Market validation: Simple energy monitoring for manufacturing

Hey folks, I'm validating a business idea and need honest feedback from industry people.

The problem: Most mid-size manufacturers don't know where they're wasting energy. Current solutions are either too complex (enterprise-level) or too expensive for smaller operations.

My concept: Wireless plug&play energy monitoring device for ~$3,500. Just clamp it to your machines, get instant dashboard on your phone showing energy waste. No IT integration, no technician required.

Questions for you: - Do you see this problem in your facility? - What do companies currently pay for energy monitoring? - Is $3,500 too expensive/cheap for this kind of solution?

Appreciate any honest feedback - trying to figure out if this is worth pursuing!
