Revolutionizing Remote Power Management
Smart, Secure, and Connected Energy Management
Powering Reliability, Eliminating Downtime
Businesses deploying remote and mobile power solutions face frequent power outages and equipment failures due to improperly designed systems that lack insight into their operating environment. As solar-plus-storage power solutions become essential for heavy vehicles, remote broadband installations, and 5G small node sites, ensuring reliable performance is critical. Extended downtimes disrupt operations, increase costs, and reduce service reliability. Addressing this challenge with advanced analytics and real-time monitoring is essential for maintaining uptime, optimizing performance, and supporting businesses in delivering uninterrupted services.
Smart Monitoring for Uninterrupted Power
Watchdog is a microcontroller-based IoT platform for remote monitoring, data processing, and device administration of Vulcan power systems. It provides real-time and historical data access, simplifies management, supports hybrid power solutions, and integrates with Xantrex and Victron systems. Watchdog also enables monetization through MQTT cloud service and enterprise visualization platforms.
IMPROVED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Watchdog is a smart controller for monitoring power system health, status and key performance indicators (KPIs) from anywhere in the world. Watchdog turns Vulcan devices into hybrid power systems to deliver smart, unattended microgrid power to critical loads indefinitely. Watchdog removes the logistical, reporting, control and maintenance challenges of geographically distributed Vulcan power solutions.
ENHANCED PROBLEM RESPONSE
Watchdog’s streamlined data collection and analytics eliminates human errors by integrating telemetry data into its built-in reporting tools and dashboard. Analyze data for better decision-making and cost-effective planning. Detect issues remotely and respond instantly, reducing the need for on-site staff and increasing system uptime.
COST SAVINGS
Reduce Maintenance Costs: Visibility into operating and environmental parameters optimizes system maintenance scheduling and preemptive repair.
Reduce Labor Need: Remote monitoring and controls support the use of fewer maintenance staff.
Improved Data Access: Data as information leads to better decision making and equipment insight, reducing response times and supporting more cost effective planning.
SIMPLIFY CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Leverage robust data insights for seamless deployment upgrades, such as enhancing battery capacity or adapting to increase power outages and optimize system maintenance schedules, reduce labor costs, and achieve significant savings with centralized and remote monitoring.
