Realisation
- ZentNode adapters collect data from analogue current sensors and production detectors connected to the machines.
- A ZentEdge server aggregates and stores the data in an SQL database, which is used for analyses and reports.
- The dashboard provides real-time and historical analyses of machine performance.
Added value
- Energy optimisation: Identification of inefficient energy consumption to reduce costs.
- Flexibility: Expansion of the system to include additional machines or sensors without interruption.
- Security: TLS encryption protects the data from unauthorised access.
- Cost efficiency: Modular design enables a favourable implementation.
Additional application options
- Heavy industry: Monitoring energy consumption and efficiency in energy-intensive processes such as steel or cement production.
- Data centres: Energy consumption analysis to optimise server capacities and cooling systems.
- Logistics: recording and optimising the energy consumption of automated conveyor systems.
