("Utilitywise" or the "Group")
Partnership with Dell
Utilitywise plc (AIM:UTW), the leading independent utility cost
management consultancy, announces that it has been named an OEM
partner by Dell as part of a joint strategy to introduce Internet
of Things (IoT) Building Automation solutions to customers.
IoT connects internet-enabled devices with powerful software to
provide users with a more granular level of control over
energy-consuming assets. Devices include heating, ventilation and
air conditioning (HVAC), security, refrigeration and lighting,
which have traditionally operated as standalone entities.
Connecting disparate devices together in a single, intelligent
system can provide significant cost and performance advantages over
traditional Building Energy Management Systems (BeMS)
solutions.
Andy Rhodes, executive director, commercial IoT solutions, Dell,
said:
"IoT technology is changing the way we live, work and do
business. We know the IoT can provide a number of advantages to the
energy management industry such as reducing waste, identifying
efficiencies and cost savings.
"Dell is excited to be working with Utilitywise, and we believe
they have the infrastructure, industry knowledge and market reach
to introduce innovative IoT solutions."
Brin Sheridan, Utilitywise COO, commented:
"IoT technology enhances our existing t-mac BeMS capability.
When we acquired t-mac, we recognised that the emerging IoT
landscape would complement their cloud-based analytics and controls
solution. Now, in addition to providing traditional BeMS users with
enhanced solutions, IoT technologies will enable Utilitywise to
offer affordable solutions to SMEs who are usually priced out of
this market.
"These are exciting times and we are also exploring a number of
new services that could be facilitated by IoT, for example opening
up demand-side reduction capability to more businesses.
"Our strategic relationship with Dell puts us at the centre of
emerging IoT developments, which will ensure that our customers are
amongst the first to benefit from enhanced energy management
solutions that save them money and reduce their carbon
footprint".
