Quick Service Summary
- Parent Domain: Industrial IoT Solutions
- Execution Model: Custom Engineering Scope
- Verification: Bench & Functional Testing
- Delivery Deliverables: Schematics, Code & Documentation
The Engineering Challenge
Plants face high electricity bills and penalty tariffs from unmanaged peak demand spikes, poor power factors, and inability to calculate specific energy cost per manufactured part.
The Desired Outcome
Real-time visibility into plant-wide, department-wise, and machine-wise electrical parameters, power factor trends, and Specific Energy Consumption (kWh/unit).
Core Technical Capabilities
Application-specific engineering focused on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Collection of electrical parameters: kWh, kW, kVA, power factor, voltage, current
RS-485 Modbus RTU integration with multi-function digital energy meters
Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) calculation: kWh consumed per good part produced
Maximum Demand (MD) tracking with proactive threshold alerts to prevent utility penalties
Departmental, feeder, and machine-level energy cost allocation
Automated energy audit reports and shift-wise consumption breakdown
Technical Approach
Energy gateways poll sub-meters over daisy-chained RS-485 networks. Telemetry is correlated with simultaneous production counts to compute true energy intensity curves.
Required Customer Inputs
Single Line Diagram (SLD), energy meter make/models, Modbus register manuals, utility contract maximum demand limits, and feeder layout.
Project Deliverables
- Energy monitoring dashboard with real-time load profiles and historical trends
- Energy meter gateway integration and Modbus register mapping
- Peak demand alert configuration and automated shift report generation
- Energy intensity (kWh/unit) benchmarking screens
Scope Boundaries & Safety Safeguards
The system provides visibility and analytical data; physical energy reductions require operational and equipment changes. Guaranteed financial savings are not promised. TC Smart Technology adheres to transparent engineering standards: solutions do not bypass machine safety interlocks, and all AI features retain human-in-the-loop governance.
