Workflow Trigger

Daily energy consumption data is collected from all laundromat equipment at midnight

Visual Flow

Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Collect energy consumption data

    Automated system pulls daily energy usage metrics from all washers, dryers, and facility systems across all locations. Data includes peak usage times, machine-specific consumption, and total facility energy draw.

  2. 2
    Action

    Analyze consumption patterns

    System processes energy data to identify usage spikes, inefficient machines, and peak demand periods. Compares current consumption against historical baselines and industry benchmarks.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Evaluate optimization opportunities

    Algorithm determines if energy consumption exceeds thresholds or if specific optimization strategies should be triggered. Routes workflow based on severity of inefficiencies detected.

  4. 4
    Action

    Implement load balancing adjustments

    System automatically adjusts machine scheduling and cycle timing to distribute energy load more evenly throughout the day. Delays non-critical operations to off-peak hours when possible.

  5. 5
    Action

    Generate maintenance alerts

    Creates work orders for equipment showing abnormal energy consumption patterns that may indicate mechanical issues. Schedules preventive maintenance for energy-inefficient machines.
