Digital Industrial Gas Consumption Monitoring and Analytics

Problem Overview

Industrial gas consumption requires systematic digital monitoring to understand usage patterns, identify abnormal consumption and support cost and resource-efficiency improvement. Manual meter readings provide limited granularity and delayed visibility. The challenge is to develop a digital gas-consumption monitoring system that records usage by relevant plant/process and provides trends, alerts and consumption analytics.

Industrial Context & Background

Utilities / Energy & Resource Management / Industrial IoT

Technical Requirements

1) Compatible flow/meter data capture
2) Plant/process-wise identification
3) Configurable abnormal-use thresholds
4) Historical dashboard
5) Secure data logging
6) Report export

Suggested Technology Stack: Gas Flow Meter; IoT Gateway; Database; Resource Analytics; Dashboard

Expected Solution & Prototype

1) Gas consumption automatically recorded by selected meter/zone
2) Shift/day/month consumption calculated
3) Abnormal consumption deviations automatically identified
4) Specific gas consumption per production unit calculated where applicable
5) Data availability/uptime measured
6) Cost/consumption reduction opportunities quantified
