ABB Ekip SmartVision advanced energy management

Ekip SmartVision from ABB combines the connectivity and sensing capabilities of Emax 2 circuit breakers with a cloud platform to deliver actionable information for advanced energy management, remote supervision and diagnostics services. Power consumption, costs and electrical behaviour can be continuously monitored and analysed, making it easier and faster to implement energy management strategies.

An optimised energy management strategy can reduce peak power consumption and deliver savings on electricity bills of up to 20%, depending on local tariffs. An additional 10% saving is possible through efficiency improvement actions, enabled by monitoring and benchmarking energy demand and costs.

The Ekip SmartVision connects with the Emax 2 circuit breaker, leveraging its in-built intelligence and connectivity. Emax 2 is connected to devices installed in the electrical system — such as additional circuit breakers, arc guards and multimeters — which become sensors able to measure and share data. The program gathers data through the cloud platform and provides information to enable analysis by facility managers.

Ekip SmartVision provides direct supervision of electrical assets across even the most complex electrical installations. With automatic alerts, immediate access to documentation from multiple devices and remote diagnostic functions, maintenance becomes simpler than before. Due to its cloud-based architecture, Ekip SmartVision works from anywhere via a smartphone, tablet or PC.
