Heavy Equipment Manufacturer Energy Monitoring
The client needed to track energy used in various buildings in a heavy equipment facility. The system reads data from over
20 electric meters, 2 gas flow meters, and various gas and steam flow transducers. The system calculates delivered
energy and demand based on collected data.
The system calculates an electric energy budget for each day based on a monthly energy
contract limit and compares actual use to budget throughout the month.
Users can access the system from any location
in the plant using standard browser software.

University Electrical System and Energy Monitoring
The initial scope of this system was to track energy use in a new medical research building.
From that initial scope the system has expanded to tracking energy and demand in eight buildings
on the medical school campus. System managers plan to expand the system further to cover most
of the buildings on campus including electric energy and critical status points on the electrical system.

Gold Mining and Processing Control
This system enables plant operators to monitor and control a gold processing facility and
monitor the leaching process in the mine. Gold ore is hauled from the mine to a leach pad
where gold is pulled into a solution and then depositied onto filter material. The enriched filter material is
then moved to the processing facility where the gold is prepared for transport to their customers. The system monitors
almost every phase of the project from the leaching pad to finished gold.

College Electrical System Monitoring
This system monitors campus electrical use in most campus buildings. Data is collected from power electric meters
throughout the campus. In addition to energy use and demand, the system calculates a predicted demand for
the campus and each monitored building.

Data Warehouse Energy Billing
The client needed to track energy consumed by computers dedicated to different clients in a server farm.
The system collects energy use from meters installed in power distribution units and calculates monthly energy
use and demand for each unit. Monthly reports provide energy use, maximum demand and cost for each of the client's
customers.
