Sense Reply's IoT expertise and solutions to support energy transition and renewables
The increase in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is one of the main causes of global warming. By 2030, the EU aims to reduce emissions by 55%, becoming the first zero-impact continent by 2050. The use of renewable energy sources is a cornerstone of energy transition with a target set in Europe for 2030 of 42.5% of energy consumed. To centralize governance and maximize plant efficiency, it is crucial to use new technologies to support plant monitoring and production optimization activities, especially when the plant park is built with acquisitions that involve having to manage heterogeneous technologies and architectures.
Digitalization is a key element in transforming the structure of the energy sector. New tools, such as IoT platforms, allow us to acquire, process, historicize and analyze timely operating data of each device of complex systems with a previously unthinkable granularity.
The availability of this data allows the application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence components, alongside KPIs and traditional indicators, to identify and resolve malfunctions and apply optimization logic with a speed and level of automation previously unthinkable. These new capabilities are reflected in increased production, the reduction of malfunctions, the efficiency of restoration interventions, the useful life of assets and ultimately allow us to maximize production and minimize the payback time on investments.
Sense Reply's IoT platform consists of multiple modules: Gateway, Data Ingestion, Integration Layer, Core Services, Data Services and Monitoring Services. Each of these modules can be activated and configured separately. It is also integrated with an AI/MLOps infrastructure that makes it easy to exploit ML and AI algorithms to accelerate the onboarding of new plants and to introduce complex data inferences and automations for forecasting, prediction and deep automation.
Our clients can inject third parties AI/ML algorithms or can develop, train, test and release new algorithms in total autonomy.
Sense Reply has developed the RIPA (Reply IoT Platform Accelerator) that takes advantage of its open architecture to speed up the plants integration with no limits and constraints, securing the end-to-end communication and enabling the data ingestion into a centralized, normalized datalake, where they can rely on traditional plant monitoring data anlysis and KPIs and where they can exploit the power of AI/ML.
Sense Reply supports companies looking to enter renewable energy production markets by providing its own IoT platform and offering strategic technology consulting and system integration services. These include support with defining the best technology strategy for implementing monitoring and control systems in renewable energy production facilities, assistance with the “make” or “buy” decision for implementing monitoring application systems, the implementation of monitoring solutions, requirement definition and analysis, application development and testing, project governance with a waterfall approach or agile methodology, and application maintenance.
