🏭 Smart Energy Monitoring System - Manufacturing Unit
Factory I/O Integration Dashboard
Purpose
Real-time energy waste detection for manufacturing unit simulation. Monitors voltage, current, power usage across 4 machines + calculates:
- Energy Waste (Actual vs Ideal power)
- Burn Risk % (Overvoltage detection)
- Cost Savings potential
- Critical Alerts (Risk >50%)
Monitored Components
1. Lighting Circuit (Bulb1-4): 3.2V supplied (2V ideal) → 140% waste
2. Conveyor Motor: 3.2V supplied (2.5V ideal) → 76% waste
3. CNC Spindle: 5.5V supplied (4V ideal) → 45% waste
4. Assembly Robot: 13.8V supplied (12V ideal) → 15% waste
Key Metrics Displayed
🔴 GAUGE: Risk % (0-100, Red>50)
📈 CHART: Power usage over time
💰 VALUE: Daily waste cost ($0.34)
🚨 ALERT: Critical machines list
Data Source
Factory I/O OPC UA Server (localhost:4840)
OR Manual CSV input from simulation
Tags: /Energy/Bulb1/Voltage, /Energy/Bulb1/Waste, etc.
Outputs/Alerts
• Email/SMS when Risk > 50%
• CSV Export for reports
• Mobile dashboard (ui)
Setup Instructions
1. Factory I/O → Enable OPC UA (Port 4840)
2. Deploy this flow
3. View dashboard: http://instance/ui
4. Watch waste detection live!
