Authorised Partner
tor.ai™
Industrial IoT & Utility Monitoring
Shield application platform
pqExcel is an Authorised Partner for tor.ai — delivering cloud-based utility monitoring solutions for industrial and commercial facilities. tor.ai's IoT gateways and Shield application platform enable rapid, low-infrastructure deployment of multi-utility monitoring — covering electricity, water, diesel, and compressed air from a single dashboard.
pqExcel manages the complete implementation — site survey, device selection, installation, commissioning, and handover. The standardised Shield application platform means faster deployment and consistent user experience across all projects.
Authorised Partner for tor.ai IoT gateways, Shield application, and Titan MFM — covering the full utility monitoring portfolio
pqExcel conducts detailed site surveys — identifying metering points, connectivity requirements, and utility monitoring scope before deployment
End-to-end installation and commissioning of IoT gateways, meters, and sensors — with Shield application configuration and dashboard setup
GSM-based IoT gateways significantly reduce installation time — no dedicated network infrastructure required, making deployment faster and more cost-effective
tor.ai's Shield platform provides a single, unified dashboard for monitoring all utility consumption across your facility — electricity, water, diesel, compressed air, and more.
Real-time and historical monitoring of electrical consumption — feeders, equipment, and sub-meters across the facility with energy breakdown and demand analysis.
Flow and consumption monitoring for process water, cooling water, and domestic water — identifying leakages, wastage, and abnormal consumption patterns.
Fuel consumption monitoring for DG sets and other fuel-based equipment — tracking consumption against generation and identifying inefficiencies or losses.
Compressed air consumption monitoring — identifying leakages, measuring specific energy consumption, and optimising compressor operation across facilities.
Shield is tor.ai's cloud-based utility monitoring and management application — providing real-time visibility, historical analytics, and alerts across all utilities monitored by tor.ai IoT gateways and meters.
The Shield application is largely standardised — ensuring consistent functionality, a familiar user interface, and faster deployment across all projects. pqExcel configures Shield for your facility's specific metering hierarchy, utility types, and reporting requirements during commissioning.
Cloud-based utility monitoring and management platform
Shield is a standardised application platform — consistent user experience across all deployments, with site-specific configuration for metering hierarchy and utility types performed during commissioning.
tor.ai's hardware range covers IoT gateways for data acquisition and communication, and the Titan MFM for advanced electrical parameter monitoring — all integrating with the Shield platform.
IoT Gateway
📶 GSM/4G cellular — no dedicated network infrastructure required
Compact IoT edge gateway with 4G cellular connectivity — connecting to existing meters and sensors over RS485/Modbus and transmitting data securely to the Shield cloud platform. IP65-rated for industrial environments.
IoT Gateway
🌐 Multi-protocol — 4G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, RS485, BLE
Advanced edge gateway with multi-protocol connectivity — supporting 4G cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, RS485, and BLE for comprehensive facility monitoring. Suitable for applications requiring richer connectivity and broader sensor integration.
Multifunction Meter
⚡ 68 electrical parameters — Wi-Fi, BLE, RS485 built-in
Compact multifunction meter with built-in connectivity — monitoring 68 electrical parameters including power quality and harmonics. Integrates directly with the Shield platform and supports standalone EMS deployments with native Wi-Fi and BLE communication.
pqExcel manages the complete tor.ai deployment — from site survey through installation, commissioning, and Shield application setup. The standardised platform means faster implementation and consistent outcomes across all projects.
GSM-based gateways eliminate the need for dedicated network infrastructure — significantly reducing installation time and complexity, particularly in facilities where cabling is difficult or costly.
Identification of metering points, utility types, connectivity options, and gateway placement — forming the basis for the deployment plan
Selection of the right gateway (Pluto or Jupiter), meters, and sensors — configured for your specific utility monitoring requirements
Physical installation of IoT gateways, Titan MFMs, and associated sensors — with safety as a priority at every stage of site work
Device commissioning, Shield application configuration, metering hierarchy setup, dashboard configuration, and handover to site team
