Remote management for
power generators
Netbiter
®is a vendor independent solution taking remote management
Power generators may not run often, but when needed it is
crucial that they perform properly. Important applications
and facilities rely on back-up power generators to keep critical
services operational.
A high percentage of power generators in the field do not start
when needed. Most of these start-up problems can easily be
avoided with remote management.
Your challenges
• Ensure that the generator starts when needed
• Reduce scheduled and emergency on-site visits
• Allow instant access to generator status and alarms
• Protect installations and provide site asset security
• Maximize your ROI with enhanced service contracts

NetService - keeping Azerbaijan talking
Azerbaijan company NetService was entrusted to keep base stations operational by installing diesel generators at 450 mobile base stations all around Azerbaijan. These diesel generators supply backup power to the base stations whenever the regular power should fail. “The generators are located outdoors, therfore subject to the varied Azerbaijani climate with temperatures from -20 to +40 degrees. Consequently, it is very important to do regular checkups – a task which can be time-consuming and involve a lot of travelling. “Netbiter has spared us a lot of service trips which means savings in time and money, but more importantly we have better control of the generators and can monitor all parameters in real time through just a web browser.” Yashar Mailov, Service Manager, NetService.
Netbiter® is unlike any other solution. It takes the hassle out
of remote management and gets you online fast!
British company JS Power provides generators that run on diesel or biodiesel and provide business-critical backup power for data centers, hospitals and commercial buildings — operations which need power at all times. With installations all over Europe, it is a great challenge to be sure that each generator always is ready to start. “One of the inherent problems of our industry is generator maintenance, we are constantly working to reduce client maintenance costs, while always making sure that the generators are ready to start 24/7 . Netbiter monitors around 50 different parameters from our generator fleet enabling us to spot potential problems beforehand which means improved uptimes and better service to our customers.” Jonathan Searby, Director, JS Power
