The energy management project encompasses many different facilities such as public buildings, swimming pools, industrial plants, and even street lighting. It involves over 22,000 tags, and nearly 600 devices and 50 clients, and those numbers continue to grow.The size of the project presented many challenges. There were a large number of prospective users, all of whom needed access to the system without it being installed at each client.

Also, the software had to be flexible enough to grow with the system as new installations were added. Cofely needed a SCADA solution that would give their customers the ability to analyze all their real-time and historical energy data, and would also be cost-effective and scalable.
