2. Smooth & efficient utilisation of the valuable industrial assets is one of the keys to success in any business. Moreover, in
order to meet customers' needs and service demands in a cost-effective manner, the operating staff needs to optimize &
utilize the available resources effectively. EcoAxis (a business unit of A.T.E. Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.) offers remote monitoring
solutions for effective management of the industrial assets thus improving the productivity and reliability.
What can the RMS monitor?
Solution Architecture
Astandard management axiom states that “you cannot manage what you cannot measure”. Thus for efficient management of
valuable facility assets like DG sets, it is essential to measure critical parameters such as :
ŸEnergy generated
ŸElectrical quality parameters like voltage, current, power factor, etc.
ŸFuel consumption and fuel tank level
ŸCritical engine parameters like battery voltage, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, lube oil pressure etc.
ŸCritical alternator parameters like harmonics, winding temperatures etc.
ŸCritical ambient parameters like ambient temperature & humidity, canopy temperature, canopy door open/close status etc.
ŸRun hours of each DG set
ŸMaintenance schedule and periodic checks
ŸLoad on DG sets and load patterns
EcoAxis has a proven Internet of Things (IoT) based solution based system has been widely used by end users as well as
OEMs for analyzing critical operation & maintenance processes of their products/ processes through use of big data
analytics.
This Remote Monitoring System (RMS) helps in collating data & analyzing the various parameters related to the
performance of DG sets. The critical parameters can be monitored continuously on a near real-time basis. The continuous
monitoring and analysis of these parameters is helpful in managing operations as well as scheduling maintenance activities
of different subsystems to ensure effective availability of the plant to meet the demand.
RMS helps OEMs / users in following ways:
ŸProvides a platform for monitoring a global installed base of DG sets – any device, anytime, anywhere
ŸProvides authentic information to take corrective actions & helps for root cause analysis
ŸMonitors critical parameters and performances across multiple locations
ŸMonitors service due based on run hours, evaluates its adherence and effectiveness of service
through comparison of performance pre and post service
ŸCompares against benchmarks / norms
ŸInitiates notifications & escalate them to ensure follow-through, if needed
ŸProvides alerts & notifications on smart devices through SMS & e-Mail
ŸIntegrates with smart devices like iPad, android phones, etc. thus providing platform of your choice
ŸImproves reliability & uptime of DG set and reducesTotal Cost of Ownership (TCO)
ŸProvides a platform for managing deployment of service personnel & spares
