Boosting UPS Performance through Input and Output Monitoring
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has three monitoring points of interest: incoming AC power, outgoing AC power and the DC bus that interfaces with the battery or capacitor bank power storage system. The PQube 3e power quality analyzer is ideal for monitoring one or all three of these points of interest. UPS monitoring can be done for evaluating and testing a UPS and permanent monitoring for UPS installed in critical locations, such as data centers, critical server racks and computer systems, semiconductor manufacturing and more.
UPS monitoring with the PQube 3e gives transparency into the operation of your UPS and alerts you to outages and problems.
Implementing Dual Monitoring for Solar System Performance Optimization
In the era of sustainable energy, maximizing solar system efficiency is critical for both operational performance and cost savings. Implementing dual monitoring at both the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) and the solar system itself offers real-time insights into energy generation and consumption. This approach enhances system optimization by providing a comprehensive view of grid interaction and solar output, enabling more precise adjustments, minimizing energy losses, and improving overall performance reliability.
Enhancing Process Reliability with Automated Diesel Engine Water Pump Using Edge Computing controller
In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, process reliability is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency. Automating critical systems like diesel engine water pumps can significantly enhance this reliability, especially in high-demand environments. By integrating an Edge Programmable Industrial Controller (EPIC), organizations can streamline pump operations, ensuring real-time responsiveness to pressure drops, low water levels, and system interruptions. This advanced control system optimizes performance, reduces downtime, and boosts overall productivity, providing a smart solution to critical process challenges.
Power Quality monitoring system for Industrial Machine Shutdowns
In the manufacturing sector, maintaining consistent power quality is vital for operational efficiency. A prominent manufacturer faced recurrent issues with power disruptions during machine shutdowns, leading to significant downtime and equipment damage. To tackle this challenge, they collaborated with Truewatts, a specialist in energy management solutions. Truewatts introduced an affordable Power Quality (PQ) meter integrated with a real-time alert system, enabling immediate detection of power anomalies and prompt corrective actions. This solution not only minimized downtime but also extended equipment lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
Implementing an Energy Billing System for Cost Allocation and Energy Management
In today’s industrial landscape, energy costs can account for a significant portion of a company’s operating expenses. Efficiently managing energy consumption and fairly allocating costs across departments is essential for improving profitability and sustainability. A large industrial complex faced challenges in tracking energy usage and distributing costs, which led to inefficiencies and inaccurate billing. To solve these issues, the company partnered with Truewatts to implement a smart Energy Billing and Cost Allocation System. This case study highlights how the system provided real-time energy tracking, fair cost allocation, and actionable insights that helped the company optimize its energy consumption and reduce costs.
Reducing Energy Costs by Avoiding Demand Charges
Demand charges can significantly increase energy costs for industrial facilities, especially when power consumption peaks unexpectedly. A manufacturing company was struggling with high demand charges, which resulted from brief but costly spikes in their energy usage. To address this, the company partnered with Truewatts to implement a demand monitoring system that would provide real-time visibility into their energy consumption. In the first phase of this project, Truewatts introduced an LED display system that allowed operators to monitor and adjust power usage in real time, helping the facility avoid demand peaks. This simple yet effective solution promised a return on investment (ROI) in less than six months, while reducing the financial burden of demand charges.
Monitoring Air Compressors for Energy Efficiency
Compressed air systems are essential to many industrial operations but can be major energy consumers if not properly managed. Inefficiencies such as air leaks, improper pressure levels, and equipment overuse can lead to increased energy costs. They partnered with Truewatts to implement a custom monitoring system, using Edge computing technology, that would track key performance metrics like air flow, pressure, consumption, and temperature. This system also included a custom dashboard tailored to the company's specific needs, enabling real-time data visualization and improved decision-making. By providing actionable insights into compressor efficiency, the company aimed to reduce energy waste and lower operational costs, all while gaining better control over their compressed air system.
Integrating Multi-Brand PLCs Across Different Sites Using Edge I/O for IIoT
A global manufacturing company faced the challenge of integrating PLCs from different brands across multiple sites for centralized monitoring. To address this, they partnered with Truewatts, which implemented a solution using Edge I/O technology for IIoT. This allowed real-time data processing, seamless PLC integration, and centralized visualization, enabling faster decision-making and improved operational efficiency across all locations.
