Bosch Phantom Distributors In India
What does a BOSCH – PHANTOM do?
Bosch presents a new energy analysis tool called the “Phantom”. It is a small device not much larger than a Raspberry Pi, but it packs an oversized toolkit that Bosch believes can help owners identify opportunities to save money on their electric bills.
The Bosch Phantom adds insights that typically only come from much more complex PLC-backed controls equipment and does so without all the fuss. Instead of high capital costs, complex programming, and masses of wiring, the Phantom brings a robust set of intelligent monitoring solutions packed into a single, easy-to-install bolt-on device. That’s an impressive value proposition for homeowners, businesses owners, manufacturing plants, and commercial operations alike.
BOSCH Phantom- An Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) device for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring and Energy Management Solution.
Energy cost is a major overhead for manufacturing units. There is a lot of wastage due to idle machinery that’s powered on, or faulty machines consuming energy in an erratic manner. Studies show that SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) contribute more than 40 – 45% of manufacturing output in most countries. Keeping these two facts in mind, Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Private Limited created a solution aimed specifically at SMEs called Phantom.
Phantom, with its unique algorithm, will help multiple industries with AI-powered actionable insights to jumpstart their digital transformation journey. Phantom helps a manufacturing plant to report on their load's usage. Bosch believes that the artificial intelligence built by Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Pvt. Ltd that underpins the solution has the potential to deliver meaningful, valuable insights across almost every sector of business.
Value Proposition for Homes
The real magic of the Phantom is its ability to look at the energy being used by a home. Phantom’s algorithm analyzes the energy consumption over time and creates a profile. It is then able to parse out specific power signatures, resulting in what is the equivalent of an x-ray of the home electricity consumption. The technology was developed with residential and small businesses in mind, but the potential to scale it up is perhaps even more exciting.
How does one attach a Phantom box to machines and devices?
Phantom is a solution in a box and a cloud platform. The box is connected to a machine by clamping two wires to the cables supplying power to the machines. It sits quietly next to the device and monitors its performance and energy consumption patterns, non-invasively.
Phantom is a non-intrusive solution, which means you don’t have to open a machine, cut wires and attach something to every component in the machine. The Phantom box is at the source side of the electrical signals, and it intelligently figures out what is happening in the machine. It samples the electrical signature thousands of times a second. That’s the heartbeat of the machine. There are algorithms in the box that can draw correlations between the electrical signature and the various operating parameters of the machine. A lot can be inferred from the data that is generated via the cloud. Phantom connects wirelessly to the cloud. The user can then view this data via dashboards. Since it has AI algorithms in the box, it is capable of doing processing and, is, therefore, an intelligent edge device.
