eDNA, InStep's leading real-time data historian, provides data collection from electronically enabled meters as well as handheld devices. This ensures all of your energy/utility data is collected and correlated to provide a comprehensive, detailed view of your utility usage. Information can also be collected from other operational assets - including plant and building control systems - for a complete view of your operation. Display screens and trends can be configured, calculations can be performed, and alarm points can be set for automated reporting and notification of events. eDNA Energy Management Tools ensure easy access to data.
Other energy management solutions use relational databases to store the enterprise data. These relational databases do not have the capabilities of a real-time data historian such as eDNA. With eDNA, data is stored in a highly compressed format, allowing increased storage time and ensuring easy access to archived data. Also, the data is stored in a higher resolution than possible with relational databases. This means increased data quality and increased data accuracy.
Another advantage to the eDNA solution is eDNA's ability to collect and store information in real-time. Data can be collected on a second-by-second basis, providing the real-time support you need to maintain control of your energy usage. eDNA's real-time capabilities combined with its integration with other enterprise control systems provides users with the most detailed, accurate reports on operations. |
