CARBON × KAIZEN · Carboka practice lab
Electricity is the digital footprint of equipment
Select a state to explore its power signature. Start with measurement and connect energy to the production context.
Production
What the curve suggests
Load varies with process cycles. Combine orders, cycle timing and good counts to understand energy per product.
What to check at the production site
Align product specifications, processing requirements and complete energy; plan improvement trials with suppliers.

TPM+E: treat changes as investigation clues. Check data, load and environment before human review.
Calculations and boundaries
This is an illustrative curve, not measured data or equipment specifications. Power (kW) accumulated over time gives energy (kWh). Product, good output and a complete measurement boundary are still needed to compare energy per unit. A curve alone cannot diagnose faults or prove carbon reductions.
Measure directly where possible. Use models for what cannot be measured directly, and retain assumptions and review records.
Based on whitepaper page 11, “Electricity is the digital footprint of equipment.” Interactive explanations extend the website teaching examples.
TPM+E: turn an energy signal into an investigation.
Adjust observations, a threshold and consecutive windows. Learn when to check data, compare conditions or request maintenance review.

01 Adjust the scenario
Whitepaper page 18 teaching indices: 100, 99, 101, 103, 107, 105, 110, 112. Reference = 100. Thresholds and consecutive windows are adjustable teaching rules, not equipment settings.
Inputs are calculated on this page only. They are not uploaded or saved automatically. Reloading restores the example.

Calculations and boundaries
Starting from the latest observation interval, count how many consecutive intervals have an index greater than or equal to 100 × (1 + threshold%). Request review only when the required count is reached. Resolve missing data, unconfirmed data quality or incomparable conditions first. This teaching example estimates neither remaining equipment life nor causes of failure.
03 Put it into practice
Check sensors, product, load, environment and post-maintenance settings before maintenance inspection. Record cause, action, restart conditions and follow-up. Energy reminders do not replace maintenance procedures or safety protection.
