30 March 2022 – Digalox® IoT Platform: Energy monitoring in manufacturing companies

How the use of high-quality measuring instruments can help to optimise processes and save energy.

High-quality measuring instruments are crucial in industrial environments, particularly when it comes to energy savings. Accurate measurement data on energy consumption is essential to ensure that equipment operates at maximum efficiency and that energy is not wasted unnecessarily. This is where high-quality measuring instruments must be used to provide precise readings that help manufacturers make informed decisions and devise processes to optimise their energy consumption.

TDE Instruments has developed a solution that can be used effectively for this purpose: the Digalox® Industrial IoT Platform is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for connecting machines and devices in the industrial sector. It comprises, on the one hand, the Digalox® hardware platform, consisting of measurement, control and networking devices. The second component is the Transconnect® IoT software platform, comprising an integration server, various databases and corresponding application programmes for visualisation, monitoring, alerting and management.

As we have seen, accurate measurements are essential for identifying areas where energy consumption can be reduced, which can lead to significant financial benefits for businesses.
Digalox® measuring instruments provide precise and reliable real-time data on current, voltage, fill level, production output and other key variables.
The data collected enables the operator, amongst other things, to identify areas of waste, so that energy consumption and other metrics can be monitored and any anomalies or inefficiencies that may arise can be detected.
Furthermore, the use of precise measuring instruments ensures compliance with statutory standards and also helps to improve the safety of industrial processes by enabling potential hazards to be identified and accidents to be prevented. This not only protects staff, but also helps to minimise costly downtime that can result from accidents or equipment failures.

In short: Investing in high-quality measuring equipment is a wise decision for any industry looking to save money, optimise processes, reduce waste and create safer working environments for its staff. The Digalox® Industrial IoT Platform can provide effective support in this regard, particularly as it is ideally suited to retrofitting.
