Power monitoring sensors are clipped on to the wires in the electrical panel running power to each machine, which then take real-time measurements of the electrical current flowing through the wires to track each machines power consumption. Power metering sensors are also installed to monitor the power quality of the site.
Measurements taken by these sensors are then routed to an online dashboard, where admins can login to view the power consumption of each device in the facility, report on energy use for measurement and verification purposes, learn opportunities for efficiency gains, and create automatic alerts for devices seeing erratic or faulty activity.
