AI that aligns energy, production and performance

The electricity market is becoming increasingly unpredictable

Between price volatility, increasingly complex contracts, and pressure on margins, manufacturers must make critical energy decisions every day... without the right tools.

The result: unexpected additional costs, suboptimal production plans, coordination issues between teams, and loss of competitiveness.

HIGHCAST makes it easy to factor the electricity market into production decisions

By synchronizing industrial production with electricity costs, you can maximize savings on your bills without compromising operational performance.

Using AI, the platform anticipates prices, calculates the real cost of each action, and suggests the best decisions at the right time.

ECI: Electricity Cost Index - Your absolute reference

The ECI is the central engine of HIGHCAST: a unique, comprehensive, real-time indicator that calculates the actual cost of electricity for your plant, automatically integrating:

Market prices (spot/futures) and your fixed prices

The TURPE (French electricity transmission tariff) and any applicable reductions

New products: self-consumption, PPAs, storage, etc.

Taxes and contributions

Regulatory issues (peak days, VNU, etc.)

Any specific components of your contract

The industry’s electricity challenges, and HIGHCAST’s answer

Market volatility

14-day price forecasting + optimal production planning.

Lack of visibility

Real-time costs, decision support, measured gains.

Mental overload

Zero planning errors, only takes 5 minutes per day to manage effectively.

Multi-contract complexity

Dissected contracts, unified ECI, complete vision of the instant price.

Lack of synchronisation between teams

A shared platform, with the same data for everyone.

Competitiveness under threat

Secure your margins, never at the expense of production.

AI that aligns energy, production and performance

Manage and optimize industrial production according to the real cost of electricity

HIGHCAST offers the industrial site an immediate, reliable and shared vision of real cost of electricity, as close as possible to operational uses.

Thanks to the historical analysis of consumption data, the user follows the fine evolution of his electrical demand, compares it to his Electricity Cost Index, identifies the most expensive periods and precisely understands the impact of production choices on the bill. Comparisons between lines, workshops, teams or production weeks make it possible to objectify performances and to detect levers for improvement.

The platform automatically integrates all the components of the invoice (supply contract, market price, TURPE, taxes and contributions) and displays in real time the instant cost per kWh consumed. HIGHCAST also secures the obtaining of TURPE rebates, a risk that is often underestimated but decisive in optimizing costs.

This comprehensive reporting gives the energy and production manager a faithful, shared and actionable vision of the real cost of the kWh consumed, facilitating operational decisions and uniting teams around the reduction of the electricity bill driven by data.

Each industrial site has room for manoeuvre, which is often underestimated or poorly formalized. HIGHCAST makes it possible to reveal, structure and activate the flexibilities that are really compatible with the process.

The solution adapts to the specificities of the field by integrating all business constraints: production objectives, operational sequences, minimum and maximum phase durations, buffer stocks, quality thresholds, unavailability, unavailability, planned maintenance, planned maintenance, energy limitations or internal rules specific to the site.

These constraints make it possible to identify the flexibilities that can be activated: load modulation, production lag, rate adjustment, temporary stops, erasure, or optimization of energy-consuming phases. HIGHCAST also clarifies what these flexibilities are and are not: no process risks, no quality degradation, no dependence on complex manual actions.

And when the flexibilities are not yet clearly identified, HIGHCAST can support the site in their diagnosis, in close collaboration with the production, maintenance and energy teams.

There is never just one way to produce. HIGHCAST allows you to simulate multiple operating scenarios, simultaneously integrating industrial constraints and economic conditions for electricity.

By comparing different operating modes with price forecasts, tariff signals, and technical limitations, the platform highlights cost differences, impacts on production, and associated risks. The site can thus compare robust scenarios, identify the most resilient options in the face of price volatility, and secure its energy budgets.

This scenario-based approach transforms uncertainty into informed choices and gives teams back control in the face of increasingly volatile electricity markets.

Once the constraints have been modeled and the scenarios defined, HIGHCAST activates its optimization engine to propose the best possible trade-offs..

The solution automatically identifies optimal production windows, opportunities for modulation or load shedding, as well as adjustments with high economic impact and low industrial impact. For each recommendation, the user can clearly see the expected gains, operational implications, and potential risks.

HIGHCAST thus transforms a complex industrial reality into concrete, actionable, and understandable recommendations, facilitating rapid, shared decisions that are aligned with the site's economic objectives.

HIGHCAST is a decision-making aid for teams.

Every action performed on the site (start-up, shutdown, speed change, line intervention) is recorded and tracked in HIGHCAST. This operational memory feeds into performance calculations, continuously improves flexibility activation, and creates a common basis for managing activities in relation to electricity costs.

Traceability enables information to be shared between teams, raises awareness among operators and managers of the energy impact of their decisions, and moves away from a purely theoretical approach. Planning becomes a genuine tool for coordination between production, energy, and maintenance, facilitating consistent and transparent management.

By uniting the organization around objective and shared data, HIGHCAST embeds electricity savings into the site's industrial culture for the long term.

Thanks to HIGHCAST, complex data is transformed into simple decisions, enabling each team to secure the site's energy performance, empower teams to take responsibility for production electricity costs, and contribute to the company's environmental objectives.
