All details about CyberHub PlantOPT
Load balancing
Sequencing the available resources in a rational manner based on the plant configuration, user demand, and operating conditions is essential to efficiently meet refrigeration demands while ensuring necessary redundancy.

Increased freecooling
If the environmental conditions allow it, a start-up sequence is determined that utilises free cooling resources at maximum capacity. This strategy decreases the number of compressors in operation, increasing the efficiency of the system.

Pump management
The precise management of the primary and secondary pumping circuit, even with variable flow solutions, ensures a stable flow to the units and guarantees an adequate ΔT (temperature difference) thanks to direct control of the circuit pressure.

Full Control
The developed architecture ensures interaction between the secondary utilities and the hydronic system serving them (chillers, pumps, valves, dry coolers), in order to create a single system that aims to maximize performance while maintaining service continuity and avoiding overlaps and duplications of functions.

No single point of failure
CyberHub PlantOPT is designed to ensure the continuity of production, distribution, and use of thermal energy even in the partial or even total absence of field control.
Diagnostics
CyberHub PlantOPT constantly detects operational data from each individual device through dedicated sensors and serial interface channels. Thanks to this comparison under different operating conditions, it creates the possibility to adapt control strategies by evaluating the actual load conditions.

Alarm Manager
It is possible to configure distinct limit values for notifications with different levels of urgency, and with dedicated transmissions based on competency. This automation ensures careful management of anomalies, contributing to the reliability of the service.

Energy Report
Programmed generation of energy reports that provide the key data of the units and the entire system, allowing for an immediate understanding of the actual performance and usage condition of the system.

Monitoring
The graphical interface makes all key information easily accessible, such as operating states, control variables, and critical alarms, in order to meet the needs of both expert users, such as maintenance personnel or energy managers who need to easily find all the detailed information they require, as well as less experienced users who still want to easily visualize the system status.

Data Analysis
A dedicated page for consulting preconfigured and customisable graphs allows you to view the trend over time of the main operating variables, allowing precise analysis of the plant's operating history.
Preventive Maintenance
With the use of an advanced diagnostic model, designed to convert the amount of data collected into information necessary for a better understanding of the performance level of the refrigeration system, the scheduling of different maintenance levels will no longer be a problem.
