INTELLIGENT SENSORS

Monitor energy consumption

With our measuring technique, energy efficiency is made available for many different manufacturing industries. We strongly believe that it should be easy to gain insight into one’s energy consumption, in order to make real improvements.

We offer a smart method for measuring energy that scans the energy consumption for each machine, or other types of equipment, and then sends the sensor values directly to the cloud.

Our ISN (Industrial Sensor Node) for energy measuring is mounted onto the machines and then connected to and administered via our cloud service, CombiQloud. In the cloud you can start tracking the electricity and energy consumption and make in depth analyzes in order to understand where you can improve energy efficiency.

INSTALLATION

Easy to install

It’s quick and easy to install the sensor, for example, you can start with one or more machines in a specific production line and let the sensors monitor energy consumption in real time.

It takes no more than 15 minutes to install our preconfigured sensors. The ISN is easily connected to the power cable of the equipment and then sends sensor values directly to the cloud where they are compiled, analyzed and visualized by CombiQloud.

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

Measuring energy shapes new goals for sustainability

Reports usually show that you can save more than 50% of your energy consumption in different modes of the manufacturing plant, which can be a real step towards truly measurable sustainability goals that significantly lower the operative energy costs.

STANDBY MODE

A common energy thief

A common insight is the challenge of handling the energy consumption while the machines are in their standby mode. It’s a common challenge in several manufacturing plants and is mainly due to the large number of machines and equipment with specific requirements regarding power cycles. A concrete example is equipment which needs electricity in order to keep the hydraulic fluid at an optimal temperature, regardless of whether the actual production process is running or not.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SENSORS

Multiple sensor values

Our ISN can also obtain different kinds of sensor values with its nine internal sensors and three gates for external sensors. These can be customized for the specific needs of the operations, to ensure the well-being of the manufacturing plant.
