Carbon & Energy Dashboard

The problem

Sustainability reports are compiled once a year from invoices, so management cannot see progress toward carbon targets or which site is driving emissions.

Solution overview

MILESGO gateways collect data from electricity meters, gas meters, water meters, BTU / heat meters over Modbus TCP / M-Bus / BACnet/IP / MQTT, and deliver it to a cloud platform (MQTT), large-screen dashboards (HDMI), the energy management system, third-party platforms (HTTP API) as MQTT / OPC UA. Field equipment keeps its own protocol and control logic; integration is done by configuration and point mapping, not custom code.

Typical scope

electricity meters
gas meters
water meters
BTU / heat meters

Protocol path

Modbus TCP / M-Bus / BACnet/IP / MQTT → MQTT / OPC UA

Implementation checklist for the project manager

Agree emission factors and reporting boundaries with the sustainability team; the platform applies the factors you provide.
Fix a site / asset naming convention before the first site so data from all sites can be compared.
Record CT ratios, meter IDs and multipliers in the point table; wrong multipliers are the usual cause of billing errors.
Agree KPI definitions (for example OEE components or kWh per unit) with operations before building dashboards.
Roll out in phases: pilot one site or area, confirm data quality, then replicate.
List dashboard users and roles, and configure user permissions accordingly.

Project deliverables

Signed point table and protocol mapping
Gateway configuration files and backups
IP address plan and network drawing
FAT and SAT test records
As-built documentation and operator training

System architecture

Field layer: electricity meters, gas meters, water meters, BTU / heat meters, connected over Modbus TCP / M-Bus / BACnet/IP / MQTT. Edge and integration layer: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers, mounted on DIN rail in existing panels, polling each device, time-stamping values and buffering them locally. Upper layer: a cloud platform (MQTT), large-screen dashboards (HDMI), the energy management system, third-party platforms (HTTP API), which receives the data as MQTT / OPC UA. Remote access for maintenance runs over VPN rather than open internet ports.

Delivery steps

1
Site survey and point list
Inventory devices, protocols, register maps, panel space, power and network paths.
2
Design and point table sign-off
Map every point to the target protocol and system; agree it with the client and the upper-system contractor.
3
Configuration and FAT
Build the gateway configuration off site, simulate it and test against the signed point table.
4
Installation and wiring
Mount gateways on DIN rail, wire RS-485 / I/O / Ethernet, apply the IP plan.
5
SAT and alarm tests
Verify values against local readings, test every alarm and command end to end.
6
Handover and support
Hand over configuration backups, point table and as-built documents; train operators.

Customer value

Consumption visible by area, system and time period
Timestamped records for compliance and reporting
Data ready for cloud platforms and analytics
Configuration templates reused across sites
