iEnergy: when energy data become manageable

In industrial and service buildings, energy management is often fragmented: monitoring systems that do not talk to each other, devices that are not interoperable, data that are collected but cannot be used to make decisions.

The result is energy consumed without any real way of understanding where, how and why. iEnergy is the research and development project with which Interlogica tackles this problem: the goal is to build an integrated energy system, able to collect data in real time through IoT devices, analyse them on a centralised cloud platform and provide concrete tools for monitoring, diagnostics and decision support.

The project includes the design and prototyping of software models able to interface with heterogeneous hardware and software components, the development of the analysis and monitoring platform, and validation in the field, in real operating environments. The system is designed to integrate with renewable sources, storage systems and smart grids.

The work is carried out together with technology partners and end users, because a system that is not adopted by the people who have to use it produces no real value.

iEnergy is not a finished product: it is a research process with a precise direction: making energy measurable, understandable and manageable by those responsible for managing it.
