<h1>New patented edge controller boosts energy efficiency, ESG reporting and sustainability monitoring across commercial, industrial and public infrastructure</h1> An automation company has introduced a patented controller device designed for use in commercial buildings, data centres, industrial plants, and public infrastructure, aiming to optimize energy consumption and enhance environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes. The controller eliminates complex wiring by deploying intelligence at the edge, runs generative intelligence locally, and provides real-time, adaptive operational responses. It offers organizations enhanced monitoring of water usage, sustainability metrics, and renewable resource efficiency, which may support regulatory compliance, ESG reporting, and energy-efficiency obligations. The launch demonstrates growing domestic innovation in infrastructure technology, a field historically dominated by foreign entities, potentially affecting market competition, technology licensing, and standard-setting in India's infrastructure and sustainability sectors.
