Accurate consumption logging helps with production analysis, energy monitoring, and identifying unusual variations.
What to log
Useful metrics include instantaneous flow, total consumption, pressure, and the status of major consumers.
Time interval
The logging frequency should be sufficient to show load variations without creating an excessive volume of data.
Hourly and daily totals
Creating hourly and daily totals helps in comparing shifts, days, and production periods.
Reliability check
Totals should be periodically compared with the actual meter reading to identify scaling errors or pulse loss.
