Key Takeaways

A factory with over 300 air conditioners in production areas and offices faces significant electricity consumption and energy management challenges. InHand's xEnergy solution delivers comprehensive energy-saving and emission-reduction capabilities through real-time monitoring, automated strategies, and data analysis to enhance HVAC management efficiency.

Background

A factory has over 300 air conditioners in production areas and offices, leading to high electricity usage. Due to lack of control, air conditioners often running in unoccupied areas, have windows open while operating, or are left on after hours, causing significant energy waste. Management wants to reduce this waste and set energy targets for departments but lacks the necessary data. To reduce energy waste from air conditioning, the client seeks to implement smart saving measures and monitor usage by department to set benchmarks and assign energy-saving targets.

Customer Requirements

Environmental
Monitoring
Provide sensors to monitor conditions related to air conditioning, such as human presence and window status.
AC Operation Tracking
Offer a solution for monitoring air conditioner operation and electricity usage, including on/off status and operating temperature.
Energy Usage Analysis
Enable categorization and detailed analysis of energy usage by department, including tools for YoY and MoM comparisons to identify abnormal consumption.
Energy-Saving
Strategies
Implement strategies like automatically turning off the AC when windows are open or the area is unoccupied to reduce costs.

Solution

Industrial factory HVAC system optimized with InHand's xEnergy solution for energy savings

InHand Networks’ xEnergy solution allows the factory to transparently manage and analyze energy consumption, setting department-specific energy-saving targets to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness.

The AG512 converts air conditioner data, which is collected by the IG502 and uploaded to Eagle Energy Manager for visualization, analysis, and savings. Managers can analyze energy usage by department using tools like energy flow charts and YoY/MoM comparisons. Department managers can configure strategies, such as temperature settings and automatic shutdowns, and remotely monitor AC status via mobile devices.

Benefits

Enhanced Management
Efficiency
Eagle Energy Manager offers tools like energy flow charts, MoM/YoY comparisons, and deviation analysis to automate energy data analysis and set precise energy-saving targets.
