TRACK AND REDUCE
THE EQUIPMENT ENERGY CONSUMPTION 24/7
Reduce equipment energy consumption without compromising on output and performance.
Conveniently track and monitor the machinery's power consumption to shed light on usage while on standby or at different speed levels.
How it works
Factbird's energy monitoring solution, which utilizes off-the-shelf current transducers, offers an easy Plug-and-Play solution. The solution allows for easy measurement of current consumption in both single-phase and three-phase systems, providing estimates of total power consumption.
By connecting current transducers of clip-on types to Factbird® devices, the data is securely transmitted to the Factbird® cloud server. The current data can be converted to energy consumption measure in kilowatts (kW), analyzed and visualized together with other relevant data such as production output.
Factbird® offers four types of standard transducers depending on the maximum current draw of the machines. Our standard current transducers measure up to 50A, 150A, 250A, and 500A. Other current transducers can be used for specific use cases.
Key features
