IoT is changing our world every day. The foundation for networked smart process automation during this revolution is paved with intelligent edge devices, empowering the transformation of data into insight.  Nowadays labor cost increase and manpower shortage have been an increasing challenge to all global retail chain store owners, who still rely on manpower to manage numerous complicated backend equipments, such as freezer, air conditioning, lighting, and power system that support store operation and business is not realistically time-efficient and cost-effective.


To solve this paint point, Novakon has developed an IoT Energy Management Platform, which is recently selected by Intel as one of the approved Intel® IoT RFP Ready Kits listed in Intel Solutions Marketplace now. The IoT energy management platform is an integrated and proven solution that works as a backend facility for monitoring and managing parameters in intelligent retail environments.


The platform leverages the Intel® Pentium® QC N4200-based IBASE* OFP-151-PC-NVK open-frame 15-inch panel PC and Novakon iFACE Designer software as a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System) management solution. It displays real-time status of equipment such as freezer, air conditioning, lighting system and power meter, and serves as a communication bridge between sensors and the cloud to instantly transmit equipment operating status, event and alarm messages through email or LINE App in order to optimize overall power consumption and avoid down-time.


*iBASE, the parent company of Novakon Co. Ltd., a renowned public listed industrial PC manufacturer in Taiwan.
