See how Schulman Engineering addressed their energy usage, analyzed costs, and established preventive maintenance with the groov RIO energy monitoring unit.

Are you working on machine health initiatives and predictive maintenance? Do you want to track (and reduce) operating costs? Energy management can be the key to achieving these goals. 

Schulman Engineering, an industrial automation and system integration company located in Southern California, recently shared a client success story using Opto 22's groov RIO EMU (GRV-R7-I1VAPM-3).

Is it possible to find a secure solution that translates energy data into usable information for cost management, process improvement, and equipment reliability?

Read Schulman Engineering's case study to see how they took on these challenges:

  • Accessing real-time and historical data to identify problems
  • Separating energy costs at the machine level
  • Identifying energy trends for possible equipment failures
