Energy Consumption Visibility

Problem Statement

Industries and utilities often lack real-time visibility into energy consumption at equipment or feeder level. This leads to energy losses, undetected inefficiencies, and difficulty in identifying abnormal usage patterns.

Ground Reality

In most installations, energy data is either:

• Available only at main meter level (not equipment-level)
• Recorded manually with large time gaps
• Not analyzed for actionable insights
• Unavailable in real-time for decision making

Solution Approach

Hexitronics proposes a simple yet powerful 2-sensor energy monitoring solution using:

• Current Sensor: Measures load current to determine actual consumption behavior
• Voltage Sensor: Captures supply conditions and voltage fluctuations

The IoT system continuously measures electrical parameters and transmits processed data to the cloud over a 4G network.

Sensor Logic (Core Intelligence)

• Current > Threshold → Equipment is ON
• Current = 0 → Equipment is OFF
• Voltage fluctuations → Supply instability
• High current with low voltage → Potential stress condition
