Diesel generator monitoring is a hardware and software solution for fuel monitoring, monitoring of diesel generator operation parameters and engine diagnostics, receiving electrical data from alternator and remote genset control.
Smart solution for remote monitoring of diesel gensets allows ensuring uninterrupted operation of DG, reducing fuel and operation costs, optimizing maintenance schedule and preventing generator service outage, thus extending genset life cycle.
Diesel generator monitoring field of application
Remote diesel generator monitoring (also called generator telematics) is used for industrial and residential power generators, which are used as main, reserve or auxiliary energy source.
Users of the system:
Owners and operators of generators. Remote supervision of operation and diesel generator management, genset fuel monitoring, getting data for accounting and predictive maintenance.
Servicing companies, engaged in DG maintenance and repairs. Diagnostics of engine and alternator, operating time monitoring, maintenance scheduling, just-in-time servicing and replacement of consumables.
Diesel generator manufacturers. Remote monitoring of genset operation, engine and alternator health monitoring and overall genset diagnostics, gathering failure statistics, planning adjustments to genset design.
