Power monitoring and control
July 1st 2006

The award winning PowerLogic energy metering and management solution from Merlin Gerin, a brand of Schneider Electric, has been strengthened and expanded by the integration of the ION range developed by Power Management.

This integration of solutions, which follows Schneider Electric's recent acquisition of Canadian based Power Management, now provides users with a single source of supply for a comprehensive set of power monitoring and control solutions. These cover applications at every level from the utility's distribution grid to the end user's cabling circuits.

"In the field of power monitoring and control, our objective is clear and simple," said Richard Hipkiss of Schneider Electric's Building Services and Solutions. "It's to give our customers ready access to the best possible tools and services for taking control of the utility consumption and power usage.

"This allows them to achieve better cost management, improved operating efficiency and increased profits," he continued. "Integrating the ION solution with the PowerLogic solution puts us in an exceptionally strong position to deliver these essential benefits, as well as giving us the strongest possible base for further innovation and development."

The PowerLogic System Manager Software and ION Enterprise monitoring and analysis software can now support both Merlin Gerin PowerLogic and PowerLogic ION hardware. Both suites of software provide a userfriendly interface and comprehensive set of analysis and reporting tools through which to identify potential savings through energy and power management.
