Count Example: Calculate Per-Shift Energy Use

In this example, we want to know how much power our different shifts and crews are using.

Our power meters have a simple 'kWh' output that we can use.

Initial Layout

To begin with, we have one Pivot node named Pivot On, and one Total Output node named Total

The output node is fed from an ARDI Point (a point of data from the field), while the pivot is driven from a Time Difference node.

Step 1: Choose the Pivot

Our first step is to choose what we are going to pivot on.

In this case, we want the totals per shift or per crew. We can do this by pivoting on the name of the current Event.

Step 2: Change the Node Type

The default counter graph includes the Total node, which works if we already have some sort of count data.

In this case, we want to convert a rate to a total. So we want to replace the Total node with a Rate node.

Step 3: Choose the Data to Count

Next, we need to choose the data we want to totalise.

We can use the existing ARDI Point.

NOTE: The above example is actually calculating total meters travelled per day, but the logic is identical.

Analytic Complete

And you're done - by pressing Save and Visualise, you'll have a simple analytic showing the total amount of energy consumption for each shift and crew.
