RUMM leaders in energy solutions
RUMM your energy consumption specialists are the company to speak to if you require assistance with assisting to Reduce Business Energy Consumption.
RUMM business energy management has been shortlisted for the ‘Technology’ category in the Insider Made in Wales Awards 2014.
The finals take place on October 23, at the Mercure Holland House Hotel, and speakers include Dr Lyn Evans, project leader at CERN.
The recognition of being shortlisted under the technology category is particularly satisfying for us as we have launched the latest version of our Energy Management Software IBASS5 this year which has been so well received.
Dr Russell Payne (Ops Director) who is responsible for overseeing RUMM’s energy saving technology developments commented:
“RUMM’s technologies have been designed to have the functionality required by our own energy managers to save energy for our customers. Through continual improvements demanded by our energy managers our energy saving technologies have become stand-alone tools that we believe surpass anything else in the market.”
RUMM remote utility monitoring and management
RUMM is delighted to announce the establishment of its new North American office based in Florida.
The creation of this office is in-line with the business strategic plan to search for a larger customer base and explore opportunities to license RUMM’s brand overseas. RUMM’s brand will be offered through a license distribution agreement and the RUMM USA office will have exclusive rights to offer RUMM Energy Management Software and products.
This development marks an exciting time for RUMM Energy management Services and there is great potential for its energy saving products and services that have been developed and tested for more than 10 years in the UK market to achieve considerable cost and carbon savings in the vast manufacturing US sector where the energy management market is beginning to develop strongly.
The Vice-President of the RUMM USA office is Tony Dalby. He is a successful business man with many years experience in the manufacturing sector and is excited by the prospect of building a thriving business that will address the growing demands on industry to control costs and environmental impact of their activity.

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.
