IoT systems to save energy and optimize performance

TERA4Industry systems are based on the Smart Gateway GIoE (Gateway for Internet of Everything), designed specifically for the industrial sector, which through the most popular IoT protocols allows communication with various types of devices (sensors / meters / detectors / actuators of different manufacturers and different protocols: vendor-lock-in free approach) and sending data to the Tera4Industry portal.

GIoE: the control unit for the Smart Industry

/_next/static/media/gioe_.c24503ab.png

GIoE is a multiprotocol peripheral computer that allows full configurability, modularity, and scalability. GIoE can be used in combination with third-party software platforms / tools / frameworks for the implementation of an integrated management and control system: compliant with “FRAMEWORK” (as for OSGI OpnenHab) and tools (MQTT, REST / API, NODE-RED, HomeAssistant, OPC-UA, etc.), as well as FIN FRAMEWORK by J2Innovation (a Siemens company), a powerful and flexible software environment for designers, System Integrators, and OEMs. GIoE can be equipped with over 10 communication protocols and can run algorithms of all types thanks to its computational properties. The computer is also able to communicate with the smart meter reader and to read the 1G and 2G e-distribution smart meters.

Beeta® Moco (or simply Beeta MoCo) is a small-scale edge computer that falls within the broad category of Smart Grids Controller devices for managing the functionalities of smart grids, such as Demand Response, BESS - Battery Energy Storage Systems, Modulation Control.

GIoE connectable devices allow you to measure:

Consumptions

We carefully monitor energy consumption and production in various areas: from the production line to lighting, from individual machinery to thermal energy. We analyze the consumption of thermal machines, photovoltaic systems, and the energy flow in fluid systems. Our goal is to optimize efficiency and reduce costs, ensuring a conscious use of energy resources.

Processes

We monitor various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, brightness, and air quality to ensure optimal working conditions. Additionally, we control the temperature on machinery and production lines, manage gas/liquid pressures, and monitor the force and liquid levels. Finally, we track the number of pieces produced and rejected to ensure quality and production efficiency.

Environment

We monitor soil moisture, water potential, leaf wetness, and meteorological conditions such as wind direction and speed, precipitation, solar radiation, and atmospheric pressure. These data are crucial for managing irrigation, plant health, and understanding the surrounding climatic conditions.

Technologies and production environments always under control.

Tera 4 Energy

Tera4Energy implements energy monitoring, enabling a path towards energy and production efficiency for the company, while ensuring compliance with Legislative Decree 102/2014. The system involves installing an interoperable Edge Computer with both wireless and wired sensors that collects real-time consumption data. This information is sent to the Tera4Energy software platform (installable on both Server and Cloud), which displays real-time energy consumption information, triggers alerts for threshold exceedances, and stores and makes these data available for customizable further analysis. The dashboard is user-friendly, providing a synoptic view of consumption trends and total production and consumption values, categorized by function, individual department, or building. It extends to the detailed level of each individual machine or energy load, customizable according to the user's needs.
