How can I benefit from Phoenix?

The PhoenixSentry™ family of devices will save time and money and you'll always know exactly what your equipment is doing!

 

PhoenixSentry™ is a cost effective method to monitor and protect critical equipment and assets utilizing the Internet and cellular technology.

Here is how you realize benefits:

  • Reduce expensive maintenance – replace a defective component before it goes bad and brings down the entire process – perform a preventive maintenance ONLY when it's needed, not when it's scheduled. Eliminate unnecessary preventive maintenance costs.
  • Reduce the need to physically inspect each site – PhoenixSentry customers have reduced the cost needed to send technicians to each equipment site. Now a technician simply needs to use his web browser to inspect dozens of installations at a time. By inference, any service equipment (trucks, gasoline, travel costs) is eliminated as well.
  • Power monitoring – collect and analyze plant data in order to reduce energy costs. View energy usage in real time; determine peak energy costs and plant inefficiencies that cost money.
    • Examine phase current unbalances – unbalances increase energy costs – allows the ability to determine and correct phase unbalance problems by re-wiring or repairing installed equipment.
    • Examine power factor – a power factor level below one (1) will increase your energy costs by requiring you to draw more power than required. Determine which pieces of equipment need to be corrected (capacitor banks) or correct on a building wide level.
    • Rolling 15-minute peak average calculations. Commercial and industrial electricity costs are determined by the highest 15-minute rolling period in a month. That means, if your plant only draws maximum power for 15 minutes a month you will be charged the peak demand rate for the entire month. The cost penalties can be from several thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. PhoenixSentry constantly monitors this rolling demand and alerts you when your demand gets close to a pre-determined limit you've set!
  • Asset protection
    • Food storage units are typically monitored. A facility can lose several thousand dollars should a refrigerator or freezer break down. PhoneixSentry is not only limited to fixed locations such as buildings but also supports mobile refrigeration units (semi-tractor trailers).
    • Storage warehouses – security (doors, windows, status of security measures)
