b4b is looking for a manufacturer to apply for a grant from Innovate UK IETF for deployment of energy efficient technologies in industry.
The minimum grant is £250,000 up to £3,000,000.
Applicants must qualify for state aid and funding is available as follows: • up to 55% if you are a micro or small organisation
- up to 45% if you are a medium-sized organisation
- up to 35% if you are a large organisation
Please note funding does not apply for Solar PV, LED Lighting etc..
b4b proposes to subcontract to the applicant as part of the grant bid to implement our Smart Energy Monitoring sensors, dashboard and LoRaWAN connectivity into manufacturing businesses. We also propose to provide sensors for Condition Monitoring to maximise efficiency of production lines and optimise energy usage. These applications have proven to reduce energy consumption and Co2 emissions.
Other subcontractors who can help drive energy efficiency would be good partners as part of a consortium bid should strengthen it e.g. 5G and Augmented Reality, AI.
We are looking for introductions to interested manufacturers interested in applying for this grant and partnering with us.
Should you have any queries or wish to set up a call please do not hesitate to get in contact: julian@b4bgroup.ie T: 07522 225791
b4b Smart energy monitoring services overview.
Our innovative IoT smart energy monitoring services provides end-to-end electricity usage monitoring and billing-grade metering. It′s a powerful set of tools for you to use power more efficiently and engage your users in more proactive energy management. By reducing consumption, you save on both cost and carbon.
IoT energy services use sensors and meters to collect gas and electricity consumption data, and communicate it wirelessly to the cloud. You can see real-time information or use the historic data for trend analysis − in the level of detail you please − with our user-friendly dashboards. What′s more, the service is designed to be easily retro-fitted, which means minimal disruption, just the insight you need at your fingertips, fast.
