kWh per unit produced
Specific energy, continuously, per machine. A mill outside its setpoint burns money even when the dashboard says it's working.

The power bill arrives late and aggregated. Specific energy doesn't
“Energy is eating my margin — and now they want ESG reports.”
How many kWh each unit produced costs, measured continuously and against a setpoint. It's the number that connects what happens on the floor with the P&L — and the one ESG reporting is starting to ask for.
What it actually does
Energy stops being managed by the utility bill
A measured setpoint, not an assumed one
At La Plomosa the scientific setpoint turned out to be 14.15 kWh/ton. That number didn't come from a manual: it came from instrumenting the mill and letting it talk.
Equipment states classified with AI
The model tells real production apart from idling, starting up and waiting. That's where the unproductive time no report was showing turns up.
The road to ESG
Coming soon: emitted gases (CO₂e) and variables aligned with the Paris Agreement, so the sustainability report comes out of the same measurement instead of a separate estimate.
How it gets switched on
Measuring consumption is easy; measuring specific energy isn't
A current meter tells you how much energy went in. Specific energy also requires knowing how much was produced in that same time window — which is why this module needs both signals synchronised, and that's precisely what the platform already does.
The install is the usual one: non-invasive sensing, 1 day per machine, without stopping the operation and with a 120 V outlet as the only physical requirement.
- 01We instrument consumption and output of the same machine, together
- 02Weeks of measurement to find the real setpoint, not the manual's
- 03AI classifies the states and exposes the unproductive time
- 04Drift against setpoint becomes an alert, not a month-end finding
The other modules
They all run on the same data and the same hardware. Turn on one, turn on six — the bill grows per machine, not per module.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask about energy
What is specific energy and why does it matter?
It's the kWh it costs to process each ton or each unit. It's the number that connects the operation with the P&L: a machine outside its setpoint burns money even when it 'is working'. Kinnil computes it continuously and uses AI to classify the equipment's states.
Isn't an energy meter enough?
A meter tells you how much energy went in, not how much each unit produced cost. That requires measuring consumption and output synchronised on the same machine — the difference between a data point and an actionable indicator.
Can I report CO₂e with Kinnil today?
Not yet: emitted gases and variables aligned with the Paris Agreement are in development. What is running today is specific energy, which is the base that layer will be computed on.
