Industry Insights

Context and market outlook

The ANZ energy landscape

Commercial and industrial buildings account for over $36 billion in annual electricity spend across more than 900 million square metres of floor area. An estimated 20–30% of that energy is wasted. Rising costs, grid volatility, and ageing infrastructure are driving demand for deterministic energy intelligence.

Industries

Edge-first vs. cloud-first

The shift from cloud-dependent building management to edge-first intelligence is accelerating. On-device processing delivers lower latency, data sovereignty, and continuity during connectivity loss — requirements increasingly non-negotiable for critical infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deployment essentials

  • Does data leave our premises?

    No. All processing occurs on the on-premises device. Operational data does not leave the site. Cloud connectivity is optional and never required for core function.

  • Do we need to replace existing equipment?

    No. The platform is hardware-agnostic. It integrates with existing BMS, automation, solar inverters, and storage systems. The device installs at the distribution board alongside existing infrastructure.

  • How quickly do we see results?

    Visibility is immediate at installation. Optimisation and predictive capability improve continuously as models learn site-specific behaviour. Measurable cost outcomes typically emerge within the first quarter.

  • What is the typical payback period?

    Projected payback is typically under 12 months, based on energy savings and avoided maintenance. Actuals depend on building type, scale, baseline spend, and operational patterns.

  • Is this available in our country?

    Current focus is Australia and New Zealand. Product development is aligned to AU/NZ regulatory frameworks for demand response and distributed energy resources.
