Wireless Smart Plug
Energy Systems Technologies recently received the inaugural Top New Product award in April at the 2014 Niagara Summit in Las Vegas hosted by Tridium Inc. for its energy-saving Plug-IT device. The Plug-IT allows companies to measure and control energy usage 24 hours a day, reducing consumption and costs. Companies can use their existing Wi-Fi network to operate Plug-IT, a wireless smart plug with a programmable on/off schedule. The device allows companies to measure and manage actual energy use at the plug-load level, analyze the data to determine an optimal schedule and remotely program devices individually, in groups or by location. Plug-IT works with the Niagara Framework software to allow connection of an unlimited number of smaller electrical devices, such as coffee makers, vending machines, photocopiers, computer displays, televisions and computers. The system also provides robust analytics based on a building’s plug-load energy usage, which can help building engineers and end-users understand their energy consumption.
