In the current climate, where sustainability has become a strategic pillar for industrial operations, energy efficiency stands out as a crucial element. This relevance is due, in part, to its proven ability to significantly reduce operating costs—in some cases, up to 40% of the production budget. The integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices further emphasizes the need for sustainable and efficient approaches.
Asset Monitoring and Management: A Prerequisite
To achieve operational and energy efficiency, continuous equipment monitoring is essential. This involves adopting predictive and reliability-centered maintenance techniques, leveraging technologies such as sensors and analytics to anticipate failures before they occur. These practices not only minimize maintenance costs but also ensure that equipment operates optimally, consuming less energy.
The OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) indicator assesses equipment availability, performance, and quality, making it essential for measuring energy efficiency and maintenance effectiveness. Well-maintained equipment is less prone to failures that can lead to unplanned downtime, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs.

Power Bus Temperature Control
Controlling the temperature of power buses is emerging as a critical aspect for the efficiency of the energy system within industrial facilities. Operations with power buses at elevated temperatures are indicative of energy losses that not only affect efficiency but also increase the risk of operational failures. The adoption of real-time temperature monitoring systems is therefore essential to ensure early intervention in energy inefficiency scenarios, such as inadequate electrical connections or overload situations.
By implementing these technologies, it is possible not only to prevent overheating failures but also to promote safer and more efficient operation of power buses. This practice ensures that operating temperatures are maintained within optimal limits, contributing significantly to optimizing energy consumption and ensuring the safety of facilities.
Flexible Architecture and Interoperability
Bridgemeter's flexibility, compatible with a variety of sensors and systems, enhances energy efficiency. With its flexible architecture, it offers a hardware and software solution that adapts to any type of sensor, PLC, or industrial equipment. Compatibility with SCADA/ERP systems and the ability to integrate predictive analytics reinforce its position as an essential tool for metering point interoperability.
