The Business Challenge

Energy You Can't Measure, You Can't Manage

When consumption is only visible on a monthly bill, there's no way to see which circuits drive cost, when demand spikes, or where waste hides. Connected meters and switches turn that bill into a live signal you can watch and act on — before the next invoice, not after it.

Usage You Can't See

A single monthly figure hides which loads, sites or shifts are actually driving the energy bill.

Costly Demand Peaks

Short bursts of high demand can set expensive tariff charges that simple metering never reveals until the bill arrives.

Manual Switching

Turning circuits and equipment on or off often means a person on site, which is slow and easy to forget.

Faults Found Too Late

Overloads, phase imbalance or a degrading string often surface only after equipment or output is already affected.

Platform Capability

Meters and Strings, Turned Into a Live Signal

Meter and string-level readings flow into the Barquecon platform, where threshold and anomaly checks turn raw consumption and generation data into alerts and remote-switching actions — built around your sites, panels and tariffs.

Continuous Metering
Every circuit, site or phase reporting consumption and generation data on a live, not monthly, cycle.

Anomaly & Fault Detection
Threshold and trend checks flag overloads, imbalance and degrading strings before they become downtime.

Remote Load Control
Switch circuits and shed load from a dashboard, without a site visit.

Architecture

How the Data Actually Flows

From a meter or string sensor on the panel to a load-management decision — the path a live deployment runs, sensor to dashboard.

Meter / String Sensors

Voltage, current, temperature, irradiance

Edge Gateway

Reads meters/inverters, pushes readings upstream

Ingestion & Analysis

Threshold checks, anomaly and degradation flags

Alerts & Events

Overload, imbalance and anomaly notifications

Control & Dashboard

Remote switching, load shedding, live view

What's In the Kit

What a Deployment Includes

The building blocks we combine to fit single-phase fittings or three-phase installations, depending on your sites.

Smart Meters

Continuous consumption readings per circuit, site or phase, single- or three-phase.

Remote Switches

Turn circuits and equipment on or off from anywhere, no site visit required.

Edge Gateway

Reads meters and inverters on site and pushes readings upstream reliably.

Load-Management Dashboard

Live consumption, thresholds and switching controls in one view.

Alert Rules

Overload, imbalance and unexpected-consumption notifications tuned to your thresholds.

Reporting & Trends

Logged load profiles supporting billing, planning and efficiency work.

Integrations

Connects Into What You Already Run

Metering and switching data is only useful where your team already works — we integrate rather than replace.

Billing Systems

Feed logged load profiles into billing and cost-allocation workflows.

Building & SCADA Systems

Bring meter and switch data into an existing building-management or SCADA layer.

Alerting Channels

Push overload and imbalance alerts to SMS, email or a channel your facilities team watches.

ROI

What Live Metering Changes

Concrete outcomes from turning a monthly bill into a live, actionable signal.

Lower

demand-charge exposure once peak bursts are visible and can be shed or scheduled off-peak.

Faster

fault response — an anomaly flagged ahead of a failure, instead of discovered as downtime.

No Visit

needed to switch a circuit or check a reading — remote metering and control replace the site trip.

Directional outcomes based on what smart metering and remote switching make visible — we'll size the specific case against your loads and tariffs during a pilot.

Beyond the Meter

AI, Software & Automation for Energy & Utilities

Metering and switching are the entry point — the same data pipeline extends into forecasting, maintenance and reporting software as a site's needs grow, phase by phase.

Demand Forecasting Models

Forecasting software built on logged consumption and load history, to give operators advance notice of demand peaks instead of reacting after the bill arrives.

Predictive Maintenance Alerts

The same anomaly-detection approach described above — extended to transformers, inverters and other assets — flags a developing fault before it becomes downtime.

Reporting & Compliance Automation

Logged load and generation data can feed automated reporting pipelines, cutting down the manual compilation work behind billing, audits and sustainability disclosures.

Renewable Generation Software

Custom dashboards and monitoring software for solar and wind assets — the same platform pattern behind Barquecon's Inject Solar engagement, built to scale from a single site to a distributed fleet.

A Phased Path to Get There

Site & meter audit → IoT & data infrastructure → forecasting & anomaly detection → reporting & automation — each phase builds on what a pilot proves out, without disrupting operations.

Integrates, Doesn't Replace

Forecasting, maintenance and reporting software plug into the billing, SCADA and alerting systems your team already runs — extending what's in place rather than starting over.
