Built around the specially developed ‘click-on’ current transformer, the system integrates easily into your existing electrical distribution system and is designed to work with any legacy equipment already installed on your site.
Easy installation means minimal time required to integrate into your existing electrical systems making them ‘intelligent’ without the need to replace or upgrade. Once installed you can then start to benchmark and reduce your consumption.
The InTouch SEMS is a non-intrusive energy monitoring solution designed to
provide accurate real time visibility of your energy consumption at the branch
circuit or even asset level. By being able to monitor and analyse a buildings use
of power, companies are able to develop strategic and long term energy plans to
ensure the most efficient of practices and equipment are deployed enabling the
cost effective operation of sites and real cost savings are achieved.
Businesses of all sizes, increasingly recognise the need to be efficient in their use of energy and to develop energy consumption as a source of competitive advantage. The Sub metering, branch circuit and asset level metering of energy usage that SEMS facilitates provides the visibility for businesses to create and implement effective energy saving initiatives.
Development of intelligent building control programs, behavioural changes and replacement of inefficient equipment with energy efficient alternatives are just some areas where SEMS is demonstrating real improvements to businesses.
The implementation of energy saving initiatives and programs based on real life consumption analysis is helping businesses find fiscal benefits and operational improvements providing an ROI in less than 18 months in some cases.
InTouch Intelligent Solutions I SEMS
The SEMS Gateway acts as the bridge between your electrical cabinets and the cloud software platform eTactica™. The Gateway collects the data locally
and sends on the relevant information to the dashboard allowing you the user to interrogate the live data being produced.
The InTouch eDB™ is a distribution board built with energy efficiency as a core guiding design principle. Designed with our SEMS system built in and configured for access to our eTactica platform the InTouch eDB™ allows you to instantly keep track of your energy consumption.
Designed using industry leading electrical distribution components the InTouch eDB™ makes for a drop in replacement to your usual distribution boards.
Energy efficiency and carbon consumption are key topics within a businesses CSR agenda these days. The drive towards increased environmental awareness, as well as the introduction of penalties for large consumers acts as a key incentive to not only reduce your carbon footprint, but to demonstrate that this has been done. The InTouch SEMS gives organisations the insight to be able to make real changes that will help to accomplish these aims.
eDB - The ‘Intelligent’ Distribution Board
• Small Profile design for installation
with existing equipment
• Works with any MCB, RCBO
• Easy Installation, with minimal time
required
• Makes
existing
equipment
intelligent and fit for the future.
• Allows for benchmarking of your
energy consumption
• Turn energy usage into a competitive
advantage
• Monitor critical equipment to
preempt and avert problems
• Use SEMS as part of your
environmental strategy
InTouch utilises the state of the art eTactica™ platform for reporting and analysing your energy consumption data. With simplicity, ease of access and the ability to customise all chief concerns in the design of the system it gives users the information they want, how they want it, all in real time.
With a clear dashboard designed to give the user the key information it is easy to identify consumption trends and unusual usage and then to drill down into that data to discover more.
Demonstrate your Green Credentials
InTouch allows users to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint
Trend data identifies changes from previous periods and allows forecasting of future usage
CRC Compliant Reporting across multiple sites via the eTactica dashboard.
Can be used as part of an ISO 50001 compliant management system
The flexibility of eTactica™ is unparalleled in the market today. Built from scratch to focus on energy monitoring the system is focussed on the user experience. A variety of different views and overlays and the ability to manipulate a variety of different content filters allows you to take an overview of your energy consumption or focus on the detail. At the click of a button users can go from viewing first an asset, a circuit, a whole distribution board, a site or even multiple sites and analyse detailed consumption data for those selections. The dashboard clearly identifies usage cost alongside the consumption level and also provides CO2 consumption data as a headline indicator.
• Identify and map positive and negative
usage trends
• Select date ranges to analyse
• Categories allow groups of similar
circuits to be viewed together
• Enables usage forecasting including
allowances for seasonal variations
• Setup alerts to advise you of
unexpected usage or problem
conditions
• Full carbon footprint analysis and
• CRC reporting
• Customisable reporting tool
• Identify branch level critical loads and
overloads
• Cloud service accessible 24/7/365
User customisable alerts keepyou updated on energy events and will allow you to monitor critical loads.
Key Statistics such as cost, consumption in kWh and carbon footprint are highlighted throughout the dashboard as well as quick indicators on whether the period trend is good or bad.
IKEA, Rekyjavik Iceland
What the Client Needed;
• increased usage transparency • to compare daily usage against sales • to reduce costs
The eTactica system was deployed in IKEA’s Reykjavik store and has been used to successfully reduce consumption on lighting and to identify optimal usage patterns for air conditioning lowering overall costs.
What the client said;
“The eTactica system continuously provides us with new information to make it possible for us to track energy trends in detail and make measurable savings.”
Thorarinn Aevarsson, CEO IKEA Iceland

• 10.3% Saving on
Lighting
• 10.5% Saving on IT
equipment
• 10.5% Saving on
socket outlets
• Overload identified
in four key
operational circuits
Datacentre Operator
What the Client Needed;
• to ensure operational reliability
• to gather accurate usage readings for individual cabinets • option to pass data to in-house BMS system
SEMS was implemented as part of the provision of a new suite of 72-Way Power Distribution Units across multiple UK Sites.
Whilst the system has been implemented to utilise our eTactica platform the client also wanted the ability to transfer data to their BMS system if required. Modbus compatibility is built into SEMS and has allowed for such integration to be made as and when the client chooses.
Mixed Use Offices, Lighting Scheme
What the Client Needed;
• to justify capital expenditure on energy saving schemes
• ongoing monitoring to help improve staff engagement with energy saving initiatives • to reduce costs
The eTactica system was deployed in the existing building stock of the client. A trial scheme to roll out LED lighting in the office spaces was undertaken as part of refurbishment works in part of the building. Using data from eTactica the we were able to calculate for the client that their new lighting was running at less than 20% of the cost of their original fixtures. In addition we calculated that the overall lifecycle cost over 10 years would be in excess of 65% lower.
What the client said;
“We were surprised just how big a saving the new equipment would make and we only know this thanks to the data collected by SEMS. We have already identified other energy saving initiatives we intend to implement off the back of the data being collected.”
