AI-Driven Energy Monitoring System
The Energy Surveillance System (ESS) is an AI-driven energy monitoring system that gives you complete visibility into energy usage across your industrial or commercial facility—identifying waste, predicting energy usage spikes, and sending smart alerts in real-time.
Installation History
Theory & Application
What is the ESS?
The Energy Surveillance System (ESS) is a powerful, AI-driven energy monitoring system designed to help facilities reduce energy waste and improve efficiency.
Each embedded monitoring module tracks up to 17 individual sub-loads per facility, covering everything from HVAC and lighting to water and fuel systems.
Weather kWh Prediction
With ESS Weather, you can also compare monthly kWh usage and clearly see how temperature and humidity impact your energy demand. No more guessing—just smarter planning.
AI-Driven Modeling
At the core of ESS is an AI engine that uses intelligent analytics and predictive modeling to analyze energy usage patterns across all monitored loads.
This built-in intelligence identifies abnormal consumption behavior, detects energy leaks, and forecasts potential demand spikes. Energy intelligence with confidence.

Industrial Energy Monitoring Application
Oil Refinery Applications
Oil refineries consume the most energy in crude distillation, hydrotreating, reforming, and vacuum distillation, followed by processes like cracking, alkylation, and isomerization.
Monitoring energy use across these areas helps identify inefficiencies and reduce waste. ESS uses wireless meters on key equipment, reporting data every second and powered by 10-year self-contained batteries. ESS can monitor energy usage by sector and process:
-
Main Meter
-
Water Usage
-
Heavy Fuel Usage
-
Refinery Fuel Gas
-
Heavy Fuel Oil
Commercial Energy Monitoring Application
Retail & Supermarkets
Supermarkets consume large amounts of electricity to ensure product preservation and maintain a comfortable shopping environment. With proper energy monitoring, savings of up to 15% on total energy costs can be achieved.
By monitoring each load individually, energy managers gain clear insights into abnormal usage patterns—allowing for quick identification of inefficiencies. Stores can also be compared against each other to benchmark performance and detect underperforming equipment.
Maintenance costs are also reduced, as ESS pinpoints issues at the sub-load level in real time—streamlining diagnostics and response. Typical loads that are monitored:
-
Compressors
-
HVAC
-
Lighting
-
Water Consumption
-
Gas/Oil Consumption
-
Baking Ovens
-
Fryers
-
Refrigeration
FAQ
Retail chains typically save up to 15% on their total energy bill by identifying inefficiencies, optimizing equipment schedules, and reducing peak demand.
