Industrial motor auditing · Early access

Faster motor surveys. Clearer engineering reports.

Photograph motor nameplates, add current readings and turn field data into practical energy assessments. Built for energy consultants, ESOS assessors and maintenance teams.

Technicians capture. MotorForge analyses. Engineers optimise.

No card required to explore the example. Real motor data is always subject to engineering review.

AI-assisted data entry

Photograph the plate. We read it. You verify it.

The nameplate reader pre-fills ratings instead of asking you to type every line. It can assist with rotated or dirty plates, but dark engravings and dual ratings still need a careful human check.

Connection matters: 400/690 V Δ/Y with 16.7/9.65 A normally means 400 V delta at 16.7 A, not 9.65 A. The technician checks the actual supply and connection before saving.

Field survey to engineering review

Spend less time re-keying. More time assessing.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Technicians photograph nameplates and record asset tags and locations.

  2. 02

    Verify

    Check AI-extracted ratings, then add clamp-meter readings and operating hours.

  3. 03

    Analyse

    Review estimated loading, imbalance, running costs and opportunities.

  4. 04

    Report

    Engineers validate and prioritise actions in a clear motor survey report.

For energy consultants and Lead Assessors

Make motor surveys easier for ESOS assessments.

Motor-driven equipment is a useful part of reviewing industrial electricity use. Build a consistent motor register, screen loading and running costs, and hand an engineer a ranked list of assets to verify.

MotorForge supports the motor survey component; it is not an ESOS compliance tool or Lead Assessor replacement. The wider assessment, evidence pack and sign-off remain the responsibility of the organisation and its qualified advisers.

For current ESOS requirements, see official GOV.UK guidance. No deadline or penalty claims are used here.

Nameplate. Measurements. Report.

Watch the field process and explore a clearly labelled example report before creating an account.

Early access

Test MotorForge on a real motor survey.

We are inviting a small number of independent energy consultants and maintenance teams to try a free pilot in exchange for practical feedback. A public case study is optional and requires separate permission.

Paid plans may follow after testing; prices and licence options are not yet confirmed.

Optional next step

Already auditing motors? Explore flexibility too.

Reuse motor records to screen loads for credible demand turn-up or turn-down, subject to operational limits and process requirements.

Identified flexibility is a screening estimate. Operational constraints and simultaneous availability require validation, and identified potential does not guarantee flexibility-market participation.

Engineering note: MotorForge calculations are preliminary screening estimates. AI-extracted nameplate data, site readings, process constraints and identified opportunities must be checked by a competent person before operational changes or investment.
