This real-time notification capability ensures you can swiftly address deviations, optimize efficiency, and maximize savings, turning potential costly risks into proactive financial protection.
Customized Triggers for Seamless Monitoring
At Augos, we are committed to equipping our clients with cutting-edge features that enhance their energy management experience. Our powerful Triggers & Alerts functionality is designed to keep you well-informed and proactive about your consumption, ensuring you are alerted only when necessary.
Setting up triggers is a breeze. They can be tailored to your specific requirements, allowing you to receive real-time notifications as soon as your chosen energy parameters reach pre-defined, or out of specification, levels. Stay in full control by setting personalized thresholds for:
- Power Factor Levels
- Electric Current
- Maximum Demand
- Voltage and more
Client Success Story: Power Factor Protection
Recently, a satisfied client shared a success story enabled by our demand triggers feature, which demonstrates the critical value of timely intervention.
They received a trigger indicating their Power Factor was below optimal levels. Thanks to this timely notification, they were able to promptly fix their power factor correction system. This swift, proactive intervention successfully mitigated the demand impact, avoiding a significant financial penalty that, due to the utility's tariff structure, would have negatively impacted their demand charge for the entire following 12 months. This is why the ability to manage utilities and protect assets in real-time is indispensable.
Real-Time Insights for Optimal Efficiency
Our comprehensive system continuously monitors all aspects of your electricity usage, providing you with actionable insights for informed decision-making. By leveraging these custom triggers, you can swiftly address any deviations, optimize energy efficiency, and ensure that critical processes stay within operating ranges.
In essence, the Augos smart trigger engine helps you run a smoother and more efficient operation, empowering you to focus on what truly matters: financial assurance and optimal performance.
South African Context: 12-Month Demand Penalty Protection
In South African commercial and industrial tariffs, Maximum Demand (kVA) charges are often calculated on the highest peak recorded during a measurement cycle. Critically, many tariffs dictate that a demand penalty can lock in for the following 12 months. The Augos Trigger Engine provides the only reliable defense against this severe financial risk by proactively alerting operations teams to critical events (like a PFC failure) before the high demand reading is officially registered by the utility.
