With the new version of the Powermanager energy monitoring software, energy data can now be transferred directly to open, cloud-based IoT operating systems such as MindSphere. The software is part of Siemens' Sentron portfolio for energy management in industrial plants and buildings and helps companies to increase their energy efficiency and availability. It displays status information and electrical parameters for entire plants and systems as well as individual devices in a clear dashboard and analyzes the energy flows. This allows optimization measures for energy efficiency and availability to be derived and faults in the systems to be localized quickly. By integrating the data into cloud systems, it is possible to store, process and evaluate large volumes of data across multiple locations.
