Diesel Generator Monitoring

Use Case

Real-time monitoring of diesel generators in manufacturing

Uptime is essential in manufacturing to stay on track with production targets and expense ratios.

Due to potential power fluctuations and brownouts, many manufacturers rely on diesel power generators to help maintain a consistent level of power to production environments in case of an outage.

Challenges for these backup power systems include manual inspections and the potential for fuel theft that leave the generators in less than optimal condition when needed for production. IoT capabilites introduce new options in improving reliability and performance of diesel generators.
