    Connect

    Integrate acquisition platforms and gateways; map meters and sensors to devices and circuits.

Electrical safety

Risks show up as alarms, and handling is on record

Four kinds of online monitoring cover common electrical-fire risks on the distribution side. Every anomaly lands in fault alarms.

Leakage & cable temperature

Continuous residual current and cable temperature; alarms on breach.

Joint temperature

Busbar and connector temperatures inside switchgear.

Insulation monitoring

Online insulation resistance, e.g. for IT earthing systems.

Fiber-optic temperature

Distributed sensing along cables for long cable trenches.

Connectivity

Devices, APIs, gateways: all into one ledger

The mainstream energy IoT platforms on the market are already integrated, so most existing meters, gateways and third-party systems connect as they are. When an owner needs something specific, we can also build a custom platform for them.

Mainstream platforms integrated
Integrations with the mainstream energy IoT and device cloud platforms are already in place. Once the owner authorizes an account, device records and data sync automatically, with no hardware replacement.
Energy IoT cloudsSmart meter platformsSmart lighting platformsEnvironment monitoringBuilding & device clouds
Gateway MQTT push
Acquisition gateways publish meter data by topic, connected directly.
Open API integration
Third-party systems and acquisition platforms integrated by API, mapped point by point.
Field protocol conversion
Modbus and other fieldbus and meter protocols, converted by gateways upstream.
Video and sensors
CCTV, temperature, humidity and other sensors, shown next to energy data.
Custom platforms for owners
If the owner already runs its own system, or needs a dedicated data platform and APIs, we build to their requirements and can deploy on the owner’s own servers.

How you know the data is reliable
  • Meter and gateway online status
  • Offline events logged automatically
  • Sync job run history
  • Every point mapping inspectable

Any brand or model. Share point lists or API documents during pre-sales and we will assess the connection path and timeline.

Going live

From meter inventory to daily use

Most projects follow these six steps. The first two decide whether later statistics are clear, so they deserve the time.

Before we start, please prepare
  • 1Distribution or single-line diagram
  • 2Meter list: brand, model, location
  • 3API documents for the acquisition platform or gateway
  • 4Local tariff and peak/flat/valley periods
  • 5Floor area, headcount or output data

Timelines depend on meter count, connection path and site conditions. We provide a project plan during pre-sales.

    Inventory meters

    Check each meter’s location and upstream/downstream relation against the diagram.

    OutputMeter and circuit list

    Train and hand over

    Train each role on its pages and set up daily and monthly report templates.

    OutputAccounts, templates and guide
Platform

Administration, audit and openness

EMS runs on MeetCarbon Cloud, so accounts, data scope and interfaces are managed the same way as the rest of the platform.

Organization isolation

Each organization under a group, park or service provider keeps its data separate and manages it independently.

Project-level data scope

Statistics, alarms and reports work within a project, and projects can be benchmarked against each other.

Operation and control logs

Configuration changes and control actions are logged one by one, searchable by time and operator.

Open meter API

Token-based access to meter lists and readings, for dashboards or your own systems.

Data export

Statistics lists export to CSV; custom reports can output Excel, PDF and more.

Cloud or on-premises

Use the MeetCarbon Cloud service, or deploy on your own servers.

Editions

Community and Enterprise

Community Edition is free and self-hostable — good for single-site trials and integration testing. Choose Enterprise for multiple projects, prepaid billing and on-site delivery.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can meters we already installed be connected?

In most cases, yes. If you have an acquisition platform or gateway, we integrate through its API. Meters with only a field bus can be connected through an added gateway. Share brands and point lists and we will assess the path.

Is on-premises deployment supported?

Yes. Enterprise can run on your own servers, and Community Edition can be self-hosted as well.

How are carbon emissions calculated?

Set coal-equivalent and carbon factors for power, water, gas and heat under Settings → Conversion factors. Statistics and dashboards convert with those factors, which you can update to the latest published values.

How does it relate to Zero-Carbon Building and Zero-Carbon Park?

EMS handles metering, monitoring and safety. Zero-Carbon Building and Park add carbon targets, PV and storage, and carbon assets on top, reusing the same energy data.

Can we upgrade from Community to Enterprise later?

Yes. Project structure, device and circuit setup carry over; after upgrading you enable prepaid, HMI editing and other modules as needed.

Can several parks or factories be viewed together?

Yes. Enterprise supports multiple projects and organizations. Each project has its own statistics, and projects can be ranked on intensity, unit cost and power factor.

How are sub-items defined?

EMS ships with a common sub-item tree — HVAC, power equipment, lighting and sockets and so on — which you adjust to the building, then combine with groups and formulas into the breakdowns you need.

Can we see transformer load and power factor?

Yes. Power monitoring shows transformer load rate, with a warning at 80% and overload at 90% by default; thresholds are adjustable. Power factor and maximum demand are in power curves and device detail.

Can alarms be pushed to phones?

Alarms are shown by level in EMS, and handlers acknowledge and clear them with a record kept. SMS, WeCom and other push channels are integrated per project; we can assess this during pre-sales.

Can prepaid cut power automatically when the balance runs out?

The prepaid module manages tenant accounts, top-ups, bills and low-balance warnings. Remote switching depends on whether the meters and gateways support control, and is enabled after a per-project assessment.

Can data be exported or connected to our own systems?

Yes. Statistics lists export to CSV, custom reports can output Excel, PDF and other formats, and an open meter API gives token-based access to meter lists and readings.

Is there AI analysis?

AI capabilities such as anomaly detection, load forecasting and saving recommendations can be enabled per project and shown in the demo.

Check whether your meters can connect

Tell us the site type, meter count and current acquisition setup. We will arrange a demo and suggest a connection plan.
