Maintenance & OperationsPurpose
1. Automate utility usage data collection (electricity, water, gas) across all units for regular monitoring and anomaly detection.
2. Alert stakeholders instantly to unusual consumption patterns or equipment faults for rapid interventions.
3. Generate and distribute detailed periodic reports to management and maintenance teams with actionable analytics.
4. Integrate across metering hardware, data storage, and communication channels ensuring comprehensive, accurate reporting.
Trigger Conditions
1. Scheduled basis: At predetermined intervals (daily/weekly/monthly).
2. Real-time anomaly: Whenever usage exceeds thresholds or sudden spikes/drop-offs are recorded.
3. Manual request: On-demand reporting initiated by an authorized user.
