
Shifts, presses and furnaces that peak at the worst tariff.
Shifts flexible loads into solar hours and pre-charges the battery before each peak.

AI energy agents for industrial sites
Fieldline forecasts your solar output and demand, then decides every 5 minutes whether to store, use or sell each kilowatt-hour.

The problem
On-site solar should cut the bill. Without a plan that changes every few minutes, most of it is sold cheap and bought back dear.
12:00
Your panels peak while the line is on lunch break. The surplus leaves for the grid at €0.04 per kWh.
18:00
Second shift starts as the peak tariff hits. The same energy comes back at €0.31, nearly eight times the price.
MON 07:30
Someone rebuilds the week's schedule by hand from last month's bill. By Wednesday, the weather has made it wrong.

How it works

Every inverter, meter and battery reports in.
An edge agent reads your SCADA, inverters and meters every 5 seconds, so the model starts from what your site is doing right now, not last month's bill.

A forecast for every 5 minutes of tomorrow.
Weather, production schedules and tariff feeds become a 24-hour forecast of solar output and demand, with a confidence band your team can check.

Store, use or sell, decided for you.
Agents route each kilowatt-hour to the battery, the line or the grid, inside limits you set. Every decision is logged, explained and one click from override.
The platform
Your energy manager sees what the agents decided, why, and what it saved. Nothing happens that your team cannot read, question or reverse.

The edge agent runs on your network. Only forecasts and decisions leave it, encrypted.
Each action records its inputs, the reason and who could override it.
Battery floors, temperature bands and export caps the agents can never cross.
Hand any asset back to manual control at any time, from the dashboard or the PLC.
“We stopped arguing about the spreadsheet. The agents move the battery and the shift loads, and I check the log over coffee. The six o'clock peak used to be my problem. Now it's a line in a report.”
Book a demo
Send a month of meter data and we will replay it through Fieldline: what the agents would have decided, every 5 minutes, and what it would have saved.
