Switch Automation provides energy management software to help reduce costs and improve sustainability. Their previous solution required extensive time and resources. They partnered with FreezePro Software to develop a new cloud-based platform using Microsoft Azure. This allows users to remotely access and automate data collection from sensors to generate automated reports and analyze buildings from any location. The new system provides real-time reporting and analysis across platforms while minimizing human resource needs. Switch Automation saw successful results including improved property ROI analysis and automated, cross-platform energy management.

Business Challenge
The previous solution required a substantial amount of time and
project management personnel for the initial integration. It heavily
depended on hardware and did not support multiple users with
different levels of access.
• The need to upgrade the energy monitoring and management
platform offered to the clients.
• The need for one platform, so the customer can compare buildings
with one another at one place, and determine the budget allocation
to ensure those buildings are running efficiently.

First, the team worked with the back-end logic and front-
end display, such as UI designs for different apartments,
houses and building plans.
Solution
Later, the project shifted to WEB technologies as a core, due
to a number of advantages presented by the web platform.
The final product was a cross-platform solution combining web,
tablets, phones, and inbuilt sensor devices in apartments or houses -
all using the latest Microsoft Azure cloud development technology.

The new system was developed
with full automation. So users can
have any type of energy savings
plans. Also everything is accessed
remotely and hosted in cloud, so
one can check and update
environment remotely.
