IPD's Optimise exemplifies how technology can drive energy management excellence. The system offers total visibility into energy usage through one centralised application.   

Optimise can deliver detailed insights on consumption trends to meet sustainability objectives. It provides these insights through visual displays and customisable energy dashboards to help asset owners make decisions based on critical metrics.   

Benefits of Optimise  

• Improved Power Quality 
  Optimise can detect power quality issues, such as voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortions, or phase imbalances, which can damage equipment and reduce efficiency. Early detection of these problems through continuous monitoring enables timely intervention and preventive maintenance.  

• Better Asset Management 
  Optimise helps track the performance of key electrical assets such as transformers, generators, and HVAC systems. Continuous diagnostics and predictive analytics provide detailed insights into the condition of critical systems, helping avoid unnecessary maintenance and reducing downtime.  
  By analysing these performance trends over time, Optimise can predict future needs based on usage patterns, leading to more informed decision-making regarding upgrades or replacements. This leads to optimised operations, extended equipment lifespan, and better resource allocation. 

• Easy Access to Reports and Dashboards 
  With its advanced dashboard and reporting capabilities, Optimise provides the ability to thoroughly analyse key metrics to comprehensively understand your energy usage.  
  Asset owners can access these insights in different ways. First, Optimise comes with a flexible, web-based interface that reflects real-time data through any browser and device. The system can also send data through automated reports and emails, making it easier to access while on the go. Lastly, users will also have the option to set out of bounds alarms to manage key loads and therefore react quickly to excessive usage or prevent equipment damage. 
  With multiple ways to access the EMS data, Optimise equips building operators with the tools to swiftly track and respond to issues.  

• Easy Integration 
  Optimise is designed for seamless integration, making it a versatile solution that fits effortlessly into existing infrastructure. It is compatible with a range of energy meters and power distribution products, allowing businesses to leverage their current systems without requiring extensive upgrades. With Optimise, there is also no need for additional software and recurring subscription fees. 
  Whether through advanced or legacy equipment, Optimise ensures a smooth integration process, enhancing your ability to monitor energy usage across diverse building systems. 

• Save Energy Costs 
  Electricity is often one of the largest operational expenses for businesses, especially in energy-intensive sectors like manufacturing, data centres, and commercial buildings.  
  Monitoring energy usage through Optimise allows for better budgeting and cost control. 
  Moreover, the insights gained from energy monitoring can drive long-term operational improvements and inform capital investment decisions, ensuring that businesses remain competitive and resilient in the face of fluctuating energy prices and increasing environmental regulations. 
• Compliance with NCC Standards 
  Optimise fully complies with the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022, which requires collecting individual, time-stamped data for on-site renewable energy equipment, electric vehicle charging stations, and battery systems.  
  According to the NCC regulations, the recorded data must be consolidated and made accessible through a single user interface and other energy loads within the building. As mentioned previously, Optimise provides all relevant energy consumption data through one accessible interface. 
  As the NCC raises the bar for energy efficiency and sustainability, building and operation managers can be confident that Optimise will enable effective energy monitoring while meeting construction standards.  

Using an EMS can help organisations improve their energy efficiency using data-driven decisions. It can help identify inefficiencies, enabling cost reduction through smarter energy consumption. By leveraging an EMS, businesses can reduce wastage, identify power quality issues and be able to reach their sustainability goals.
