OpenSmartMonitor - Smart Solutions

Addressing high water temperatures and a dripping tap, Lindhurst lowered the thermostat and installed push taps, significantly reducing energy usage. Monitoring machinery and overall electricity revealed productivity issues, allowing adjustments. Tracking various parameters, from gas to noise levels, provides valuable insights, with potential annual energy cost savings of £25k, advancing Lindhurst toward Net-Zero.

Since installing four OpenSense Solutions, including a roving sensor, Trimmings identified inefficiencies in machinery, modifying a dual-motor system to a single, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, monitoring and adjusting building temperature has led to significant gas usage reduction.

Unable to monitor anodising paint chambers, a solution was devised using current clamps connected to the tanks anodes, allowing real-time data recording displayed on a dashboard with remote network access. The system promptly detected a failed anode upon implementation, showcasing its effectiveness from day 1.

How do I install this?

Devtank offer two main options a self-service DIY approach or a pre-configured fully managed service we call SBI (learn More). The self-service option is where we supply sensors which need to be configured and managed by your own professionals. The Sustainable Business Intelligence (SBI) solution is an out the box experience and designed to take the hassle away from you, we know time is precious and you have enough to do already! Installation is simple as possible and we will walk you through the steps with training videos and one-to-one support to get you up and running in no time.

What are the benefits of OpenSmartMonitor?

The OpenSmartMonitor product range will help you to: observe energy usage and waste across your entire operations; calculate your effective carbon emissions (CO2e) on a real time basis; predictive maintenance, set alarms and alerts on key parameters to warn you early if there is a problem; resource utilisation, see how well key plant/assets/equipment are utilised and calculate the unit cost of operating these resources.

Environmental monitoring – ensure you have real time monitoring of key health and safety parameters such as noise levels, temperature and air quality. Can also be used for auditing purposes.

Can I add more parameters on later?

Yes absolutely! Many parameters can be configured after installation and additional sensors can be added to your premises. Our sensors use either Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN wireless networks or hardwired PoE network cables. This means they are compatible with 99% of industrial installation situations. Our open source approach to interoperability, standards and integration means you can also add sensors from other manufacturers on the same network. We won't hold you hostage!
