Multi-Site Connectivity & SD-WAN
Resilient connectivity across plants and warehouses with SD-WAN and failover so production stays online.
Industry Focus
Manufacturing & Industrial
Plants run on power, connectivity, and uptime. FreeTEM audits the technology and utility spend behind your operation so margin isn’t leaking out the back.
- $0 cost to you
- One advisor, every facility
- Supplier-funded
In manufacturing, margin leaks through the utility and telecom bills nobody audits.
Energy is the heavy load
Manufacturing is energy-intensive — electricity is often one of the largest line items, yet the supply rate is rarely benchmarked in deregulated markets where you can choose your supplier.
Multi-site connectivity & reliability
Plants, warehouses, and offices each need reliable connectivity; downtime on the floor halts production, not just email. Industry analyses (Siemens) estimate unplanned downtime can cost manufacturers on the order of $260K–$500K an hour.
Machine & IoT connectivity
Sensors, PLCs, and connected equipment depend on stable networks that weren’t designed for today’s device counts.
Process & cooling water
Water for process and cooling is a real operating cost that frequently goes unmeasured and unoptimized.
Power quality & conditioning
Sags, surges, and poor power quality damage equipment and cause unplanned downtime.
Security across facilities
OT and IT across multiple sites widen the attack surface and the compliance burden.
What FreeTEM helps you fix.
IoT / Machine Connectivity
Networks built for sensors, PLCs, and connected equipment — reliable, segmented, and ready to scale.
Energy Supply Benchmarking
Benchmark your electricity (and gas) supply rate in deregulated markets to surface overspend on your largest utility line.
Water Efficiency for Process / Cooling (ExactWater)
Through ExactWater, facilities typically see 30–45% water reductions, backed by a 120-day guarantee.
Power Conditioning & Reliability
Address power quality and backup so sags and surges don’t cost you equipment or production time.
Industrial Cybersecurity
Protect OT and IT across every site with segmentation and security matched to industrial environments.
Representative Scenario
What an audit can surface for a multi-plant manufacturer.
An illustrative scenario built from industry context and supplier-documented performance — not a FreeTEM client result. The setup: a multi-plant manufacturer with energy supply left unbenchmarked in a deregulated state and high process-water use across facilities. Figures are attributed to their source, not promised.
$260K–$500K/hr
Industry-estimated cost of unplanned plant downtime — exactly the exposure an audit helps you get ahead of.
30–45%
Water reductions facilities typically see through ExactWater for process and cooling water — a supplier-documented range, backed by a 120-day guarantee.
$0
Cost to you — FreeTEM is funded by the suppliers you choose, not by your business.
Your actual results depend on your plants, processes, and current rates — which is exactly what a free audit determines.
