BananaPin EMS

Know where your energy goes — by line, by department, by hour.

BananaPin EMS turns electrical meter data into continuously accessible operational information — real-time load, historical consumption, demand and power-factor analysis, cost allocation and alerts, organized by the meter hierarchy that matches how your facility is actually built, not by meter serial number.

  • Multi-point sub-metering
  • Baseload & peak-demand analysis
  • Cost allocation by department
  • Modbus RTU energy meters
  • Site & department comparisons
SEC. 01 — HOW IT WORKS
01

Map the meters

Wire in existing or new Modbus energy meters and place each one in your facility's real hierarchy — Main, Production, Utilities, Building.

02

Watch consumption

Live load, historical trends, and cost allocation per meter, department, or site — comparable across today vs. yesterday, site vs. site, shift vs. shift.

03

Find the savings

Baseload and peak-demand views show what's worth investigating; alerts catch abnormal consumption the moment it starts.

SEC. 02 — FEATURES

Features

Real-time load

Total demand and per-department breakdown, updated live — not a monthly utility bill after the fact.

Meter hierarchy

Meters organized as Main → Production / Utilities / Building, matching how the facility is actually built.

Baseload & peak demand

See what's still drawing power after production stops, and which loads contribute to a demand peak.

Threshold alerts

High demand, abnormal voltage, low power factor, or a meter going offline — routed before it becomes a bill.

SEC. 04 — DETAILED OVERVIEW

Detailed overview

The short version is above. Open a section below for the full picture.

The problem with an electricity bill+

A monthly bill can tell a business it consumed a total number of kWh. It can't say which line consumed the most, when peak demand happened, how much energy was drawn after production stopped, or whether an efficiency project actually worked.

EMS provides the instrumentation and software required to answer those questions below the utility-bill level.

Meters organized in business terms+

EMS becomes more useful when meters represent the customer's real organization rather than a flat list of serial numbers: - Main Incoming - Production — Line A, Line B, Line C - Utilities — Compressor, Chiller, Pumps - Building — HVAC, Lighting, Administration

Managers can then understand energy in business terms, not meter IDs.

Visibility first, savings second+

EMS does not promise a fixed percentage of savings. It creates the visibility required to identify and validate energy-saving opportunities — unnecessary baseload, poor operating schedules, peak demand, low power factor, or equipment left running.

SEC. 05 — ROADMAP

What's coming next

Everything above ships today. This is what we're building next — not yet available.

Planned

Tariff-aware cost calculation

Full billing-tariff modeling — demand charges, time-of-day rates, penalties — beyond simple estimated cost.

Planned

Automatic anomaly detection

Flag unusual consumption changes without a manually configured threshold.

Planned

Production-data integration

Correlate energy intensity against production output, not just time.
