Starting point
We understand the segment's challenges
Where costs and risks really arise in this environment, and why you cannot see them without metering.
Existing infrastructure, no data
The plant had meters installed, but they were not networked. The data was neither read nor evaluated.
Reliable industrial communication
Communication lines across large production halls need careful topology design and signal verification. Without them, data collection drops out.
Exceeding reserved capacity (MRK/RK)
Without active monitoring, power peaks mean automatic penalties from the distribution system operator, discovered only on the invoice.
Machine consumption out of sight
The energy use of individual machines and transformer stations was unknown. You cannot manage what you do not measure.
Project scope
What we deployed on the project
- 800 m communication line across two production halls
- 25 metering devices connected online
- 28 electrical devices installed in total
- Replacement of the original network analysers in the transformer station
- Edge device, VPN remote management, cloud analytics, AI reporting, AI prediction and maintenance

Concrete benefits · real findings
What the system delivered in practice
Correcting an inefficient power factor: €20,000/year
Monitoring revealed a persistently low power factor. After correction, the system eliminated the distribution operator’s surcharges for reactive power. Savings identified: about €20,000 a year.
Preventing reserved capacity penalties: €12,000/year
Automatic monitoring of demand peaks gives a warning before the reserved capacity is exceeded. The penalties avoided amount to about €12,000 a year.
Your challenges · our answers
What it means for a manufacturing company
Existing meters without a network connection
Networked over Modbus RTU, data available online immediately
Long communication lines across halls with no guarantee of reliability
Expert topology design, signal verification, stable data collection
Consumption by machine and transformer station out of sight
Metering at every supply point, live dashboard
Risk of penalties for exceeding reserved capacity (MRK/RK)
Automatic tariff monitoring, a warning before the limit is exceeded
Why Nidex Technology
Four reasons, each proven in practice
End-to-end responsibility
From design, hardware supply and installation to data integration, inspections and support. One supplier, one point of responsibility.
Technical precision and standards
We design in line with the Slovak standards STN 33 2000 and STN EN 61439. We issue statutory inspection and test reports (OPOS) with our own staff.
References in regulated environments
Healthcare, industry, state infrastructure: environments with higher demands on accuracy and reliability.
Based in Central Europe
We are based in Nitra, Slovakia, about two hours from Vienna and Budapest, and know the local legislation. Fast response, one team from design to service.
Proposed next steps
Three steps from a meeting to the first results
- 01
Technical meeting
A visit to the selected building. We define the scope, priority locations and constraints.
- 02
Indicative quote
An indicative price based on the agreed scope. Presentation of the technical design.
- 03
Pilot project
Deployment in one building. Verifying functionality, integration and training the operators.
Conclusion
Why it makes sense
Deploying the monitoring and analytics system brought Taplast identified annual savings of €81,000: in preventing penalties, correcting the power factor, optimising production and setting up energy contracts. What used to be invisible is now measured, managed and reflected in costs. Networking the existing infrastructure proved to be an investment with a quick payback.
Want to see the real consumption of your operation? We start with a site visit and a no-obligation quote. A pilot project on one building proves the benefit before you decide on full deployment.
