Factory Energy Management System
Make factory electricity visible, attributable and controllable: demand monitoring, Taipower tariff simulation and bill reconciliation, equipment utilization analytics and alerting on an industrial gateway platform.
What the System Does
Six functions built on one set of metered data, from the 15-minute demand interval to the monthly bill
Real-time demand monitoring and over-contract early warning
Projects the current 15-minute demand interval before it closes and raises an alert before the contracted capacity is exceeded.
Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) tariff plan simulation
Runs the measured load curve against alternative Taipower tariff plans and shows which plan costs less for the way the plant actually runs.
Taipower bill import and reconciliation
Imports the electronic bill (CSV) and cross-checks each billing period against metered consumption, so consumption on the bill can be traced back to the metered circuits.
Contract capacity optimization
Evaluates the contracted capacity against the measured demand curve so the basic charge is sized to real peak demand, not to a guess.
Equipment utilization analytics
Derives running, idle and stopped time for each machine from its power signature, without touching the machine's controller.
Power event log and alert push
Records trips, voltage anomalies and over-contract events with their waveforms, and pushes alerts by email and Telegram.
System Architecture
Meters on the panels, an industrial gateway in the cabinet, and a web management system fed over MQTT
Meters & CT
Energy meters and current transformers on each panel and circuit, read over Modbus RTU
Industrial gateway
Polls the meters, runs the management application and publishes the data over MQTT
MQTT broker
Publishes the metered data to the management system and to any plant system that subscribes
Management system
Web dashboard for demand, tariff analysis, utilization and alerts
Management Dashboard
The management system runs on the gateway's web platform. Dashboards, tariff analysis and utilization reports are built from the same metered data, so the plant and the office look at one set of numbers.
How We Deliver
Three steps from the first panel count to a validated, handed-over system
Site survey
Count the panels and circuits, confirm measurement points and wiring conditions.
Installation and commissioning
Install meters, CTs and the gateway, set up communications and the management platform.
Acceptance and training
Validate data against the bill, train operators, hand over with ongoing support.
