- KPI Dashboard Beta is Live!: Designed to provide instant insights into your most important metrics, this customizable view will make it easier to monitor and understand your data—all in one place.
At launch, the KPI dashboard will include insights on electricity and gas consumption, as well as standby electricity usage. This is just the beginning—over time, we will expand the dashboard to cover a broader range of metrics and features, based on your feedback and needs.
- User Management: See who has access to your Sensorfact workspace and collaborate more effectively by inviting team members to join. Go to the User Management page in the Settings to invite your team members.
- Live Power mode: You can now monitor power data in real-time using the ‘Live’ toggle! Previously, the most recent power data was loaded only once when you opened the Power tab. With the Live mode, the Power graph keeps on updating every minute automatically; perfect for instantly tracking the impact of machine changes or displaying live power usage on a central screen.
- OEE Micro-stops: We’ve added a new feature to the OEE dashboard: Micro-stops. Micro-stops give you more insight into short interruptions in production, without overloading your team with unnecessary manual input. These short stops are automatically classified as micro-stops, so you only need to explain longer interruptions.
Each production interruption can be one of three categories:
- Too short to be counted as a stop
- Long enough to be a micro-stop (auto-classified), or
- Long enough to be a regular stop, which can be explained in the way you’re used to
You can configure the thresholds for each category yourself by going to: Settings → OEE settings → Configuration, giving you full control over how stops are tracked and analyzed.
- Compressed Air customers can now monitor their Load Profile! You can now view their Compressor Load (%) in the Efficiency tab. Monitoring Full Load Power is key to maximizing compressor performance and improving energy efficiency.
If one or more compressors frequently operate above 100% of their full load power, it may indicate:
- A potential mechanical or operational issue
- That the compressor is undersized for the current air demand
By regularly tracking Compressor Load (%), you can:
- Detect inefficiencies. For non-VSD compressors, operating near full load power is ideal.
- Prevent overloading and system stress
- Make informed decisions about capacity planning and maintenance
This leads to lower operating costs, longer equipment life, and a more energy-efficient system overall.
How to Enable This Feature?
- Navigate to Settings → Compressed Air Settings
- Link your compressors
- Enter the Full Load Power (kW) for each unit
- A built-in calculation tool is available to determine Full Load Power (kW)
- Once configured, Compressor Load (%) will be visible in the Efficiency tab
