Energy Consumption Monitoring System Solution for Manufacturing Enterprises Based on Industrial Internet of Things

With the rapid development of communication technologies, the intelligent construction of various industries has reached a new level.

 The application of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology in energy consumption monitoring systems is extensive, promoting a transformation in the energy consumption optimization management model for industrial enterprises. This transformation helps improve energy utilization efficiency, reduce production costs, and achieve sustainable development.

I. Energy Consumption Analysis of Manufacturing Enterprises

Industrial manufacturing enterprises typically utilize various forms of energy in their daily production and operation processes, including water, electricity, steam, and gas. Among these, electricity is the most significant energy source consumed in industrial production, particularly in motor-driven processes of industrial enterprises, which often involve heat treatment, cutting, forming, drying, bonding, and assembly.

 These processes encompass multiple stages of energy consumption allocation, measurement, and monitoring.

II. Energy Consumption Monitoring System Solution

WideIOT (formerly known as Wutong Bolian) has introduced an energy consumption monitoring system that connects energy consumption data acquisition gateways to intelligent meters such as water meters, electricity meters, and gas meters.

 This system collects data on water, electricity, steam, and gas consumption and interfaces with upper computers or cloud platforms via Modbus/MQTT protocols. The collected data is then visually displayed, managed, and analyzed on an energy consumption data dashboard, providing timely and efficient means for energy consumption control and reliable data support for energy-saving and consumption-reducing efforts.

III. Functional Characteristics of the Energy Consumption Monitoring System

1. Configuration and Grouping: During the connection of energy consumption data acquisition gateways to various intelligent meters, the system allows for configuration, classification, grouping, and information editing.

    This enables quick querying of individual meter data to understand the energy consumption of corresponding equipment, such as central air conditioning systems and lighting systems.

2. Customizable Data Dashboard: Users can freely build personalized energy consumption data dashboards, displaying data in the form of reports, curve graphs, and dashboards to intuitively showcase changes in energy consumption data.

    This facilitates an understanding of energy consumption data across different factories, workshops, and equipment, such as monthly total energy consumption in workshops and weekly energy consumption curve graphs.

3. Alarm Rules and Energy-Saving Indicators: Based on historical data, the system establishes reasonable alarm rules and energy-saving indicators.

    When equipment failures or abnormal energy consumption are detected, the system automatically triggers alarms via WeChat, SMS, or email, enabling precise positioning and prompt action to ensure production safety.

4. System Integration and Data Sharing: The system integrates with central air conditioning, boilers, air compressors, PLCs, DCSs, MES, ERP, and other systems, providing API data interfaces for quick data sharing and facilitating the creation of digital, intelligent, and information-based manufacturing factories.
