Robust Connectivity Hardware
Our advanced series of low-voltage electrical control panels are designed with modern energy solutions in mind, our panels integrate seamlessly into a wide range of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications, offering robust performance and versatile connectivity options.
- Multiple Connectivity Options. Communications protocol agnostic, and built with a wide variety of connectivity options including Ethernet, RS-485, USB and more.
- Wireless Communications. Wi-Fi or 4G capable, giving a variety of wireless options for simple, smooth deployments.
- Robust Enclosure. Indoor and outdoor deployments are possible with our standard enclosure, that offers protection to the local controller in volatile environments.
Unprecedented Optimisation
The ONE Local Controller is an onsite manager that integrates with local devices for maximum energy optimisation. It optimises the use of locally generated energy to reduce electricity costs, enabled by the Hark platform. It is a local communication gateway that connects with a site’s energy assets including PV inverters, batteries, meters and many more, allowing in-depth analysis for O&M and energy optimisation.
- Full EMS Capability. The ONE Local Controller powers software for creating and managing energy optimisation programs such as ‘Maximise Self Consumption’ and ‘Peak Shaving’.
- O&M Management. Understand operations deeply and analyse operational data to find patterns and drive decision making.
- Your Estate, Unified. Global enterprises can easily deploy local controllers to their worldwide sites and stream unified global data into a single platform.
