Monitor diesel emergency power generators – ensure readiness for emergencies and detect defects early
Emergency power generators are rarely used, but they must start reliably in an emergency. Continuous IoT monitoring ensures they are ready to start and replaces rigid calendar-based maintenance with condition-based maintenance.
Ensure readiness for emergencies
Dead starter batteries, stale fuel, and low oil levels are detected—before an emergency occurs.
Condition-based maintenance instead of calendar intervals
Real operating data replaces rigid maintenance cycles—service calls are triggered as needed, not scheduled arbitrarily.
Retrofit instead of new installation
Digitize existing systems – without retrofitting, without interfering with the equipment, and without any operational downtime.
Plug-and-play upon delivery
Up and running in hours. No on-site IT infrastructure required—simply plug in and get started.
Challenge & Solution
The problem
Emergency power generators without monitoring—typical defects remain undetected and lead to failure when needed most.
Diesel emergency power generators are rarely operated, yet they must start immediately and reliably in an emergency. Without continuous monitoring, typical issues such as dead starter batteries, stale fuel, and low coolant or oil levels go undetected, jeopardizing supply security exactly when it is needed most.
Dead starter batteries and stale fuel go undetected- Low coolant or oil levels without alerts
- Generator failure during an actual power outage
The PSsystec solution
IoT remote monitoring for diesel emergency power generators—cellular-based, retrofittable for existing systems
The PSsystec IoT solution continuously records all relevant operating parameters of the emergency power generator and transmits them via cellular network—without the need for local IT infrastructure or interference with existing equipment.
Engine: Oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and speed are continuously recorded- Fuel: Level, consumption, and optional leakage monitoring
- Electrical: Generator voltage, current, frequency, and power, as well as running hours, starts/failed starts, and alarm status are reported
Benefits
Emergency power under control—from the starter battery to the availability of critical infrastructure
Detected early
Identify defects and critical conditions in time
Oil level, coolant temperature, fuel level, and battery status are monitored continuously—defects are detected before they compromise the ability to start.
Reliably ready to start
Ensuring reliability when it matters most
Starts and failed starts are recorded, and alarm states are reported immediately – ensuring your generator is demonstrably ready for action during a power outage, not just theoretically.
Targeted maintenance
Condition-based maintenance instead of calendar-based maintenance
Running hours, operating status, and consumption data replace rigid maintenance intervals – service calls are triggered when the condition requires it, not when the calendar dictates it.
Measurably reduced
Lowering emergency call-outs and unplanned downtime
Early detection of defects reduces unplanned emergency call-outs – resulting in less on-site work, lower operating costs, and greater planning reliability.
Permanently secured
Increasing the availability of critical infrastructure
Continuous monitoring ensures that emergency power generators at unmanned and distributed sites are ready for use at all times – reliable, verifiable, and documented.
