Of the many assets held by businesses, arguably the most valuable resource is company data. However, too many companies aren’t aware of exactly what data they can access, and how to use it to their advantage. There is an increasing awareness around the globe of the value of data, particularly on the back of generative…

Oil and gold have long been considered two valuable commodities for human society, oil as the world’s primary energy source, and gold as an economic asset, bringing the holder wealth and power. However, as the world increasingly adopts digital technologies, water and data are emerging as equally important commodities, with each having the ability to…

The introduction of telemetry into Formula One revolutionised the way race cars were able to perform, allowing teams to pre-emptively make changes and repairs to the car based on performance and efficiency data. This same mindset can – and should – be applied to the water-treatment industry – with equipment-monitoring technology able to revolutionise the…

It could be argued that never before in our global history has there been so many Governments, organisations, businesses and individuals invested in developing sustainable energy solutions, as there is right now. While the continued push toward Net Zero by 2050 is a key motivator, so too is the global energy crisis, which is continuing…

Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) is a key metric in driving data centre efficiency and sustainability. PUE measures the amount of power used by a data centre relative to the amount of power used by the IT equipment it contains. The lower the PUE, the more energy efficient the data centre is considered to be. Asset…

Digital transformation is revolutionising the way data centres operate and manage their infrastructure. One critical aspect of this transformation is the use of advanced electrical monitoring systems such as Numen. Numen enables data centres to optimise their energy efficiency and minimise downtime. One of the key benefits of electrical monitoring systems is their ability to…

Predictive maintenance is a proactive approach to maintaining industrial electrical assets that involves using advanced technologies, such as machine learning (a form of Artificial Intelligence), to predict when a piece of equipment is likely to fail. This allows maintenance teams to address problems before they occur, rather than waiting for scheduled maintenance or for the…

The link between bad maintenance and increased energy consumption of electrical assets is an important one to understand, as it can have a significant impact on the cost and efficiency of running a facility or business. When electrical assets are not properly maintained, they tend to operate at less than optimal levels. This can cause…

As technology continues to advance, more and more industries are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their operations. One area where AI is making a significant impact is in electrical asset condition monitoring. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the benefits of using AI-based systems for monitoring the condition of electrical…
