Energy Monitoring System for Manufacturing

Energy Monitoring System for Manufacturing Enterprises

by George Fakirides, Director at SenseOne - Interview with George Pantazopoulos | INDUSTRY DailyMag. 28/02/22

What technology is the Energy Monitoring solution you are developing based on, and how does it work?

The EnergySense solution is a cloud solution that utilizes a range of modern technologies and development tools. It is based on the microservices architecture, allowing each service to have its own technological stack, depending on the requirements of the purpose it is called upon to serve. For example, implementing a customer's interface and data visualization can be achieved through web technologies such as Javascript and HTML, while big data technologies and data streaming techniques are used to collect and process data.

What is the competitive advantage of SenseOne IoT Platform for users?

The competitive advantage of the SenseOne IoT Platform lies in its ability to simplify processes and workflows for users. Previously, users had to deal with different IoT systems and applications or rely on manual data entry. Today, the platform provides a comprehensive overview of their energy utilization, allowing for greater efficiency and accuracy in their data. This process begins by connecting to various sources, continues with the extraction of essential energy and non-energy data, and concludes with a central dashboard along with an automated report. This setup provides comprehensive information for a complete energy assessment of the assets, allowing for prompt decision-making.

How adaptable is this specific solution, and what connectivity options does it have with other IoT devices?

The SenseOne IoT Platform is a cloud service that eliminates the need for additional local hardware. This approach provides flexibility and accelerates the installation process (reducing time to market). Additionally, the platform supports multiple communication protocols, enabling seamless connections with various IoT devices. Users can easily create additional event analyses and visualizations without needing specialized programming knowledge.

What benefits do manufacturing enterprises experience when they adopt this specific solution?

The advantages of utilizing the platform in manufacturing enterprises can be divided into three main categories:

Efficiency

Improving efficiency leads to fewer daily checks of the installation's proper operation and enhances the optimization of various system functions.

Sustainability

By enabling enterprises to reduce their energy footprint and make efficient use of resources

Flexibility

By reducing analysis time and enhancing the visualization of key performance indicators, organizations are equipped with the agility to make timely and informed decisions.
