In the meantime, if you have specific questions about these systems, we’d be happy to assist; feel free to reach out to us.
Operation and Maintenance
Uptime and compliance are common operation and maintenance (O&M) priorities that consume significant operational and human resources, leaving little to no time to actively focus on efficiency.
Our O&M expertise enables us to assist you with the operation, monitoring, management, and maintenance of a comprehensive range of systems, with a combined focus on uptime, compliance, and efficiency to drive down your TLCC.
24/7 Monitoring Operations Centre
We monitor your systems and facility 24/7/365 through a dedicated monitoring operations centre, providing rapid response to any alerts, alarms, or notifications that affect uptime, compliance, and efficiency.
Centralised Monitoring, Management, and Control Platform
Our centralised platform connects seamlessly with industry-standard communication protocols enabling integration with utility meters, energy assets, controllers, PLCs, and BMS systems linked to your Significant Energy Users.
We build energy and thermodynamic performance digital twins of your systems empowering to optimise for peak performance while maintaining process control, uptime, stability and compliance.
Tailored Performance Reporting
We report on your system performance through specialised dashboards that provide insights for your operational teams, middle management, and leadership:
- Energy consumption patterns and insights
- Plant stability and energy efficiency insights
- Operation and maintenance insights
Analytics That Drive Peak Performance
We control and manage your systems to drive peak performance through targeted analytics and employ proactive strategies to optimise energy consumption.
Energy Flow Optimisation
We balance, control and optimise your thermal and electrical energy supply and demand to ensure efficient, stable operations.
As leaders in smart energy asset management, we unlock TLCC savings and CO₂ avoidance by optimising your total energy flow.
All real-time supply and demand data is integrated into a centralised monitoring and control platform.
Built on Tridium Niagara technology, the platform allows both Energy Partners and your team to visualise, monitor, control (including load curtailment), and optimise your energy flow centrally. Real-time monitoring, alarms, and notifications detect issues or anomalies as they occur, allowing for rapid response and resolution.
We prioritise real-time data analytics and specialised reporting, to drive optimised energy flow delivering impactful insights and KPIs that focus on performance, process control (product quality and process effectiveness) and operational efficacy (O&M and behavioural).
Understanding and optimising your total energy flow starts with insightful and meaningful energy reporting.
