Industrial facilities around the world are facing unprecedented energy challenges around rising energy costs and carbon reduction goals.

Our Nsight Energy Intensity Platform is a market-leading SaaS platform which integrates IoT devices and control systems in the field with cloud-based systems. Nsight brings together all of this data to accelerate the energy transition for our industrial customers.
