MosChip’sREMOTE MONITORING SOLUTIONhelps reduce OPEX for a Bank.

Industry Landscape:

The Opportunity:

Solution:

Client Background:A leading private bank in India established in Mumbai in 1994.

It has more than 1,000 branches in India with offices in London,

Dubai, and Abu Dhabi.

The banking industry depends on the backup diesel

generator for continuous power supply. Different states in India

have different electricity production and any shortage of

production results in frequent power failures.

The client has branches spread across India, both in urban and

rural areas. In case of power failure, every branch is prepared to

use a diesel generator. As different states have different power

production and power cuts, there are large variations in the use

of diesel by different branches.

The client’s maintenance team wanted to monitor the

actual electricity generated versus the diesel consumed by each

branch on a daily and weekly basis. They wanted to identify and

prevent diesel theft and pilferage, verify the correctness of

generator capacity, identify preventive maintenance schedule

based on the actual usage, and check the usage of a generator

outside work hours.

Problems faced by the client were strategically discussed

between MosChip’s technical team and the client’s maintenance

team to understand the pain points and derive the solution for

the same. MosChip’s technical team recommended installing a

remote generator monitor solution with features of fuel sensor,

energy meter, and remote monitoring.

GeoHEMS’ M2M (machine to machine) 24/7 monitoring solution increases the reliability of your generators by eliminating 95% of all Shutdown / Fail-to-Start situations

Implementation of Generator Monitoring System

a. Features of the GeoHEMs systems:

b. Reports:

• Single dashboard for monitoring the present state of all

diesel generator sets in all the branches.

• To monitor the energy parameters, MosChip installed an

energy meter to track energy usage along with the fuel

consumption every day.

• The client’s maintenance team received alerts such as fuel

filling, fuel removal, battery disconnect, low fuel level, low

load were reported immediately via SMS and email.

• History reports of the fuel, engine run hours, and energy

parameters were made available to the client.

• Downloading of the reports in a PDF or Excel format for

ease of reporting/sharing and analysis was also provided.

1. Energy health parameter report: Energy and Fuel

parameters are displayed on the advance monitoring page.

The user can view the real-time graphical data, or the his-

torical trends based on thecustom date selection.

2. Fuel Usage Report: This report shows the fuel

consumption, filling, and removal per day for each branch.

3. Operational Hours: Using the hour meter reader (HMR)

monitoring functionality of GeoHEMS, the maintenance

team can keep track of hours of operation, idle hours,

downtimes, and after work hours usage.

Benefits:• Know your spending on

fuel by having detailed analysis of fuel used, fuel filled and fuel removed!

• Know if DG is running on optimal load. Quickly identify under or over utilizations and hence get a better fuel economy for energy production.

• Reduce down time, by using GeoHEMS’s preventive maintenance program.

• Know generator overlapping hours in case mains power (grid power) is present and DG is still operating and save on unnecessarily wasted fuel.

1. The client’s in-house maintenance team could generate the monthly reports of the operational

hours and fuel filling per branch to verify the same against the branch audit.

2. The client observed that there was a disproportionate load distribution across the three phases.

Having a higher load on only one of the phases which are not advisable as it creates the risk of

wiring damage.

3. It is advisable to run diesel generator at least half capacity to get the best efficiency. With

GeoHEM’s energy health parameter on the dashboard, the client was able to identify that most of

the diesel generator sets were running at a low load and were not efficient. This information was

useful for the client to increase the load on the same diesel generator set without planning for

going for a newer diesel generator with a higher capacity.

4. Running low fuel leads to the airlock in fuel pipe which may halt the operation of the diesel genera-

tor. So low fuel alerts were useful for the maintenance team to take immediate action to rectify the

faults and avoid the stoppages of the diesel generator sets.

Business Impact:Post-installation, the client’s in-house maintenance team could remotely monitor the operations of the

diesel generator sets across all the branches.
