The energy consumption of a production workshop in a certain automotive parts factory in Suzhou has long been like a "confused account": the total electricity bill continues to be high, but it is difficult to pinpoint which equipment consumes electricity abnormally during non production periods or "steals" energy under inefficient working conditions. The traditional manual meter reading mode is not only inefficient and time-consuming, but also leads to energy consumption data lagging behind the actual production by 3-5 working days, which cannot provide support for real-time scheduling and energy efficiency optimization. In addition, before equipment trips suddenly due to electrical hazards such as overload and three-phase imbalance, there is often a lack of effective warning, and each unplanned shutdown may cause tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan in production losses and order delays. This series of problems has long plagued many production managers, becoming a key bottleneck that restricts manufacturing enterprises from reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and implementing refined management.
Nowadays, with the maturity of industrial Internet of Things technology, WiFi smart meters are systematically solving the above-mentioned industrial energy management problems with their dual capabilities of "millisecond level accurate measurement+real-time wireless transmission". By installing an independent intelligent monitoring terminal for each key equipment and building a workshop level wireless sensor network, managers can realize the whole process transparent monitoring of power consumption, automatic identification and early warning of abnormal energy consumption, thus promoting the evolution of energy management from "post statistics" to "pre warning, in-process regulation" intelligent mode.
Equipment level refined energy consumption monitoring requirements
It is necessary to achieve independent energy metering for key equipment, public power facilities, and auxiliary systems on the production line. The monitoring dimensions should cover active/reactive power consumption, time-sharing electricity consumption, real-time power, load rate, power factor, and typical power quality parameters. The data acquisition frequency should reach the second level, and support energy consumption data statistical analysis with a time granularity of 5 minutes, providing a data foundation for energy efficiency benchmarking, cost sharing, and energy-saving diagnosis.
Flexible networking and reliable communication requirements for industrial sites
It not only promotes industrial innovation, but also significantly enhances industrial competitiveness, becoming a new driving force for economic growth. Industrial integration can be divided into on-site conditions such as industrial penetration, dispersed layout of production equipment, frequent adjustment of production lines, and complex factory structures (such as signal attenuation caused by metal structures), which require the use of high reliability wireless communication solutions. This solution needs to have strong anti-interference ability, meet the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards for industrial environments, and ensure the ability to cache and resume data locally in case of network interruption, ensuring data integrity. There are three types: cross industry and industrial restructuring.
Enterprise level data security and network isolation requirements
In order to meet the requirements of enterprise information security management system and industry supervision, the whole process of energy consumption data acquisition, transmission and storage runs in the enterprise intranet environment to achieve physical or logical isolation from the Internet.
