Manufacturing Energy, Connectivity & VoIP Solutions

Manufacturing Sector Overview

Factories and processing plants run heavy machinery, 24 / 7 shift patterns and increasingly data-driven operations. A power-price spike, network latency or an outage in the ERP / SCADA link can halt production and hit OEE hard. Bright Edge addresses every pressure point securing wholesale utility rates, delivering deterministic connectivity for industrial IoT and providing clear, site-wide VoIP, so you maintain uptime and protect margins.

Business Energy for Manufacturing

Arc furnaces, compressors and HVAC drive enormous kWh demand and TRIAD penalties. As a manufacturing energy broker, Bright Edge models your half-hour load curve, shift roster and demand peaks, then tenders our wholesale network for tariffs matched to base-load and time-of-use pricing. We can layer Demand Side Response (DSR) or renewable PPAs to hedge long-term risk and hit sustainability targets.

• Fixed, flexible or pass-through contracts up to 60 months

• Forward-buy electricity & gas up to 12 months ahead of renewal

• 100 % REGO-backed electricity available for greener credentials

At-a-glance benefits

Broadband & Connectivity for Manufacturing

CNC controllers, MES, real-time quality systems and CCTV need deterministic, low-latency links. Bright Edge delivers uncontended leased lines up to 10 Gb with 4G/5G fail-over for remote sites. Layer-2 private WAN or SD-WAN connects multiple plants securely, and on-prem 5G provides wire-free connectivity for AGVs and sensors.

• 99.9 % SLA with sub-second cellular fail-over options and redundancy

• QoS for VoIP, SCADA and time-sensitive manufacturing data

• Rapid wireless links for temporary lines during expansion projects

Connectivity highlights

VoIP Telephony for Manufacturing

Plant managers, maintenance teams and loading docks need clear comms over wide areas. Our manufacturing VoIP telephone system provides DECT or rugged SIP handsets, overhead paging integration and mobile apps for roving supervisors. Inclusive minutes reduce call spend to suppliers and logistics partners.

• Keep existing DDI ranges; zero-downtime porting

• Call groups for production, QC and shipping departments

• Paging bridge for factory-wide announcements

Frequently asked questions

How much can a plant save on utilities?

Sites typically cut combined electricity and gas costs 15–30 %, depending on load profile and current tariffs.

Is VoIP reliable over large sites?

VoIP traffic is prioritised; we deploy DECT repeaters or private 5G to cover expansive floors without drop-outs.

Can Bright Edge integrate with our existing SCADA network?

Yes layer-2 circuits with deterministic latency and VLAN tagging ensure seamless integration.

Can I lock in energy rates before renewal?

Forward-buy facility secures wholesale prices up to a year in advance, shielding budgets from market spikes.

Will broadband installation interrupt production?

No. New circuits run in parallel and switch-over occurs during planned maintenance windows.

Can Bright Edge help us hit sustainability targets?

Absolutely. We can source REGO-backed renewable electricity, structure on-site solar PPAs, and provide detailed CO₂ reporting so you can track emission reductions against ISO 14001 or corporate ESG goals.
