EPISENSOR
VALUE PROPOSITION
EpiSensor is a leading provider of wireless energy monitoring systems that
uniquely combine reliability, ruggedness and interoperability to
systematically improve energy performance, lower energy costs and
reduce environmental impact.
PRODUCTS:
The EpiSensor wireless energy monitoring system simplifies energy
management monitoring and providing instant access to data for immediate
improvements to energy performance. The EpiSensor system uses
advanced wireless self-healing mesh networking technology to collect data
from wireless nodes. Multiple sensors placed throughout the facilities
collect the data and uniquely log the time-stamped data locally at the
sensor.
EpiSensor sensors feature logging and time-stamped data locally at the
sensor to serve as a redundant back up in case of any network
communication issuesa distinct feature provided by the EpiSensor
system. The new sensors, which monitor electricity, water, gas, heat,
temperature and humidity, and fuel levels, also support remote software
upgrades, which are handled easily through the gateways network
management tool.
EpiSensor gateways collect and log the data for access through a built-in
web server, and can deliver the sensor data to virtually any enterprise-level
software system for archiving and analysis. This high quality energy
usage data is merged with other business metrics to create Energy
Performance Indicators (EPI) to significantly reduce energy usage within an
organization.
The system is built on open industry standards, and the sensor networks
use ZigBee wireless technology (IEEE 802.15.4) which operates in the
ISM band. The smart gateway connects to the internet via Ethernet, Wi-Fi
and GSM/GPRS using standard communications protocols.
Our strategy for export sales in the UK & continental Europe is to supply
hardware into systems integrators thus leveraging their local presence and

WATTICS
VALUE PROPOSITION
Wattics developed, patented and commercializes a revolutionary noninvasive software solution to manage electricity gas and water in industrial
and commercial settings, which allows tracking each machines
consumption and identify saving opportunities with one meter clipped at the
mains.
Wattics provides unique insights for maintenance managers and financial
controllers to control their companys equipment cost and provide tangible
savings. The solution is versatile to monitor small to very large industrial
setting.
For example in Smurfit Kappa, Wattics monitors tracks consumption of
inner sections of a paper manufacturing process. A Wattics smart alarm
located onsite is used to promptly alert operator in case of an energysaving opportunity. The solution has reduced by 50% the consumption
during machine setup phase.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Energy Management Software
The energy market is currently providing a great growth opportunity. It is
expected that within the next 2 to 3 years, companies with an excess of
5k monthly energy bill will be equipped with energy management solution.
Maintenance manager and financial controllers are actively seeking energy
management solutions that identify saving opportunities and provide fast
return on investment.
Breaking up the consumption to each appliance/machine is known to be
effective in identifying saving opportunities. The problem is that current
market solution requires installing a large amount of metering hardware to
monitor down to machine/appliance level. Only 5-10% of corporate clients
are currently prepared to invest 50-100k to retrofit the site with meters.
Software is cheaper than hardware: by using intelligent software
technologies, Wattics reduces the hardware capex needed to monitor
appliances to a fraction of current market solutions.
