1. System analysis
Visit to the workplace.
Survey of the technical features of the installation and its components.
Fewer power peaks, lighter energy bills
OptiWatt monitors and manages the electricity use of commercial kitchens, hotels and other businesses: it spreads the loads, avoids peaks and lowers the contracted power.
Our goal
OptiWatt monitors and manages the electricity use of commercial kitchens, hotels and other businesses: it spreads the loads, avoids peaks and lowers the contracted power.
Savings
With OptiWatt you need less power from the grid operator: the connection cost goes down and, for a new business, the savings are substantial from day one.
Sustainability
Using energy better means wasting less of it: energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Versatility
It suits many kinds of business, it is quick to install and commission, and the results are immediate.
Where it works
Wherever many electrical appliances run at the same time and the available power is a constraint.
How we work
Four steps, from the first site visit to remote monitoring.
2. Consumption check
Check of how the appliances work today.Detection of abnormal consumption by high resistive-load machines.
3. Savings proposal
Estimate of the achievable savings.Tailored solution to bring consumption into line.
4. Installation and commissioning
Custom adaptations for existing appliances.Installation and commissioning of the system.
Remote monitoring of consumption and faults.
What the installation needs
A few preparations by the electrical contractor, before we install the system.
Electrical panel
Voltage and current measurement in the main or zone panel (kitchen, laundry, wellness centre): current transformers (CTs) and a three-phase analyser, supplied by us, which talks to our controller.
Wiring
One cable from the control panel to each machine, in a star layout: shielded 4Ă0.50 mm² cable, readily available.
Power supply
A supply line in the panel, protected by a two-pole residual-current circuit breaker rated 6 A or 10 A.
Ready-to-connect machines
Where possible, machines prepared for optimisation, to be requested when ordering.
Network socket
One UTP network point, category 5e or 6.
Internet
Direct Internet access, for remote control and support.
Why install OptiWatt
When many appliances run at once, the power demand rises, and with it the fixed costs on the bill. OptiWatt <b>coordinates consumption peaks</b> and so <b>lowers the contracted power and the bill</b>.<br>Managing peaks and stabilising the electrical supply is the starting point for truly optimising consumption, in a shop or restaurant as much as in a factory.
Main benefits

Remote access and support (HMI and PLC)
Monitors how appliances are used (switch-ons, consumption) and misuse
Manages the power of the main panel or sub-panels
Adapts to the needs of each installation
Dedicated power threshold when the generator is running
Keeps the power demand down
Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly technical reports
Avoids works and digging to upgrade the supply lines
Dedicated power threshold with renewable-energy systems

Why choose us
OptiWatt works in many sectors and the benefits are immediate: you already save on connection costs. And as installations become ever more electric, keeping power demand in check matters more every year.
Our technical team supports you from the quote to the handover of the system.
