Energy Efficiency
Every motor is a line item on your energy bill. SAM4 reads it.
SAM4 measures energy waste asset by asset — BEP deviation, oversized motors, degraded efficiency — and turns it into reportable savings your sustainability team can use.
The cost problem
Energy waste hides in your motor fleet
Motors consume roughly 70% of industrial electricity. Most plants know this. What they don't know is which motors are wasting how much — because nobody is measuring it continuously.
of industrial electricity consumption is driven by electric motors. Small efficiency gains compound into significant cost reductions.
of pumps in a typical plant operate significantly below their best efficiency point — wasting energy every hour they run.
of most motor fleets have continuous energy performance monitoring. Annual energy audits catch snapshots, not trends.
What SAM4 measures
Continuous energy intelligence, asset by asset
SAM4 uses Electrical Signature Analysis to measure energy performance from the motor control cabinet. No additional sensors. No energy sub-meters. Every motor monitored continuously.
BEP deviation monitoring
SAM4 measures how far each pump or fan operates from its best efficiency point. Continuous tracking shows whether efficiency is stable, improving, or degrading — and by how much.
Oversized motor detection
Motors running consistently at partial load waste energy. SAM4 identifies oversized motors across the fleet and quantifies the savings from rightsizing — without a dedicated energy audit.
kWh savings attribution
Every efficiency improvement is tracked and attributed to a specific asset and action. Plant managers get reportable energy outcomes, not estimates — sourced from continuous measurement.
Degradation-to-waste linkage
A bearing fault doesn't just risk a breakdown — it wastes energy. SAM4 connects mechanical degradation to energy impact, so maintenance decisions factor in both reliability and cost.
ESG-ready data
Measured outcomes your sustainability team can report
SAM4 energy data is auditable, exportable, and attributable to specific assets. Sustainability teams get measured kWh savings — not modelled estimates — for ESG reports, regulatory filings, and board presentations.
Measured, not modelled
SAM4 calculates energy savings from continuous electrical signature data — baseline vs current consumption per asset. Auditors prefer measured outcomes over engineering estimates.
CO₂ equivalent calculations
kWh savings translate directly to CO₂ reductions using your grid emission factor. SAM4 quantifies the environmental impact alongside the financial impact.
Exportable data
Energy performance data is exportable as CSV or via API. Integrate with your existing ESG reporting tools, or use SAM4's built-in reporting for standalone submissions.

Energy waste exists in every motor-driven operation
SAM4's energy monitoring applies wherever electric motors drive rotating assets. The physics is the same — only the assets change.
Water & Wastewater
Pumping accounts for up to 80% of a water utility's electricity. SAM4 identifies the pumps wasting the most energy.
Pulp & Paper
Refiners, fans, and pumps in continuous operation. Energy efficiency and reliability from the same signal.
Chemicals
Process-critical compressors and pumps running 24/7. Small efficiency gains at scale compound into significant savings.
Metals & Mining
Crushers, conveyors, and cooling water pumps. Energy-intensive operations where efficiency monitoring has been impractical until now.
“Our partnership with Samotics has clearly demonstrated how optimizing pump operations through continuous insights and smart data can immediately reduce energy consumption, costs and emissions — with minimal investment and implementation costs.”
