CONNECTING TO GRID...
High-frequency energy analytics and forecasting.
EU CBAM & DPP Compliant.
Factories in Gazipur often operate at <30% capacity due to chronic LNG shortages. The alternative—captive diesel generation—costs $0.32/kWh, nearly triple the grid rate of $0.12/kWh. Running a dyeing line on diesel destroys profitability within hours.
Additionally, unmonitored "phantom loads" (machines left idle, inefficient motors) contribute to a 12-15% energy overspend. Without granular data, factory owners cannot identify where the waste is occurring.

Through 15% energy reduction.
AUDIT READY
Immutable Parquet logs for EU.
Current Solutions Shortfall: Standard smart meters only provide aggregate data (total kWh). They cannot predict spikes or identify specific failing components via power signatures. They are "post-mortem" tools.
We use the PZEM-004T split-core sensor ($9) to monitor power quality at 1Hz. The data feeds into a TS2Vec model running on an ESP32 microcontroller.
Traditional forecasting (ARIMA) fails in factories because machine behavior changes as parts wear out ("Concept Drift"). We use TS2Vec with a Memory Gate (MOMEMTO) to stabilize learning. This acts as a long-term memory, ensuring the model doesn't over-generalize or "forget" the baseline behavior over weeks of operation.
Change Point Detection. We use Bayesian algorithms (Ruptures library) to identify structural shifts in consumption—distinguishing between a normal cycle change and a motor seizing up (anomaly).
Digital Product Passport (DPP): By 2026, every garment entering the EU must have a digital energy footprint. PowerGuard automatically generates cryptographically signed Parquet files per batch, creating a "Green Certificate" that satisfies CBAM audits.

Plastics & Polymer (Lalbagh): Injection molding machines have massive heating cycles. PowerGuard manages these peaks to keep total demand charges low.
Cold Storage: Monitoring compressor duty cycles to detect refrigerant leaks (which manifest as extended run-times) before temperature excursions occur.
