Solid background but future-oriented
In 1993 talking about energy management was not a priority for many companies
and energy meters were used mainly as stand-alone devices.
Electrex instead focused its energies and resources in developing advanced devices
that were not just kWh counters but flexible, multipurpose devices (meter and controller).
Founding year
1993
Since 26 years Electrex supports any type of organization to achieve higher standards
in energy efficiency and energy automation.

PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
Where to use Electrex’s products and solutions - 1
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - The Electrex monitoring and management solutions are used in the Energy Efficiency and Energy
Automation applications. Electrex systems are modular and can expand over time thanks to the multiple connection
possibilities of the devices: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, RS485, E-Wi, WM-Bus, ExpBus, NFC. With a single system (with data
synchronization) it is possible to monitor and manage all the energy vectors (electricity, gas, water, etc.),
the environmental parameters related to them (temperature, humidity, luminosity, CO2, etc.) the process
parameters (compressed air, calories, level, status, etc.), and the operating times.
POWER QUALITY - Reliability and consistency of electricity supply is one of the most important conditions for the
activities of industrial and service companies. Problems originating from poor Power Quality include interruptions, dips or
harmonic pollution. Therefore the loads connected to a network with such problems will fail, have a short lifetime and
the efficiency of the system will decrease. Power Quality problems are a major source of:
Unexpected Business Downtime and Equipment Malfunction and Damage.
RENEWABLE SOURCES AND DIRECT CURRENT SYSTEMS - The growing role of DC systems will also drive the demand
for monitoring and controlling solutions. In particular, Electrex sees opportunities for direct current measurement
systems in electric vehicle charging stations, in power generation systems (renewables), data centres / server
farms, micro-grids and in peer-to-peer energy sharing.
ENERGY COST CENTERS ANALYSIS - Measurement-based energy audits represent a great opportunity for companies. The
usefulness of these tools is represented by the possibility of identifying the most relevant energy cost centers in their
sites and therefore of increasing their energy efficiency through targeted investments.
ENERGY AUTOMATION - With Energy Automation in Electrex we mean the interconnection of machines and
systems within company processes, with the aim of managing them better thanks to the Energy Automation functions.
In the Electrex devices of the Net series it is possible to implement these Energy Automation functions by ordering, if
they are not already enabled, the Net upgrade activation codes (PUKs). This upgrades the device with the “energy PLC”
functionality, giving you the ability to provide specific solutions of energy automation to the Industrial, Commercial and
Public Administration sectors.
REMOTE MONITORING AND REMOTE MANAGEMENT - The Electrex monitoring and management systems can help
systems and processes to remain operational by continuously monitoring of machinery (digital twin) and the possibility of
having a remote overview of the plants. Data from machines and systems can be collected in real-time, analyzed and
managed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Where to use Electrex’s products and solutions - 2
PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE AND ANOMALIES CONTROL - This is a management modality in which, thanks to the
continuous acquisition of data, it is possible to manage maintenance knowing the real operating conditions of the
machine. In this way, interventions are no longer at regular intervals, but based on the actual operating conditions and
before the occurrence of failures, significantly lowering repair costs.
To know the state of health of the machine, it is necessary to monitor it by using sensors that provide parameters related
to the operation of the machine (e.g. vibrations, electrical anomalies, noise, etc.).
INTERCONNECTED MACHINES - With modest investments and low invasiveness, new machines (OEM) can be built or
existing ones can be revamped by integrating new technologies with existing systems in order to:
•Quantify and manage energy to reduce its impact on the final cost of the product
•Optimize production management by remotely controlling the machines via mobile devices (tablet, smart-phone, etc.)
•Better manage the use of energy
•Get real time notifications in order to avoid down times
•Apply predictive maintenance policies
DIGITIZATION AND INTERCONNECTION - The digitization of business processes improve the resilience of companies .
The Electrex IoE platform allows you to privilege the use of digital, amplifying remote management methods and
interconnection between plants and systems: Industry 4.0 production plants, HVAC , ERP, MES, BI, BIM, and more …
IOE – INTERNET OF ENERGY - With the acronym IoE (Internet of Energy) in Electrex we mean the application of the IoT to
the world of energy and energy efficiency.
Electrex IoE is a digital platform through which it is possible to control and manage plants and buildings, which combines
the aspects of Monitoring and Energy Automation, in which Electrex has been the market leader for years, with the
possibility of interacting in real time with different devices using the possibilities offered by IoT systems.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND PROCESS PARAMETERS - With a single system it is possible to monitor and manage all the
environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, brightness, CO2, etc.) and the process parameters (compressed air,
calories, level, status, etc.) which are always strictly correlated with energy consumption.
AIR QUALITY - The Electrex Sensing Solutions allow you to monitor key environmental parameters such as Particle /
Particulate Material / Fine Dust (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4, PM10), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), CO2, temperature,
humidity and differential air pressure with the ability to create notifications / alarms, control HVAC (Heating, Ventilation
and Air Conditioning) systems and managing energy consumption in a sustainable way.
