YuDash has been focused on using IoT for accurate energy monitoring solutions. Our team have successfully executed energy/power monitoring projects for various applications and use cases.

Based on our learning, we have learnt that quality is more important that the quantity. So, instead of capturing huge amount of energy data, we focus on projects to derive meaningful insights, improvements and alerts.  Following are some of unique use-cases and KPIs in which YuDash solutions are being used for:

1) Daily/Shift Wise Energy consumption This information is utilized to identify consumption in idle (no-load) condition. Energy leaks (misuse) were identified and corrective actions taken. 

2) Power Factor Alert: Power Factor in factory operations is critical parameter that directly effects the energy bills. While customer use APFC controllers, but they are prone to degradation or faults over prolonged usage. YuDash IOT solution is used to monitor PF in real time using independent energy meter along with cloud based PF analytics. So, customer is alerted within 24 hours if average PF is below threshold.

3) Machine Utilization: Current consumption is used to have average machine utilization. This provides an accurate machine runtime over period of time. This provides deep insights on underutilized machines and time zones. In many use-cases, 10-15% machines were found under-utilized. In many cases, utilization was increased by customer by making them more operator friendly (fixing a counter/switch or fixing the ceiling fan).

4) Customer's Cloud/Server integration: In many cases, energy or machine process data is additional useful information along with MES/ERP information. For such applications, YuDash LYNX offers integration and data push to customer's server (local or cloud) in a flexible manner.
