The Challenge

Your energy assets don't talk to each other

A working site runs generators, solar, batteries, inverters and the grid — each with its own controller, protocol and screen. The result: no single source of truth, and no way to act fast when it matters.

Fragmented protocols

Modbus, serial, building systems — data lives in a dozen places and reaches none of them together.

No live visibility

Faults, empty fuel tanks and battery wear get discovered on a site visit — after they cost you.

Manual control

Starting a genset or switching a battery bank still means someone on-site, flipping a switch.

The Apex Platform

Sense. Stream. Steer.

Apex collapses the whole stack — from the field sensor to the control room — into one platform, with the control plane to act on what it sees.

Sense

Universal capture

Every asset and register, normalized into clean telemetry at the edge.

Stream

Live to cloud

Secure uplink with change-based reporting — seconds, not minutes.

Steer

Remote control

Start, stop and switch modes straight from the dashboard.

Scale

Any site, any size

One microgrid or a fleet — the same architecture grows with you.

Edge + Cloud Architecture

An industrial edge, an elastic cloud — each does what it does best

Apex runs split-brain: a rugged industrial PC (IPC) on-site owns real-time acquisition and control; the cloud owns history, analytics and orchestration. Neither depends on the other to keep working.

The Edge · on-site

Industrial PC (IPC)

  • Fanless, rugged IPC — DIN-rail / panel-mount, no moving parts
  • Runs the Apex Edge Gateway in Docker
  • Sub-second polling & local control loops
  • Store-and-forward buffering through outages
  • Keeps running if the cloud link drops — dials out only
The Cloud · anywhere

Apex Energy Cloud

  • Aggregates every site, asset & signal
  • Time-series history, rules, alarms & events
  • Dashboards + mobile, anywhere
  • Remote config & over-the-air updates
  • Multi-tenant, role-based, elastic scale
Resilient

Decentralised by Design

Distributed acquisition, no single point of failure

Instead of trunking every cable back to one panel, Apex pushes intelligence into the field. Modbus RTU (RS-485) devices cluster onto local gateways that bridge to Modbus TCP over Ethernet — each asset group its own acquisition node.

  • Fault isolation — one node drops, the rest keep running
  • Less cabling — RS-485 daisy-chains locally; one Ethernet run home
  • Vendor-agnostic — any device, RTU or TCP, mixed per zone
  • Scale in zones — add a gateway to add an asset group
  • Local buffering — each node holds data through dropouts
  • Easy retrofits — wire a new zone without touching the rest

What Apex Manages

Seven asset classes, fully instrumented

Each asset reports the signals that actually drive dispatch, health and yield — and the controllable ones accept commands back.

Generation

Solar

Irradiance, voltage, current, power & module temperature.

Generation

Wind

Output power, rotor & wind speed, wind direction.

Generation

Generator

Fuel, oil temp, output, run-hours · remote start/stop.

Storage

Batteries

6 banks · SoC, temp, charge/discharge, cycle count · mode control.

Conversion

Inverter

3-phase in/out, per-phase power, current & temp · mode control.

Distribution

Transformer

Per-phase V/I, day & night energy · per-phase mode control.

Load

Consumption

3-phase load, power demand & daily energy.

Grid

Mains / Export

Import/export balance & power quality at the point of common coupling.

Edge Intelligence

Smart telemetry, not a firehose

The Edge Gateway polls every asset each second but only forwards what's meaningful — full fidelity on events, light on bandwidth.

  • On-change — status, faults and mode flips uplink the instant they happen
  • Periodic — fast analogues like voltage & power stream on a tuned interval
  • Hybrid — slow signals (temperature) report only when they drift
  • Store & forward — buffers locally through outages, syncs on reconnect

Always-On Energy Auditing

A continuous energy audit — not a once-a-year report

A consultant audits your energy once and leaves. Apex audits it every second — baselining, benchmarking and flagging waste around the clock, turning raw telemetry into the KPIs that drive decisions.

Efficiency

Specific consumption

kWh per unit of output — your true energy intensity.

Generation

Specific fuel

Litres per kWh from each genset — efficiency, live.

Mix

Renewable share

% of load served by solar & wind, hour by hour.

Quality

Power factor & demand

Stay ahead of utility penalties and peak charges.

Cost

Cost per kWh

By source — grid vs genset vs solar — in real time.

Carbon

CO₂ emitted vs avoided

Automatic reporting for ESG and compliance.

Flagged the moment it happens: off-shift loads left running, idling equipment, drifting power factor, demand spikes and underperforming inverters.

Two Sides of Every Signal

One sensor, two payoffs: performance & protection

Every measurement works twice — it quantifies how well a process runs, and it watches the health of the machine running it. Metering both the input and the output of an asset is where it compounds.

Fuel meter bidirectional supply − return FUEL IN ▸ GENSET combustion → power Energy meter kWh produced ◂ ENERGY OUT Fuel in ÷ kWh out = L/kWh true efficiency, computed live
  • True specific fuel consumption (L/kWh) — measured, not nameplate
  • Theft & leak detection — fuel gone with no kWh to show for it
  • Predictive maintenance — a rising L/kWh trend flags wear before failure
  • Smart dispatch — real cost/kWh: genset vs solar vs grid
  • Optimal loading — keep the engine in its efficient 75–85% band
Performance side

Throughput, specific consumption, efficiency % and benchmarking across assets and shifts.

Health side

Temperature, run-hours, fuel and cycle trends → preventive & predictive maintenance.

Control Plane

Don't just watch it — run it

Apex is bidirectional. Commands travel from the dashboard back to the asset over the same secure channel that carries telemetry.

  • Remote start / stop — gensets, solar, wind and every battery bank
  • Mode setpoints — inverter, transformer phases, battery charge mode
  • Automatable — rules can dispatch assets without a human in the loop
  • Audited — every command logged with who, what and when
