Main Characteristics:
The platform Energy & Efficiency, compared to other solutions with traditional
client-server architecture, differs by adopting a completely web-based
architecture.
The functionality of the system can therefore be used by any device that has a
Web browser and is connected to the platform Energy & Efficiency. This allows
for a seamless interaction between users, depending on authorization granted by
their password, as well as for the support of operations through mobile devices
such as Tablet.
In the case of multi-site companies, the software platform Energy & Efficiency
resides on the server of one of the companies so that they can manage the
various energy processes of all locations from one interface.
The platform Energy & Efficiency can be interfaced with the company's
Management System or any other systems already in place. This way data
exchange and their continued alignment is ensured. The platform also supports
and integrates with messaging systems, e-mail and sms.
Energy & Efficiency offers a wide range of communication drivers to interface
with meters and sensors so as to acquire directly and automatically measures
(fuel, power, energy drivers, temperature etc.).
Energy & Efficiency in CLOUD is the ability to use the system without installation
on a local host; everything resides in an external server that provides reliability,
intended to guarantee continuity of service, security, and a guarantee that your
data will not be violated / lost. This mode is an immediate advantage especially
for small and medium-sized businesses who can use Energy & Efficiency with
low economic investment and without having complex IT infrastructures.
