Inala Technologies Pty Ltd
Energy in Midrand

The effective management of such assets via local monitoring, measurement and control improves uptime, optimizes asset efficiency, manages operational risks and reduces operational expenditure. Designed for use in extremely challenging environments across multiple sectors, the platform is adaptable and includes features to manage virtually any set of distributed energy infrastructure assets. All three models have the same set of feature-rich firmware functions. The Inala Pro and Lite models are typically used with a number of connected peripherals and sensors, whereas the Inala Compact model is typically used in configurations where only serial/IP links to connected peripherals are required. High reliability: All components have been designed for use in emerging markets and harsh remote locations, and have passed laboratory tests under demanding temperature, humidity, vibration and transport simulations. Connectivity: Supports multiple flexible inputs and outputs which facilitate the monitoring and control of a wide range of equipment, as well as open interfaces to permit rapid integration with third-party systems (including Ethernet, IP to Serial pass-through and serial RTU MODBUS master). Site management: Includes features to manage all communications, power and environmental aspects of a site, including intelligent communications with local peripherals (serial/IP). Equipment management: Includes integrated functions to manage typical distributed energy infrastructure assets including diesel generators, renewables, fuel tanks, fuel cells, energy storage systems, security systems, environmental control systems, metering systems, and others. Rapid installation: All aspects of the Inala site monitoring platform are designed to facilitate rapid and efficient in field deployment (for both new and retrofit sites). Remotely upgradeable: The firmware for all components is remotely upgradeable. Communications failover: Industry leading, field proven failover algorithm which ensures best-in-class connection uptime. Hybrid control: Supports comprehensive hybrid control functions, including the ability to manage up to two redundant generators, two fuel tanks and two battery banks. I/O expansion units: I/O expansion units are available for connection to the system in order to expand the number of supported inputs and outputs. Inala site analytics is a state-of-the-art enterprise software platform which facilitates the efficient centralized management of a multitude of distributed energy infrastructure assets through their entire life-cycle. The effective management of distributed energy infrastructure assets results in increased uptime and more efficient resource use, ultimately leading to significant cost savings. Designed by an expert team, with over a century of experience, Inala Site Analytics is field-proven remote monitoring and control solution, designed to meet the day-to-day challenges faced by fleet operators, utilities, carriers, tower operating companies, and industrial process operators when managing their estate of remote assets. By combining advanced monitoring and control along with cutting-edge data analytic techniques, the Inala platform enables operators of remote assets to drastically reduce operating costs, improve up-time and evolve their investment as demands change over time. An Inala intelligent controller is installed at each remote asset and connected to the equipment that is to be monitored or controlled, using a variety of sensors. Monitor: Data, as well as alerts and alarms, are sent from remote assets to a central server. If required, and filtered by severity and escalation path, information can also be sent via e-mail and SMS, allowing operations staff to stay on top of performance, no matter where they are. Operations staff can predict maintenance, service and refuelling requirements more accurately, and therefore schedule timely intervention, maximising asset up time, and reducing operating costs. Control: Supporting remote control of a broad range of asset types, the Inala platform ensures optimum operation is maintained. Generators, chillers, compressors, process input and output, and other assets can be operated remotely from a control room, allowing start and stop, mode change, or on/off commands. A wide variety of problems can be solved without the need for an expensive site visit and preparedness for any catastrophic event is maintained.
