Monitor energy meters to feed The Smart Grid

The so-called "Smart Grid" makes it possible for companies to optimize energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint. But the Smart Grid needs to be fed with information. With Netbiter, it is possible to collect energy information from buildings, sites or even individual equipment.

What can you do online?

Track energy consumption

See exactly how much power that is being used for different applications, buildings or sites.

Perform energy audits

Get statistics and reports on historical consumption.

Detect energy thieves immediately

Get alarms whenever certain levels are reached.

Operate equipment remotely

Turn on or off equipment such as heating or ventilation, lighting etc.

Monitoring energy consumption in building

A typical example of a dashboard displaying energy consumption for a building. Apart from the energy consumption, we can also see the temperature and humidity levels for different parts of the building and the water consumption.

How it works

Connecting the equipment

A Netbiter communication gateway connects to energy meters or individual equipment such as HVAC systems, water pumps, lighting etc. The Netbiter connects to the equipment using a serial, Ethernet or I/O connection and sends information via the Internet or the cellular network (GSM/GPRS/3G) to the cloud-based Netbiter Argos data center.

The data is encrypted both to and from the Argos server.
