ENBED’s Smart Electrical Outlet/Socket Solution (SEOS) is an enabler for novel digitalized services within smart buildings. These socket outlets can perform plug-load management and can provide new energy services.

Provisioned with instant plug-load identification mechanism, real-time control (on/off), and real-time electrical monitoring (voltage, current, power, energy,…), SEOS provides high-fidelity intelligence to building controls. Coupled with its software infrastructure, SEOS can uniquely identify billions of plugged-in loads and can correspondingly map manufacturer’s information, electrical ratings, ownership, cost, health history – a plethora of metadata. Digitalization of these provide plug-load energy management solutions, demand response mechanisms, inventorying solutions, and unprecedented digital services suitable for a Smart Nation.

This cyber-physical system brings Industry 4.0 and Grid 2.0 nearer to reality. Not only it improves life-style, but also reduces the electricity bill by managing plug-loads, since they consume 25%-50% of a building’s energy. Additionally, SEOS can monitor utilization of plugged in assets of organizations and mitigate electronic waste, thus making SEOS a doubly green technology.
