InHand xEnergy system monitoring factory energy usage with real-time data displays

Key Takeaways

Routine factory inspections are vital for safety, but traditional manual methods are time-consuming and inefficient. InHand's xEnergy solution optimizes energy management with real-time monitoring, automated reporting, and comprehensive analysis to enhance maintenance efficiency while reducing costs and supporting sustainability.

Background

Routine factory inspections are vital for safety, but traditional manual methods are time-consuming and inefficient. The lack of transparency in energy use further complicates monitoring and identifying wasteful practices or high-energy equipment. With stricter environmental regulations and the drive toward digital and green transformation, companies must enhance operational efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain competitiveness. Implementing an effective energy management solution is key to overcoming these challenges and improving overall performance.

Solution

InHand xEnergy monitoring system visualizing factory energy energy consumption data

InHand Networks implemented the xEnergy solution to help achieve transparent data management and efficient energy analysis, ensuring compliance with regulations. The IG502 edge gateway connects meters and circuit breakers, collecting data on electricity, water, and environmental factors. This data is converted and sent to the environmental bureau while also being uploaded to Eagle Energy Manager for visualization and analysis. Maintenance teams monitor equipment in real-time, and managers use the platform for energy analysis, automated reports, and performance insights.
