1. Sustainable and cost-effective energy management.

Digitization offers numerous benefits for companies looking to optimize their energy management. From solar power and energy shares to charging stations and batteries, digital tools such as my.Odot enable accurate measurements and in-depth data analysis. This results in increased efficiency and better control over energy consumption and production.

2. Accurate estimation of solar efficiency.

A crucial aspect of solar energy management is accurately estimating production and consumption. The number of solar panels and their orientation play a major role, but it is also essential to accurately calculate local consumption. my.Odot provides detailed insight into consumption and production profiles, allowing for an objective understanding of the efficiency of your solar panels. Thanks to our advanced simulation tools, we can make highly accurate simulations of your potential auto-consumption in advance. As Jan Luyckx, Energy Analyst at Odot, explains, "An accurate autoconsumption estimate is essential for maximizing solar efficiency."

3. Maximum value from solar surplus.

With an in-house consumption of, say, 80%, there are several options to maximize returns from the remaining 20%, such as energy shares or an injection contract. Chris Elbers, CEO of Odot, stresses the importance of matching profiles with the right tools to determine exactly how much volume can be redistributed via energy shares. Odot can accurately match these profiles, allowing companies to make informed decisions about redistributing their energy surpluses.

4. Optimization of charging stations.

With the right tools and expertise, charging stations can be transformed into profitable models. my.Odot helps companies identify the exact cost and revenue of each kWh. This enables companies to effectively manage the power made available to charging stations, which has a positive impact on grid costs. my.Odot provides the basic insights needed to determine correct pricing at public charging stations, contributing to cost-efficient and profitable charging station management.

5. The power of digitization in energy management.

Manually managing complex hardware and associated data has become virtually impossible. Digitization offers a solution by automating measurements, integrating data and generating new insights. With my.Odot, companies can develop strategies to reduce costs and improve efficiency. "At Odot, we have long invested in combining the right data streams into easy-to-use software and deep integration of AI to make advanced analytics accessible to companies," says Anya Kussé, Director of Operations & IT at Odot. Thanks to our digital tools, companies can manage the complexity of their energy management and develop an optimal energy strategy.

One of our success stories: Significant cost savings with my.Odot.

An example of the impact of my.Odot can be seen with one of our customers. This customer had originally been proposed a power of 800 kW by the grid operator for their high-voltage cabin. Through our detailed analysis and action, we discovered that this customer's peaks were up to 90 kW. We reduced the proposed power to 100 kW, resulting in significant cost savings. Thanks to our approach, this customer saved as much as 21,168 euros over a 12-month period.

⚡ Total savings: 21,168 euros (year 2024)

Conclusion.

Digitalization plays a crucial role in modern energy management. My.Odot provides companies with the tools they need to optimize their energy consumption and operate more sustainably and cost-effectively. Through accurate measurements, data analysis and advanced simulations, my.Odot makes it possible to maximize the efficiency of solar power, charging stations and energy surplus. At Odot, we remain committed to providing innovative solutions that help companies stay futureproof in a rapidly changing energy market.
