In the current context, where sustainability has become a strategic pillar for industrial operations, energy efficiency stands out as a crucial element. This relevance is partly due to its proven ability to significantly reduce operating costs—in some cases, by 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, using 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 the availability, performance, and quality of equipment, making it fundamental 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.
Bridgemeter: The IIoT Solution for Energy Efficiency
Specifically designed for critical applications, Bridgemeter enables intelligent remote monitoring, ensuring greater operational safety and an immediate return on investment. Through comprehensive dashboards, it is possible to view real-time information, including predictive analytics, alarms, and notifications.

Temperature Control of Power Busbars
Controlling the temperature of power busbars is emerging as a critical aspect for the effectiveness of the energy system within industrial facilities. Operations with power busbars 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 fundamental to ensuring early interventions in scenarios of energy inefficiency, such as inadequate electrical connections or overload situations.
By implementing these technologies, it is possible not only to prevent failures due to overheating, but also to promote safer and more efficient operation of power busbars. This practice ensures that the operating temperature is maintained within ideal limits, contributing significantly to the optimization of energy consumption and the safety of the installations.
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, and industrial equipment. Compatibility with SCADA/ERP systems and the ability to integrate predictive analytics reinforce its position as an essential tool for the interoperability of measurement points.
SaaS Commercialization Model
Bridgemeter's SaaS model eliminates the need to purchase equipment or system licenses, facilitating the adoption of this technology. With support for a wide range of sensors and devices, Bridgemeter offers flexibility and ease of implementation, reinforcing its value as a key energy efficiency solution for industry.
