PowerLogic ION Enterprise™

Functions and characteristics

PowerLogic™ ION Enterprise™ software is a complete power management solution
for utility, industrial or commercial operations. Engineering and management
personnel can cut energy-related costs, avoid downtime, and optimise equipment
operations by using the information provided by PowerLogic ION Enterprise
software. PowerLogic ION Enterprise also enables tracking of real-time power
conditions, analysis of power quality and reliability, and quick response to alarms to
avoid critical situations. The software forms a layer of energy intelligence across your

facility, campus, service area, or your entire enterprise, acting as a unied interface

to all electrical and piped utilities.
