The Client

India based water heater manufacturer with production plants in multiple locations. Manufactures water heaters on a continuous production line, with discrete automation.

The Problem

They didn't have an understanding of their utility consumption pattern. They need to benchmark and enable comparison of the on-going consumption with target levels and take corrective steps if necessary, and required anomalous consumption identification and alerting.

Our Approach

  • Networked the energy meters and the gateway at the factory via RS-485 serial loop
  • Flow meters connected to IO Module which converts Modbus RTU protocol to Modbus TCP & transport data over LAN which is plugged to gateway downlink
  • Delpheon Gateway collects the data from the devices and pushes data to Delpheon platform hosted in Azure Cloud over the secure LAN plugged on its uplink
  • Specific KPI dashboards for benchmarking and comparisons.
  • Anomaly detection using AI/ML
  • Heatmaps and dynamic charts to easily compare consumption at various levels
