The Challenges Faced by Woodie’s

Woodie’s, like many retailers, was struggling to identify high-energy consumption assets and electricity usage patterns, preventing them from implementing cost-saving measures to reduce the impact of escalating energy costs. Lastly, the absence of continuous monitoring meant sites were vulnerable to undetected anomalies, leading to higher energy costs and maintenance challenges.

The Power of Collaboration

 ETS effectively navigated the challenges faced by Woodie’s by harnessing the unique advantages offered by both the EpiSensor IoT solutions and the Spacewell Energy intelligence platform. EpiSensor’s hardware provided accurate and real-time data insights, empowering ETS to conduct real-time monitoring, review granular data analysis, and generate valuable insights. Simultaneously, the Spacewell Energy platform facilitated additional capabilities, including automated alerts and notifications, as well as benchmarking and comparison. This collaborative approach enabled ETS to substantially enhance energy efficiency and cost-saving results for Woodie’s.

Programme-critical components included:

• Accurate, Real-Time Data:  EpiSensor’s hardware facilitated the provision of accurate and real-time energy data, enabling ETS and Woodie’s to rapidly address energy anomalies.
• Data Visualisation: Leveraging data extracted from EpiSensor’s API-enabled Gateways and Spacewell Energy’s platform, ETS performed data analysis and produced comprehensive management reports regarding energy consumption patterns. From there, ETS identified energy-saving opportunities, enabling Woodie’s to prioritise investments, and make informed decisions regarding operational changes.
• Site-Specific Alerts: Configured site-specific alerts, utilising the real-time data from EpiSensor’s meters, enabled site leads to promptly identify anomalies or deviations from established benchmarks, helping to avoid unnecessary costs.
• Reduced Site-Visits: The deployment of EpiSensor’s meters and sensors, coupled with the energy management system’s overall enhanced efficiency, led to a decrease in site visits and ongoing maintenance for Woodie’s, critical in the context of retail.

Setting New Standards of Excellence in Retail Energy Management

The implementation of EpiSensor’s smart energy monitoring solution, in collaboration with ETS and Spacewell Energy, not only addressed the immediate challenges faced by Woodie’s but also laid the groundwork for a sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible energy management strategy. The real-time monitoring and data analysis capabilities provided by our solution have empowered ETS to achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency and cost savings for Woodie’s, setting a new standard for energy management in the retail industry. This success highlights our commitment to supporting partners like ETS in delivering innovative solutions for enhanced energy management.
