Manage the energy consumption of your wired devices with the IO Module
It is no secret that the ever-growing increase of global energy consumption is a major contributor to greenhouse gases and climate change. As populations grow so do our cities and towns through new office and residential buildings, which amount for most of the global energy consumption.
With the construction of new buildings, older ones that rely on wired technologies become less efficient, giving building managers limited control and little data to use when making decisions. However, thanks to the IoT’s ability to consistently track data, customers can keep an eye on the energy consumption of their devices at any time. By installing sensors and other devices in different places, building managers can reduce their energy consumption themselves rather than relying on central readings.
Bring your wired devices online
Typically, IoT-based tracking would only be compatible with wireless devices, resulting in wired devices being harder to track and regulate as they are not integrated into networks. This is now a problem of the past, as it is now possible to bring wired devices into wireless solutions by using the digital IO Module.
The module allows solution providers to bring wired devices online, allowing customers to track and regulate their energy consumption through applications such as the Squid Smart App. This means customers have the opportunity to remotely collect data while simultaneously having control of their devices.
Multiple ways of regulating energy consumption
The digital IO Module facilitates connection of digital input and output for a wide range of devices. For instance, the IO Module can connect a heat pump to the network and regulate the energy consumption of the pump, as well as making it consume energy in situations where other appliances do not require electricity.
Another way in which the IO Module benefits both businesses and environment is by reducing waste. This is because the module effectively upgrades any wired device without the need of replacing expensive PLCs or controllers.
More data means more informed decisions
By using the IO module, your solution becomes more efficient and able to cover more ground. Having more devices online means that you and your customers can access more useful information, increasing the quality of data analysis. This also applies for automatized solutions, as the gateway and the devices have access to more information and thus are better equipped to address any problems they encounter.
With better information and data analysis, solution providers and their customers are able to make smarter and more informed decisions. These decisions can range from making smarter energy consumption choices in existing buildings, selecting more efficient equipment, to even using pre-collected data to design more efficient buildings for the future. In turn, this contributes towards the much-needed reduction in the consumption of energy while also benefitting your business.
With the IO Module you will be able to reduce energy consumption, as well as have a positive impact towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
