Increase WHR and solar draw 18:00-22:00 peak grid window
Grid tariff peaks while WHR output available. Shift load to cheaper sources before MD window closes.

Cement
Rupee-scored prescriptions for cement plants
Mills, kiln auxiliaries, crushers, and WHR already have meters and EMS. Stamped is the intelligence layer on that stack: live data, assigned next actions, evidence on the bill. Read-only. No hardware retrofit.
In this plant
Where the cement bill actually moves
Raw and finish mills, kiln auxiliaries, crushers, and WHR. Same processes you run.
Raw and finish mills
kWh per ton drifts when separators and bearings degrade. Stamped ranks mill SEC against throughput, then assigns the inspection before the month is lost to a silent creep.
Kiln auxiliaries
Fans, coolers, and idle kiln-side loads sit on the incomer whether clinker is moving or not. Idle cuts are ranked against line rate, not a flat kW alarm.
Crushers and mill startups
Simultaneous restart after an outage is how contracted MD gets breached. Sequencing is assigned before the billing window closes.
WHR and grid windows
Cheap WHR or solar sitting idle in a peak grid window is a dispatch miss. Source mix is prescribed for the tariff window, not a dashboard heuristic.
Example prescriptions
What supervisors receive
Illustrative actions from comparable cement plants. Your pilot writes these from your meters, EMS feeds, and bill.
Stagger finish mill restart after power outage
Three mills restarted simultaneously - incomer breached contracted MD by 180 kVA. Sequence restart over 20 minutes.

Finish mill SEC drift vs baseline - maintenance trigger
kWh/ton up 8% over 14 days with stable output. Separator and bearing inspection before SEC degrades further.
₹2-5L/month
Assigned: Maintenance planner
Enterprise cement plants have reported large annual potential through dispatch governance. Stamped brings governed decisions to mid-market scale. [Published industry case literature]
Impact ranges are benchmark estimates from comparable plants, not customer guarantees. Verified figures come from your plant with evidence.
What you gain
The floor knows what to do. Leadership sees the evidence.
Indicative language from comparable plants. Your pilot replaces it with plant figures.
Assigned energy moves
Ranked prescriptions on mill restart stagger, idle kiln-side fans, and WHR-vs-grid windows, without rewriting the process recipe.
Stable SEC in the operating band
kWh per ton vs this plant's line and shift baseline, not a generic dashboard threshold.
Earlier equipment intervention
Power-draw and mill SEC drift tied to rupee and throughput risk. Not a vibration PdM claim.
FAQ
Common questions
How can cement plants reduce kWh per ton?
Comparable cement plants using assigned, rupee-scored actions typically move electrical SEC by catching mill drift and restart overlap before the month closes. Published 70-80 kWh/ton bands are context, not your target. Your pilot replaces those bands with plant figures.
What is WHR and grid dispatch optimization for cement plants?
WHR and solar are cheaper in some windows than grid. Stamped ranks source-mix moves against tariff and available WHR output so dispatch is assigned, not guessed at the desk.
How does Stamped work with existing cement plant EMS?
EMS shows trends. Stamped is the intelligence layer on that stack: read-only feeds, rupee-scored next actions, owner, and verification on the bill. No rip-and-replace.
