Watt-Box energy management system for manufacturing plants

Watt-Box Automatic Energy Management

Introduction

The Watt-Box Automatic Energy Management System helps manufacturers reduce unnecessary energy consumption by automatically shutting down auxiliary equipment whenever a primary machine stops running. When production resumes, the system automatically restores power, helping reduce wasted energy without disrupting normal operations.
 

Designed for plastics manufacturing and many other industrial environments, Watt-Box is an easy way to lower operating costs, improve energy efficiency, and support more sustainable manufacturing practices.

How it works

The Watt-Box monitors a primary machine or input signal. When production stops, it automatically switches off connected auxiliary equipment that is no longer needed. Once the primary machine restarts, Watt-Box restores power to the connected equipment without operator intervention.
 

This simple approach helps eliminate energy waste caused by equipment continuing to run during machine downtime.
