The Ground-Breaking Additional Use Case for GHG and CO2 Emission Tracking To Support Asset Owners in the Energy Transition Using Wireless Vibration Sensors.
Energy consumption and carbon footprint minimisation have become major concerns for businesses and organisations worldwide. With the growing pressure to reduce emissions and achieve net-zero goals, it is essential for companies to have a comprehensive understanding of their energy consumption patterns. One way to achieve an aspect of this, whilst also performing wireless vibration monitoring is by utilising IIoT wireless vibration sensors such as the innovative technology offered by Miniotec.

A Wireless Vibration Sensor that Differentiates
This wireless vibration sensor offers an added feature to help manufacturers and operators track the energy consumption patterns for their motor-driven equipment. Within each wireless sensor are 6 sensors in 1 device, one of which is a magnetic flux sensors. Through integrating high-quality magnetic flux data obtained by the wireless vibration monitoring system with machine health, the wireless system is able to calculate the change in power usage. This helps to determine which assets are consuming higher energy (an outcome or problematic operation) and thus provides asset performance insight that enables maintenance teams to identify 'bad actors' and mitigate any inefficiencies in their energy consumption as well as monitor vibration data.
Miniotec offers the world’s only 6-in-1 sensor (integrated triaxial accelerometer, wireless temperature sensor (measures surface temperature), magnetic flux, RPM (speed) extraction, acoustic (inaudible range) and humidity), long battery life, broad frequency range and sample rate, withstands high temperatures, high data quality, with fully automated anomaly detection, failure mode classification and remaining useful life determination (RUL) using sophisticated machine learning and signal processing algorithms that easily connects to a cloud platform.
Therefore, in addition to offering predictive maintenance capabilities, these wireless sensors also transmit data to enable asset owners to reduce their carbon footprint and save on energy costs. By understanding the cost of energy lost across the facility, asset owners, regardless of industry sector, can estimate the extra CO2 emissions released by poorly operating equipment. Additionally, by keeping track of how much energy assets are using as a result of unhealthy operation, companies can take steps to reduce their GHG emissions and carbon footprint.
One of the unique benefits of this wireless IIoT sensor is its vast data collection capability which enables it to monitor power consumption and CO2 emissions in near real-time through the sensor's integrated magnetic flux sensor. By tracking the change in energy consumption of various motors within industrial equipment, asset owners can understand the holistic health of their rotating equipment and take corrective steps to reduce their operating costs by identifying and eliminating unhealthy conditions. Additionally, by monitoring the change in energy consumption and resultant increase in CO2 emissions, asset owners can measure the excess CO2 emitted by unhealthy machines under fault conditions and take steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
Another important aspect of energy GHG and CO2 Emission tracking is the ability to track the monetary value of total energy lost across motor-driven assets. With advanced AI, the wireless vibration sensor can assist companies to keep track of the total cost of lost energy. This information can be used to make informed decisions and take steps to reduce energy waste and costs.
The Added Benefits of the LTE Communication Protocol
The wireless sensors offered by Miniotec have the added benefit of reducing CO2 emissions and GHG emissions through how they are installed. The wireless sensor does not require a Gateway, making deployment and condition monitoring the quickest and simplest of all competitive sensors. And unlike fix-wired sensors, wireless sensors using a LTE wireless protocol do not require excavation or trenching, which are energy-intensive and generate significant amounts of GHG emissions.
Similar to how your smartphone connects to a cellular network, a version of the vibration sensor Miniotec provides can connect directly to the nearby cellular or LTE network. The sensor is easy to install so it only takes 5 to 10 minutes to send data and to be connected, providing a solution to enable the tracking GHG emissions and support a strategy to achieve net-zero goals.
Another important factor is that wireless sensors can be more easily relocated, which can reduce the overall carbon footprint of their adoption. For example, if a wired sensor becomes damaged or if the monitoring requirements change, the entire sensor must be typically replaced, including the wiring and the associated excavation and trenching. In contrast, wireless sensors can be easily replaced or relocated to a new location, reducing the need for excavation, trenching and associated emissions.
