Data Without Meaning Is Just Noise
IoT sensors generate enormous amounts of raw data – temperatures, pressures, flow rates, power consumption. Without context and calculation, this data is difficult to act on. KPIs – Key Performance Indicators – transform raw values into metrics that directly reflect operational performance and business outcomes.
Common IoT KPIs in Sensor-Online
- OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) – availability × performance × quality for production equipment
- Energy intensity – kWh per produced unit or per m² of floor area
- COP (Coefficient of Performance) – heat pump efficiency from flow, return and power measurements
- Pump efficiency – flow vs power to detect wear and cavitation early
- Brine cost per hour – energy consumption × Nordpool spot price in real time
How Sensor-Online Calculates KPIs
Sensor-Online’s built-in ScriptEngine runs JavaScript logic every time a new sensor value arrives. Scripts access current and historical values from any sensor in the account and output the result as a new data channel – available on dashboards and via API exactly like a physical sensor.
