Managing a facility, whether industrial or commercial, without granular energy data is like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces—inefficiencies accumulate, but you can't identify where. Many engineering and operations teams still rely on outdated power meters that only provide periodic readings. This delay makes it difficult to detect issues quickly, resulting in wasted resources, higher utility costs, and missed optimization opportunities.
Traditional smart meters capture energy data in batches, offering periodic readings. However, by the time you receive the data, it’s already outdated, making it difficult to act quickly. This lag prevents teams from spotting inefficiencies and making timely adjustments, which can mean the difference between energy waste and potential savings.
Unlocking Efficiency with Smart Energy Monitoring (SEM)
With Smart Energy Monitoring (SEM), you gain continuous, actionable insights into your energy consumption. Acting as your Energy AI Assistant, SEM tracks every watt of energy used, pinpoints inefficiencies in real time, and offers smart recommendations. It even simulates potential savings from operational adjustments or investments in energy-efficient technology, allowing you to make data-driven decisions with confidence.
Key Features of SEM
Cloud Storage Transmission: Data is sent directly to the cloud for instant processing, ensuring your energy consumption data is always up-to-date and accessible.
Real-Time Monitoring: Track energy consumption anytime, anywhere through a live dashboard displaying up-to-the-minute data.
Operation Analyzer: Simulate the impact of new operations scheduling and decreased consumption to identify additional savings without trial and error.
Sentinel Trends: Detect anomalies in energy consumption by benchmarking against average hourly usage.
Effortless Reporting: Receive daily, weekly, or custom reports in various formats, such as PDFs, along with alerts if consumption exceeds expected loads.
Portfolio Analyst: Visualize energy data over different time periods to understand key energy drivers.
Expert Analysis: Our team reviews your data and provides actionable recommendations to optimize your energy use.
A Success Story: Philippine Spring Water Resources, Inc. (PSWI)
At SolX Technologies, we've helped over 130 clients—including Philippine Spring Water Resources Inc. (PSWRI or Nature’s Spring) and Splash Corporation—cut their energy costs by up to 25%.
One standout case is PSWRI, where SEM identified a compressor consuming 8 kW of energy even when idle. SEM's insights led to:
Overnight Energy Waste Reduction: Identifying and eliminating unnecessary energy consumption during idle periods.
Shutdown Savings: Implementing an off-hours shutdown strategy that saves PSWRI ₱240,000 annually.
Optimized Operations: Ensuring the compressor runs efficiently on weekdays while remaining off on Sundays.
Additional Cost Savings: Detecting inefficiencies, such as issues with a motor winding heater and a soft starter, allowing PSWRI to explore upgrading to a more energy-efficient compressor.
Work Smarter, Save Smarter with SolX Technologies
The success at PSWRI is just one example of how SEM transforms energy management. With SEM, you gain real-time insights, simulate savings, and receive expert analysis to eliminate inefficiencies and make smarter operational decisions.
Smart energy management isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter. By leveraging SEM, you can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and make data-backed decisions with ease. Don’t let outdated systems hold you back—take control of your energy costs today.
