Generator monitoring

💡 Solution Description

The Generator Monitoring template is your accelerator for distributed power-asset management. Whether you run backup generators across a chain of retail stores, keep a telecom site online, or supply prime power to a remote facility, this template gives you the dashboard, consumption math, and alarm logic needed to keep every generator fueled, producing, and online — and to roll those numbers up to the site that owns them.

✨ Highlights

Stop driving site-to-site to dip fuel tanks and read run-hour meters. The Generator Monitoring template turns every generator into a live digital asset in minutes. The solution deploys a complete monitoring system that visualizes fuel level, energy production, consumption rate, and active alarms on a single dashboard — and aggregates daily production from every generator up to its parent site. ⚡📊

📦 What’s inside the box?

We have auto-generated a complete power-monitoring ecosystem for you:

• 🗺️ Site Command Center: A main dashboard with an interactive map of your sites (Assets), each color-coded by the aggregated health of the generators it owns. Drill from a site into its generator list, charts, and alarms.
• ⚡ Generator Drill-Down: Per-generator pages showing live energy production, fuel level, consumption / fuel rate, and an alarm history — so you know not just that a generator is running, but how hard and for how much longer.
• 📈 Production Roll-Up: Built-in calculated fields derive production increments and fuel consumption rate from raw telemetry, aggregate daily production per generator, and roll it up across all generators into a single daily site production figure on the parent asset — no rule chains required.
• 🧠 Dynamic Thresholds via Attributes: Each generator carries its own lowFuelThreshold and inactivityThreshold attributes — change limits per generator without touching device-profile logic.
• 🔧 Maintenance-Aware Alarms: Flip the maintenance attribute on a generator and its alarms are automatically suppressed, so planned servicing doesn’t flood your team with false alerts.
• 🚨 Pre-wired Alarms: Out-of-the-box rules for Low Fuel and Generator Offline, with alarm propagation up to the parent site asset.
• 🎬 Realistic Demo Data: A built-in emulator generates days of telemetry — fuel slowly drains and jumps on refuel, energy production follows a day/night load curve — so the dashboard, charts, and alarms are populated from the first second.

🌟 Why use this template?

• ⚡ Zero-Math Configuration: Forget writing aggregation scripts from scratch. Consumption rate, production increments, and daily site totals are computed for you by ready-made calculated fields.
• 🏢 Site-Centric View: Generators rarely live alone — they back a store, a tower, or a plant. This template models that hierarchy natively: alarms and production roll up to the Asset so you triage by site, not by serial number.
• 🛡️ Operational Continuity: Catch a draining tank before it runs dry and spot a generator that has gone silent within minutes — so you dispatch fuel or a technician before the lights go out.

✨ Key Features

• Real-Time Visuals: Fuel level as an intuitive gauge, energy production and consumption as historical charts, and daily/total production cards 📊.
• One Unified Dashboard: A single dashboard takes you from a fleet map of all sites, to a per-site overview (generator count, critical alarms, energy today, daily production), down to per-generator details, charts, and alarms — no context switching.
• Consistent Color Language: The same healthy / alarm color rule applies to sites on the map and to generators in their lists — one glance, full understanding.
• Asset Roll-Up: Alarms raised on a generator automatically propagate to the parent Asset, so the map reflects the worst-case status of every generator on site.

🌍 Real-World Applications

This template serves as a robust foundation for distributed power scenarios:

• 🏪 Multi-Site Backup Power: Monitor standby generators across retail chains, bank branches, or clinics, and aggregate production and fuel status per location.

• 📡 Telecom & Critical Infrastructure: Keep remote cell towers and edge sites online by tracking fuel runtime and catching offline generators before service is interrupted.

• 🏭 Prime & Off-Grid Power: Supervise generators that supply continuous power to remote facilities, mines, or construction sites, with daily production roll-ups for reporting and billing.
