Energy management solution aims to cut utility cost

Opto 22 and eSight Energy Group Ltd have collaborated to come up with an integrated energy management solution that combines the OptoEMU Sensor and eSight's web-based energy management and analysis software.

The energy management software communicates with and presents energy data gathered by the OptoEMU Sensor. The eSight is a web-based analysis suite that interfaces with the OptoEMU Sensor and allows commercial and industrial customers to connect to metering devices, electrical panels, machines and equipment. It presents energy consumption data for viewing and analysis from any PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone over the Internet.

The solution enables facility managers, building owners, energy managers and others to monitor, gather and visualize their energy consumption in order to understand usage, pinpoint problems, reduce utility bills and minimize energy-related costs, the companies said.

"We are excited to announce our partnership with Opto 22. The collaboration lets current and future Opto 22 customers easily integrate their OptoEMU Sensors with eSight's advanced analytic capabilities that will provide maximum visibility into energy usage," stated Janie Jefferies-Freer, president of eSight Energy.

"By combining our expertise and enabling our technology to work with that of several different energy management software providers, including eSight Energy, we're able to give engineering and automation teams multiple ways to gain the visibility and data they need to establish new energy usage policies and practices that significantly cut their utility bills," noted Opto 22 CEO, Mark Engman.
