2. Do you Digitize?

Yes

A. Are you helping a customer deploy centralized utility data management and monitoring software for energy and carbon analysis and reporting?

Power Monitoring Expert

B. With your help, is a customer metering major energy loads to uncover opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions?

Yes, Customer is using Energy meters to monitor the Electrical data of major loads, as well as monitoring compressed Air and LNG consumption through flow meters.

C. Are you helping a customer monitor energy efficiency and equipment performance to gain actionable insights?

Customer is keeping an eye on the losses through customized daily report which we have developed specifically for them as per their requirement.

D. Are you enabling a customer to use power management and monitoring solutions to assess power quality and increase business resiliency and continuity?

Yes, many customers of ours (e.g. Honda Motorcycle & Scooters India Pvt. Ltd., Essar Steel, Essar Power etc.) are using ION and PM meters at their plants to monitor PQ.

E. On behalf of a customer, have you deployed innovations to maximize the efficiency and digitalization of their operations?

Honda is using SMS alarms on Winding and Oil temperatures of all their transformers by using the analog inputs of ION meters.

F. Have you implemented asset upgrades and modernization programs for a customer to optimize and increase the longevity of their plant equipment and avoid emissions ?

No

G. Have you embraced the digital integration of power and process for a customer as a way to minimize energy consumption while optimizing their process?

Yes. in Honda, apart from Electrical, we have integrated all their utilities like air compressors, air washers, Sewage treatment plant, Waste treatment plant, zero liquid discharge plant, boiler, steam generator etc. and all of them are being monitored and controlled through our software. Daily reports are generated for all these processes and a sharp eye is kept on their efficiency through our system.
