Energy is one of a factory’s biggest expenses. Managing energy usage is therefore an important aspect of reducing costs and maximizing profits. Additionally, maintaining high power quality is essential to any industrial facility. Industry studies show that up to 40% of all downtime is power quality related, 80% of these issues originate within the facility, and 50% of mission critical power outages are due to power quality issues. Downtime results in significant economic loss for a factory.

EIG’s power and energy meters have advanced power quality monitoring features. When paired with EIG’s energy management software – the HMIPQA+^™ SCADA application and the EnergyPQA.com^® AI driven energy management system, industrial facilities gain multiple ways to proactively identify potential power issues and optimize energy usage, reducing downtime, extending equipment lifespan, and improving overall operational efficiency. Implementing a SCADA application that is customized to a specific factory’s needs allows facility managers to track their energy usage in all areas of the facility and to take action when problems are indicated.

A factory’s successful work depends on its equipment remaining in good condition. By monitoring energy usage and power quality in all parts of the factory, the HMIPQA+^™ SCADA solution enables operators to view real time conditions and be immediately alerted to any problems with their critical equipment. Having this information in one central location enables early detection of issues, so that facility managers can perform preventative maintenance before failures occur or expensive equipment is damaged. The HMIPQA+^™ application supports multiple third party devices and protocols that enable it to interface with existing equipment management systems.
