Yes, inGenious Peak offers a high degree of flexibility and can be installed either as a cloud service or directly in the client's local server environment. This dual approach allows you to choose the best option based on specific security, operational, and infrastructure needs. Both on-site installation and deployment in Inea's cloud provide complete control over the system and data, which is crucial for organizations with high security and privacy requirements. Installing inGenious Peak on a local server ensures independence from potential external communication interruptions, while cloud installation facilitates easier future upgrades to inGenious Flex.
While inGenious Peak significantly reduces the wear and tear on conductive components in the electrical network, regular condition checks remain crucial for stable and efficient production. The inGenious Peak dashboard allows for the customization of performance indicators, and combined with alarms, these can provide early warnings of declining quality in specific system components. This enables preventive maintenance, helping to avoid major operational disruptions that could cause both material damage to equipment and business losses due to production halts.
The mutual use of flexibility among multiple devices in inGenious Peak is not possible, as it focuses on the optimal peak power prediction within a single interval for each device individually. inGenious Peak is designed for users who generate most of their energy peaks with a smaller number of devices, typically found in heavy industries where primary activities revolve around a few major loads, such as melting furnaces in metallurgy. To utilize the flexibility of all connected devices and create more complex operational schedules that account for the needs of the entire system, an upgrade to inGenious Flex is required.
The INEA inGenious product family is designed to be fully modular, allowing it to grow and adapt with your needs without requiring a complete system replacement. When upgrading to inGenious Flex, the central system, whether installed on an accessible local server or remotely, remains unchanged. Additional software modules necessary for managing active demand are added, and hardware for managing new devices introduced during the upgrade must be physically installed. Users can decide to upgrade the system at any time, and the data captured by the existing inGenious Peak makes the flexibility analysis before installing inGenious Flex faster and more accurate.
