Low-Cost Wireless System for Measuring Energy Efficiency in Industry

Currently, energy efficiency is a major concern for all companies. This paper presents a system based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), offering a low cost solution for improving energy efficiency in industry. Relevant data is collected by multiple nodes, provided with sensors and located at key points in the factory. This data can then be analyzed to provide information on power consumption and energy utilization. The system has been implemented and tested in a meat processing company. In this way, companies can know their energy efficiency and take appropriate actions to improve efficiency.
