Small Factory Machine Tool Load Monitor
A basic, clamp-on current sensor that monitors the power load fluctuations of individual, non-networked machine tools in a small factory.
🎯The Problem
Small factories lack data on machine utilization, often running equipment inefficiently or delaying maintenance until catastrophic failure.
💡The Solution
A non-invasive sensor that measures the power draw and uses ML to infer the machine's state (idle, running, overloaded), generating a utilization report.
