EMS EDGE NODE

EMS Edge Node

A typical facility operates dozens of machines, meters, inverters, EV chargers, and HVAC units. Each may come from a different manufacturer, use a different protocol, and report to a different cloud. The EMS Edge Node consolidates these assets into a single system: unified real-time visibility, local edge control with no cloud dependency, and a compliance-ready data layer for carbon reporting and demand response.

The Problem

Facility teams need a unified view of energy consumption by asset, time, and cause.

Most facilities operate equipment from multiple global vendors and a dozen smaller OEMs. Each system reports to a different cloud and requires a separate integration. The result is fragmented visibility into what consumes energy, when it happens, and why. Incoming data is often already minutes old, allowing energy waste to accumulate. Compliance exposure increases as well: CSRD and demand response obligations require auditable, asset-level data that most facilities do not have.

Fragmented assets

Dozens of manufacturers and protocols create fragmented operational visibility.

Cloud-dependent control

Round-trip latency to the cloud can make real-time energy decisions unreliable.

No sub-meter visibility

Monitoring often stops at the utility meter, with no view by line, zone, or asset.

Regulatory pressure

CSRD and demand response programmes require metered, auditable data.

Facility teams need a unified view of energy consumption by asset, time, and cause.
The Challenge

Where current approaches fall short

Fragmented Assets, No Single View

Equipment from multiple global vendors and a dozen smaller OEMs often leads to separate integration projects. Each system uses a different protocol, reports to a different cloud, and produces data that cannot be compared or acted on consistently.

Cloud-Dependent Control Adds Latency

When energy decisions depend on a round-trip to the cloud, latency becomes an operational risk. Demand response signals, load shedding, and flexible capacity management require on-site responsiveness that cloud-first architectures cannot guarantee.

Visibility Stops at the Utility Meter

Most energy monitoring stops at the building meter. Without sub-metering per production line, zone, or asset, teams cannot identify where energy is being wasted or provide the auditable data trail that CSRD and demand response programmes require.

Architecture

How the EMS Edge Node Works

The node is installed on-site, connects to your existing equipment over standard industrial protocols, and streams structured telemetry to your operations platform or ERP. It is operational in hours, not months, without replacing existing infrastructure or adding new cabling.

What's Included

What the EMS Edge Node Delivers

A hardened industrial edge device designed for production environments, not for office buildings or residential installations.

Unified Real-Time Energy Visibility

A single view across all assets and production zones, including machines, meters, inverters, EV chargers, and HVAC, regardless of manufacturer or protocol.

Local Edge Control

Control logic runs on-site. No dependency on cloud availability. Your facility stays responsive even when connectivity is degraded.

Protocol-Agnostic Connectivity

Connects to your existing equipment over Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, and OCPP 2.0.1, without replacing existing infrastructure or adding new cabling.

Sub-Metering Per Asset

Energy visibility per production line, zone, and asset, not just at the utility meter. Identify exactly where energy is consumed and act on it.

Structured Data Export

Clean, normalised telemetry exported directly to your ERP, MES, or energy management platform. One data format regardless of connected asset brand.

Compliance-Ready Data Layer

Metered, asset-level data with full audit trail for CSRD carbon reporting and demand response programme participation.

Applications

Use Cases & Industries

Decarbonisation Programmes

Companies committed to electrifying processes and reducing emissions need visibility into energy consumption before they can optimise it. The EMS Node provides that data foundation.

Energy-Intensive Manufacturers

Steel, plastics, rubber, and chemicals are industries where energy is 15 to 30% of operating cost. Sub-asset metering surfaces the 10% waste that high-level monitoring misses.

CSRD Compliance

The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires auditable, asset-level energy data. The EMS Node replaces estimates with metered readings from every machine and production zone.

Demand Response Programmes

Participate in grid flexibility markets with real-time load visibility and local control. Respond to demand response signals without relying on cloud round-trips.

EV Charging Fleet Operators

OCPP 2.0.1 smart charging control across mixed-brand charger fleets, integrated into your facility's overall energy picture.

Multi-Brand Asset Portfolios

A normalised API that abstracts manufacturer differences, with one control and data interface regardless of how many brands are installed across your sites.
