Kautex
THE CLIENT
Kautex manufactures and supplies screen wash and headlamp cleaning systems for the automotive industry. Based in Hengoed, South Wales, the company operates a 13,500 square meter manufacturing and warehouse facility.
THE BRIEF
Already familiar with the benefits of an energy management solution having undertaken various energy reduction measures such as energy awareness training for all staff and implementation of lighting control systems, Kautex were keen to maintain its current plans for energy reduction and gain a better understanding of its energy consumption.
It employed RUMM to install a sub-metering (aM&T) network and its proprietary Pulse (data collection unit) and IBASS (Internet Based Analytical Software Suite) energy management software.
The ultimate aim for Kautex was to create an intelligent energy management system that helped control consumption, minimise production costs, and provided them with a solution that controlled energy rather than relying on individuals to reduce costs.
THE PLAN
In April 2009, RUMM installed a total of 13 sub-meters across the site. Data from the meters was then fed into the Pulse unit, giving Kautex not only the ability to see data from each individual meter but also create a virtual meter which showed where consumption took place on the remainder of the site.
Individual targets were then set to each machine so that the alarm system element of IBASS could notify relevant personnel of any spikes in consumption, or unexplained weekend usage.
As the laboratory facility at Kautex was also in use 24/7, the RUMM system was configured to allow for this in order to set a truer baseload that could be targeted for reduction.
THE RESULTS
Since installing the RUMM energy management solution, Kautex is en route to sustaining the 34% and 56% reduction in electricity and gas targeted for the year.
With the internet based system now in place, the Manufacturing Engineering Manager has also been able to delegate responsibility for energy reduction to plant managers. With a greater understanding of efficiency and production costs, it is now possible for the company to compare the costs of each kilogramme of product produced against each kilowatt of energy used.
Such is the success to date, the company is now in discussion with RUMM regarding expanding the system to install meters on compression units across the site.

Energy management for your company
Energy management is the monitoring of energy use and the identification of areas where energy can be saved, creating a blueprint for an efficient energy management solution.
aM&T (automatic Monitoring and Targeting) is the most effective way of discovering and analysing energy consumption and waste. aM&T is essential, as it provides you with the necessary data now required for adhering to carbon legislation such as CRC EES, CCA, EU ETS.
aM&T with RUMM consists of three components:
- a sub-metering system
- automatic collection of data from the meters at a pre agreed timeframe (RUMM Pulse)
- analysis of the data in order to identify consumption, costs and savings (IBASS)
RUMM offers a full Energy Management Solution to create bespoke energy management packages guaranteed to give you a reduction in your business energy usage and costs.
In addition, the effective use of an energy management scheme will give you a reduction in carbon emissions and assist you with the existing EUETS, CCA and new CRC legislation.
Based in South Wales, RUMM’s effective Energy Management Solution is guaranteed to manage your business energy more effectively.
With its advanced systems, experienced Energy Account Managers, expertise and knowledge in all areas of carbon emissions and government legislation and its ability to create bespoke energy reduction solutions, RUMM can work in any location from the UK to Europe and the USA.

Energy management – a solution you can’t afford not to take.
Unique Gifts for Men
It is sometimes difficult to find interesting and unique gifts for the men in your life. We are all bored of buying socks for Dad, slippers for Grandad and a new tie for the hubbie at Christmas. So we thought we would give you a few examples of the unique gifts for men that we have here at The Travelling Souk. This Spanish Fig and Nutmeg Shaving Soap is extremely luxurious against the skin. It creates a smooth lather which soothes and moisturises the skin and the fragrance is just delicious. The unique aspect of this product comes in the form of the beautiful wooden bowl that the soap is packaged in. For only £16.00 this would be a luxury present that any man would greatly receive.
If it is a younger man that you are looking to buy a unique gift for; possibly a son or nephew, this GBR Wash Bag will go down a treat! It is made on the Isle of Wight from genuine recycled sail cloth making it hard wearing and practical. It looks great too, with nautical style appeal it is a perfect gift especially with the 2012 Olympics approaching rapidly!

Christmas Gift Fairs
Travelling Souk markets happen all over the UK, mainly during the Christmas Fair season and have raised well over £350,000 for a great number of charities since 2003. Over the years we have exhibited our amazing selection of unique gifts all over Great Britain. We are the only fair organisers to hold several events in private manor houses not normally open to the public.
What magical ingredient keeps visitors coming back to The Travelling Souk? It has to be location, temptation and sensation! Our venues are captivating and extraordinary; we call them the unseen manor houses of Great Britain sprinkled with a liberal dose of revamped barns and racecourses.
Of course our stallholders are the vital constituent. We are obsessive about selecting the best stallholders. Any stallholder who has joined The Travelling Souk is in special in some way and offers unusual gifts for friends and family that you cannot buy elsewhere.
Don’t think for a moment though that these are places for shopping alone. They are places for meeting and feasting with irresistible home cooked fare second to none.
So, punctuate your hectic week! Pick up your friends and take a trip to an elegant place where parking is easy, shopping for unusual Christmas gifts, personalised Birthday gifts or just unique gifts for friends is inspirational and, most importantly, giving is fun with every purchase supporting our hosts’ charities.
