Canara Insight for Batteries
UNCOVER A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR ASSETS AND OPERATIONS TO
PREVENT FAILURES AND PROLONG ASSET LIFE
To manually monitor your UPS in a single site or
across multiple sites with thousands of batteries is
beyond human capacity. While monitoring UPS and
battery health is essential across today’s data centers
and commercial operations, the effort required to
ensure maximum reliability can be daunting and
expensive. Failure of a UPS system or even a single
battery can have disastrous and costly consequences.
We are here to help.

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS TO
ENSURE UPTIME AND EXTEND
ASSET LIFE
Accurate data from a comprehensive battery
monitoring system is extremely valuable. This
value is dramatically increased when qualified
individuals are continually watching, assessing
and interpreting the data. By combining state
of the art prognostics tools and software
systems, Canara enhances your operations by
highlighting the information you need to focus
on. We are able to analyze, track, and even
predict, what is going to happen and when.
Predict & Prevent vs. Risk & React
This requires diligence in gathering, trending,
and interpreting data into actionable tasks
which allows you to move to a predict & prevent
condition-based maintenance model.
By gathering core data in every facility, we
can help you improve energy and operational
efficiencies and ensure availability. While our
qualified team is watching and interpreting this
information, you can easily access and evaluate
the same trending data through the Canara
Insight Center.
CANARA INSIGHT FOR BATTERIES
Continuously Watching—So You Don’t Have To
BIRDS EYE VIEW Log in securely from any browser and access a map pinpointing
the location of each system. Different colors quickly reflect the
health status of the battery system. You can quickly zoom in on
locations and access details for systems out of tolerance.
CONTINUOUS MONITORING Retrieving the data from various power systems enables analysis
of trends in performance across the key components of your
power infrastructure. Based on installed on-site hardware, this
includes individual battery voltage, impedance, temperature and
AC ripple.
ACCESS ANYWHERE Search and view data remotely through any web browser, on any
device, from anywhere in the world.
ALARM DETAILS Get the most recent status on specific batteries that are
Trending, Critical, or Replaced, including temperature, ripple
alarms, discharges and float voltages, so you can identify any
trouble spots.
