DataBox. Energy management and control

Information is power

How can I manage my installation’s consumption in a more efficient way?	How much energy am I consuming?
When am I consuming energy?	Where am I consuming energy?
How can I make savings?

The DataBox solution was designed to answer all of these questions. It is a tool at the disposal of all users, regardless of their level of knowledge, which will enable them to view, analyse and store their installation's energy data, with all of the data provided in a structured and accessible way.

DATABOX solution

What are the benefits?

Storage of the data will allow you to analyse them, assess progress in terms of objectives and detect anomalies or deviations

Compare installations Compare installations, areas and uses. Compare offers from marketers.  Detect and prevent Detect and identify unusual consumption. Identify billing errors. Detect potential savings (reactive and/or maximum demand penalty). Alarms and events. Report Report consumption. Compliance with the legislation on energy efficiency. Check the return on investments. Present information in a way that makes it easier to use. Rationalise consumption and processes Quantify the savings of kW·h in € . Simplify the electric energy management process and reduce the time taken to present reports.

Take control from anywhere

The Cloud Platform is the part of the Databox system that fully manages the necessary parameters for an optimum energy audit.

Electric energy management is not just data measurement.

Electric energy management works best when it is combined with data logging, display and operation from wherever you are, which means that you will always be in control.

Universal communication

We believe in open protocols. That is why DataBox can be connected to any MODBUS device, allowing it to remotely access the information of any device. You will find dozens of pre-configured devices, and if not, you can register a new device very easily, just by loading the device's memory map in an Excel file.

Applications

Databox solution is ideal for controlling different types of consumption that occur in the different branches of any business, for example, supermarkets, a hotel chain, in industries, etc. Its range of application is very wide and it is the ideal system for an exhaustive control of the energy measurements, for the optimum results that are presented in an energy audit.
