Technological innovation for sustainable development

The sustainable future is shaped by the responsible management of resources. And technology is the enabling mechanism to improve quality of life and advance towards the sustainable socio-economic development of society. Without going any further, the United Nations points out that technologies are fundamental to responding to development challenges with the positive impact of the digital revolution. Within the framework of new technologies and support for the digitalization of processes, Edison Next España aims to be one of the driving companies behind the modernization and streamlining of its activities with the support of technology. To this end, the company has two innovative proprietary tools that favor process optimization. On the one hand, Edison Next España has a monitoring platform for photovoltaic self-consumption, under the name ENR, which offers real-time production data, remote maintenance and supervision, KPIs per plant, among other parameters.  A whole series of data available to the client in a personalized dashboard, allowing the economic and energy calculation of the installation from its start-up. On the other hand, the company has IRIS, a unique and fully customizable IT/OT product. It is an open system compatible with virtually any CMMS, which thanks to its architecture and technology allows the design of intelligent variables and algorithms that facilitate the customization of developments tailored to each plant. The assembly between both technologies is key to achieving maximum efficiency in the installation. Indeed, Edison Next España’s innovative commitment to the digitalization of monitoring systems is one of its spearheads for addressing decarbonization. Furthermore, the integration of IDboxRt technology into its activity is also noteworthy. With IRIS, for example, it is possible to monitor energy consumption, perform commercial calculations, control production lines and machinery operations, monitor IT systems, the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Drill Down, among other features. Key tools and systems, created through an exhaustive analysis of the customer experience, which enable the real identification of energy efficiency measures and the savings potential of each process, facilitating appropriate decision-making for continuous improvement and the reduction of CO2 emissions from industrial plants. All of this, with the objective of maximizing the efficiency of each client’s production processes and fully satisfying their needs to address sustainable development.
