Find hidden energy waste for cost savings

New webinar recording shows how facilities teams can identify waste, uncover equipment issues, and improve performance.

Are you looking for ways to turn your industrial energy data into real bottom-line, business results?

Many facilities collect huge amounts of OT (operational technology) data, but it stays siloed or under utilized.

Watch and listen to a recent webinar hosted by Opto 22's Rene Gamero and Alex Agnello from OptoPartner True Data Ops (TDO). See how a simple plug-and-play solution can help you start collecting and sharing data for cost savings and better decision making.

Energy waste is hiding in plain sight—open doors, misused HVAC, equipment left running, lights on after hours, and systems that do not behave the way facility teams expect.

In this webinar, Alex and Rene demonstrate how TDO software running on Opto 22 groov products is helping McDonalds' facilities identify where energy is going, predict waste, and turn operational data into practical fixes.

You’ll also see how the same approach is being used in a 23-story downtown Boston building, where 3-axis vibration sensors are helping predict poor pump and motor performance before it becomes a bigger problem.

Designed for facilities managers, this session shows how smarter edge data can reduce waste, improve reliability, and make everyday building problems easier to find and solve. 

 

Thanks for watching!
