Energy is certainly the main challenge for our future. Whether it is the inevitable cessation of fossil fuels, the production of water and any other form of energy, there is no doubt that these are the overriding concerns ahead.
Sileno strongly believes that technologies such SCADA, IOT and BIG DATA are efficient tools to help facing the inevitable requirements of the new energy efficiency era.
SCADA systems are the workhorses of industrial automation. They act like a central nervous system, using software and hardware to monitor and control entire plants. Think of it as a real-time data hub. We use PLCs, RTUs ans IOT's sensors to grab readings from equipment, like temperature, pressure, setpoints.... This data feeds into the SCADA, where we can visualize it on human-machine interfaces (HMI). The beauty is, SCADA lets us not just monitor, but also control. We can send setpoint adjustments or even trigger automated responses based on real-time conditions. It's all about keeping our processes running smoothly, efficiently, and safely.

Energy efficiency is not simply consuming less energy: it's the reduction of energy consumption while maintaining or improving the quality of products, services and comfort. It's the unavoidable challenge of the coming times to optimize energy, reduce waste while meeting the growing demand for clean and sustainable energies. Energy efficiency is not about green guru credo or green washing for deceptive companies but is mandatory to enable organizations to survive, being profitable despite the rises of the energy cost, the foreseen end of fossil energies and to face the faster-then-ever climate changes.

Big data technology deals with massive amounts of data collected from various sources and is key for energy efficiency optimization. The technology includes tools for data storage, data processing, data visualization, and data analysis and have for rules the three V: “Volume, Velocity, Variety”. Big Data is the undefective ally of SCADA technology and Energy Management systems: with the emergence of IOT and the fast growing number of sensors in buildings and industries process, the capacity to process tons of data is a must in order to make the right decisions and conduct efficiently all kind of process.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing green technology (greentech) by creating a network of interconnected devices that monitor and optimize resource use. Imagine smart thermostats that adjust heating based on weather or occupancy, or sensors in fields that pinpoint areas needing irrigation. This data allows for real-time adjustments, reducing energy waste and water consumption. IoT also empowers renewable energy sources like solar and wind by integrating them into smart grids, balancing supply and demand for a more reliable clean energy system. By working together, IoT and greentech are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
