February 2020

We’ve prepared a fantastic release this month which includes our brand new Energy module and great technological advances in our authentication systems. Let’s dive deeper!

Energy

Today we’re announcing the initial release of our brand new Energy module in the Hark Platform which aims to provide real-time insight and analysis in to your energy consumption across all of your assets.

The Energy module is the debut feature for the concept of Assets inside of the Hark Platform which will help us provide a better experience for modelling your locations, operations, and machinery or monitored assets in the Hark Platform. With your assets in the Hark Platform, we can provide much better insight in to your organisation and give you the ability to dive down to learn more, solve problems and ultimately be more efficient.

Managing Assets

Managing an Asset in the Energy Module

The Energy module contains a new area for managing, listing and sorting your assets in the Hark Platform. When creating an Asset you can select the Sensors that are applicable for the Asset, give it a name and save! If you need to go back and change the name or add and remove Sensors, you can do that later. If the Asset is being retired, simply archive it.

Energy Reporting

Consumption Information for an Asset

When you’ve setup your Asset, or Assets, in the Energy module, click in to them and you’ll get the energy report for the given Asset. Top line figures of energy consumption and kgCO₂e compared to the previous period are available at a click to help you understand your trend of energy over time. You will also see your energy trend over time in a graph for a visual representation!

Date Selection for the Energy Report

Using the date selection tool you can quickly get your energy reports for today, yesterday, the current week or any date range you want!

If enabled on your account, you can see a break down of cost information, baselining of your energy for comparison, Red-Amber-Green cost and consumption breakdowns and there’s more! If you’d like a demo of the new Energy module, get in touch!

We’re very excited about the new Energy module and providing more around Assets inside of the Hark Platform, so stay tuned!

Authentication Technologies

In February we’re shipping an update to our authentication systems that allow us to be more flexible with authentication in the future. For example, an organization may want to use their own Single Sign-On provider, like Active Directory, for authentication in to the Hark Platform. We’ll now be able to provide support for such authentication methods moving forward.

For existing organizations, all of the permissions, roles and existing user accounts will still continue to function as normal without change!
