Energy monitoring system for factories in Malaysia.
KERO is an energy monitoring system for factories in Malaysia. It meters the main incomer and each compressor, chiller, boiler and production line into one live view, and keeps the timestamped record that the EECA 2024 energy audit and the yearly report to Suruhanjaya Tenaga are built from.
A factory bill gives one number a month. A plant engineer needs to know which machine drew what, at which hour, against how many units made. KERO answers that live, per system, and the same record becomes the evidence your Registered Energy Manager and energy auditor sign under EECA 2024.
One live view of everything that draws power.
Live dashboards
Consumption, demand, power factor and cost, per system and site-wide, updating as it happens, not at month end.
Per-system sub-metering
Chillers, HVAC, compressors, pumps, boilers and solar, each metered separately, so you know exactly where the kilowatts go.
Alerts & thresholds
Get notified the moment a load drifts, demand spikes, or power factor slips below target, before it compounds into cost.
Peak & power factor
Watch maximum demand and power factor in real time, the two charges that quietly inflate an industrial bill.
One source of truth
Every meter, every site, one platform. No reconciling spreadsheets against a BMS against a bill.
Audit-ready records
Continuous logging builds the evidence an EECA energy audit needs, automatically, in the background.
Your peak has an hour and a machine behind it. Your bill has a number.
| Period | Hours | Days |
|---|---|---|
| Peak | 2:00pm to 10:00pm | Monday to Friday |
| Off-peak | 10:00pm to 2:00pm | Monday to Friday |
| Off-peak | 24 hours | Saturday and Sunday |
So a peak set at three in the afternoon and a peak set at eleven at night are different money. A monthly bill gives you one number for the whole month with no hour attached to it, which leaves the question a plant engineer actually needs answered, what started when, and alongside what, to guesswork.
Interval metering answers it. KERO meters the main incomer and each system separately and keeps the record running, so a peak arrives with a timestamp and a name on it: the compressor that started at 14:40, the chiller that came on beside it. From there, moving a start time is an operating decision somebody makes on Monday, with the figure to check it against on Tuesday.
Power factor sits in the same place. It is visible continuously, which is what lets an alert fire while it is still a drift.
An energy monitoring system for factories in Malaysia: where each meter goes, and what it answers.
The count follows the question. Every load you may have to answer for separately gets its own meter, and the rest sits under the incomer.
| Metering point | What it answers | How many |
|---|---|---|
| Main incomer | The site total, maximum demand and power factor, against what the bill charges for | One per incoming supply |
| Switchboard feeders | Which part of the plant carries the load, and when | One per outgoing feeder worth separating |
| Compressed air | Kilowatts per useful output, leaks, and air made after the shift ends | One per compressor, plus flow where it exists |
| Chillers and cooling loops | Cooling delivered against cooling paid for | One per chiller, one per pump set |
| Motors, pumps, fans, conveyors | Running hours against production hours | One per drive panel, or per line |
| Boilers and steam | Fuel and electricity against output, and losses across distribution | One per boiler, one per header |
| Production lines | Energy per unit produced, the figure an EECA baseline and ISO 50001 both rest on | One per line, or per machine on the large ones |
| Rooftop solar | Generation and self-consumption, counted against the same baseline | One per inverter group |
Choosing one for a Malaysian plant
- Circuit level, not site level
- A single site meter gives a total. Attribution starts at the circuit, which is where a drift has a machine attached to it.
- Demand and power factor as they happen
- Both are charged, and both are set inside an interval. Seeing them at month end leaves nothing to act on.
- A record an auditor accepts
- Continuous, timestamped, and kept. The EECA 2024 energy audit, the energy management system and the report to Suruhanjaya Tenaga all describe energy that was measured while it was being used.
- It reads the plant you already run
- Existing meters, drives and building systems from the usual brands, so metering is added rather than replaced.
- Energy per unit of production
- Consumption alone moves with output. Energy against units made is the number that shows whether the plant is improving.
- People sign, software supplies
- Your Registered Energy Manager and auditor carry the duties under the Act. What a monitoring system owes them is complete evidence, on time.
What a factory's monitoring has to supply under EECA 2024.
Every duty under the Act is a report on energy already measured. This is what each one asks for, when it is due, and the part of the record KERO keeps for it.
| Duty | When it falls due | What the monitoring supplies |
|---|---|---|
| Energy consumer test | 21,600 GJ or more over any twelve consecutive months, all energy sources counted | Electricity in kWh beside fuel and gas, converted to one GJ total you can check month by month |
| Energy management system | Submitted within one year of the first Registered Energy Manager’s appointment, then run continuously | The baseline, energy per unit produced, and the indicators the EnMS tracks |
| EE&C report | Within 30 days after one year from the first REM appointment, then every year on that anniversary | Consumption data entered month by month, the way EMIS takes it |
| Energy audit report | Within one year of the written notice as an energy consumer, then every five years | Interval data per system, so the registered energy auditor works from measured loads |
Your Registered Energy Manager and your registered energy auditor carry these duties and sign the reports. KERO supplies the measured evidence underneath them, complete and on time. Every deadline and penalty, on one page →

The foundation EECA 2024 is built on.
Every duty the Act sets, the energy audit, the energy management system, the reporting to Suruhanjaya Tenaga, depends on measurement. Monitoring is the thing compliance stands on. Get the metering right and the audit, the EnMS and the yearly report start from data you already hold.
