Creating and Configuring Tracking Reports

What are tracking reports

Tracking Reports are automated, configurable data summaries sent directly to your inbox. They pull data from your Electricity, Gas, Compressed Air, Water, and OEE sensors to show exactly how your facility is performing over a weekly or monthly period.

Why use tracking reports

Most insights that are available in the Sensorfact platform are also available in the reports. Reports can be used for many different purposes, for example:

Track savings: Monitor the progress of energy-saving measures
Boost awareness: Share performance data with personnel to improve shift efficiency
Stop energy waste: Identify machines running in standby or outside production hours
Simplify reporting: Generate ready-to-use tables and charts for internal and external audience

How tracking report work

You select the Analysis Modules and Units relevant to your modules. Once saved, the system automatically generates and emails the report to your team at the end of every scheduled period.

Time Aggregation

The platform groups measurement data into snapshots based on your report frequency:

Monthly Reports: Data aggregated by week and month.
Weekly Reports: Data aggregated by day and week.

Visualization & Units

Depending on your module and asset count, you can view data as Bar Charts, Tables, or Tables with Examples. Each analysis module offers specific unit options that are relevant to the type of analysis being performed. When configuring your report, you'll be able to select from the applicable units for your chosen module.

Available Analysis Modules

Electricity
Module	Description and unit options
Energy consumption	Visualizes electricity consumption in power, energy, cost, carbon emissions or time. Units: kW, kWh, costs, time, CO₂e
Energy consumption per shift	Visualizes electricity consumption broken down by shift. Shifts are set up by your consultant during the energy scan. Units: kW, kWh, costs, time, CO₂e, % of consumption
Energy consumption outside operating hours	Visualizes electricity consumption outside of the operating hours. This is based on the production schedules as configured in the Production Schedules. Units: kW, kWh, cost, time, CO₂e, % of consumption
Standby energy consumption	Visualizes standby electricity consumption in power, energy, cost, carbon emissions or time. Our algorithms automatically detect when a machine is in standby mode. Units: kW, kWh, costs, time, CO₂e, % of consumption
Protocol deviation	Visualizes electricity consumption when protocols are violated. The protocols are set up by your consultant during the energy scan. Units: kW, kWh, costs, time, CO₂e, % of consumption
Peak power	Visualizes the highest power peak in a certain time period. Units: kW
Electricity consumption per production hour	Tracks machine energy efficiency by calculating the average energy consumption per production hour. It sums the total energy consumed, including standby energy, over a specified period and divides it by the total hours spent in production mode. Units: kWh by production hour, costs by production hour, CO₂e by production hour
Electricity consumption per status	Visualizes electricity consumption when machines are On, specifically in Production or Standby mode. Units: kW, kWh, cost, CO₂e

Natural gas
Module	Description and unit options
Energy consumption	Visualizes gas consumption in power, energy, cost, carbon emissions or time Units: kWh, cost, m³, CO₂e
Energy consumption per shift	Visualizes gas consumption broken down by shift. Shifts are set up by your consultant during the energy scan. Units: kWh, cost, m³, CO₂e, % of consumption
Energy consumption outside operating hours	Visualizes gas consumption outside of the operating hours. This is based on the production schedules as configured in the Production Schedules. Units: kWh, cost, m³, CO₂e, % of consumption

Compressed Air
Module	Description and unit options
Compressed Air Usage	Visualizes air consumption in air volume Units: m³
Outside operating hours	Visualizes air consumption outside of the operating hours. There are based on the production schedules as configured in the Settings Units: m³
Energy efficiency compressor(s)	Visualizes the energy needed to produce 1 m³ or air Units: kWh/m³, costs/m³, CO₂e/m³

Water
Module	Description and unit options
Water consumption	Visualizes water consumption in water volume, cost or time Units: m³, costs

OEE
Module	Description and unit options
Production volume	Visualizes production output in total, accepted or rejected production volume. Unit: Total units, rejected units, accepted units
OEE metrics	Visualizes OEE scores, the scores are also separated out to availability, performance and quality. Units: OEE metrics
