Limerick, Ireland – Nov. 21, 2011 - Irish Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has officially launched a new energy initiative, aimed at helping large and small industries reduce their energy bills and make them more energy efficient. Energy Point has been established by Procad Engineering in Limerick.

A full range of energy management services to industry will be provided. Energy Point will carry out energy audits and identify energy-saving opportunities. The company employs 18 people in Limerick and they hope to create up to 10 high-end jobs over the next 18 months. Along with Procad Enginerring, the initiative will use the expertise and technologies developed by two other local Limerick firms, EpiSensor and ResourceKraft.

Welcome to the new version of our website. This revision (which has been long overdue) includes our latest product catalogue and technical data. It also includes a range of new features such as social network integration, newsletter, download management and improvements to the accessibility of the site. The case study section will be populated soon so watch this space.



We will be attending the Dublin Web Summit in the RDS, Dublin, Ireland on the 27th & 28th October 2011 which should be an interesting event. More information on this event here.

We have just launched a wireless IR proximity sensor which is an integrated battery powered SiCA Platform product. It can be used in any situation where the proximity of a one object to another is important. It sends a data point through the SiCA architecture when it detects that an object has moved away from a face of the product (as per the diagram below).

An example of an application for this product would be to detect open/close events on the door of a chilled warehouse. This is important information to have when working to reduce energy consumption of chillers - the longer a warehouse door is open, the harder chillers will have to work to maintain the ambient temperature.

Data produced by this product could be correlated with chiller energy consumption and HR information to assign responsibility for energy usage to fork lift operators in a warehouse environment. You can find more information on this product here.

Austin, Texas — September 13, 2010 – Control4, a leader in affordable IP-based home control systems, today announced the extension of its EMS 100 Energy Management System through interoperability with load control device and energy monitor manufacturers Entek International LLC, EpiSensor, Jetlun, Eaton, and TED - The Energy Detective. By broadening the ecosystem of interoperable devices within the home area network, Control4, maker of the EMS 100, can help electric utilities offer consumers more ways to participate in demand response programs to save energy, particularly during peak periods. These strategic relationships also give consumers the ability to manage their energy use without smart meters.

Control4 has partnered with leading providers of electricity monitors and load controllers so that consumers can control multiple devices in the home. Leveraging the Control4® platform to automate home appliances and deliver usage information by device, consumers can choose how to respond to or override demand response and price signals from utilities. Control4 will demonstrate the interoperability of its platform with its energy management ecosystem partners at Autovation, September 12th-15th, 2010.
