In an age where data is critical to performance, sustainability and compliance, being locked out of your own energy usage data shouldn’t even be an option. Yet many organisations find themselves restricted by closed systems, proprietary software, and vendor-specific hardware — unable to access or fully utilise the data they’ve paid to collect.
At Elcomponent, we take a different view.
We believe energy data should be open, accessible and usable — without limitations. That’s why our energy monitoring systems are built on standard, non-proprietary protocols, giving you full ownership of your metering infrastructure and the freedom to adapt as your needs evolve.
Why Open Protocols Matter
Choosing an open standards-based energy monitoring system is about more than just avoiding frustration — it’s about future-proofing your investment. When systems are locked into one brand or platform, you lose flexibility. You’re tied to one supplier for upgrades, expansions, and even basic access to data.
With Elcomponent, you can expect:
• Full visibility of your data
• Seamless integration with third-party platforms
• Straightforward upgrades and system expansions
• Freedom to change providers or platforms without penalty
• Confidence in a future-proofed solution
From manufacturing plants to multi-site estates, our clients appreciate having energy monitoring systems that evolve with their business — not against it.
Flexible Integration That Fits You
Whether you want to use our own platform (MW2), export to a central BMS, or plug directly into your preferred analytics dashboard, we make sure your data is:
• Clean
• Structured
• Compatible
Our systems are designed with integration in mind, giving energy managers, engineers, and sustainability leads the tools they need to make fast, informed decisions — without the barriers of proprietary formats or locked hardware.
Transparency and Reliability You Can Trust
We’ve been in the energy monitoring business for over 40 years — and we’ve seen the pitfalls of locked systems first-hand. That’s why we’ve built our entire approach around transparency and flexibility.
From sub-metering to LoRaWAN deployments and large-scale rollouts, every Elcomponent system is engineered to:
• Deliver reliable, accurate data
• Avoid unnecessary duplication or vendor limitations
• Support open communication protocols (Modbus, M-Bus, BACnet and more)
• Empower users to control their infrastructure — not just rent access to it
No Lock-In. Just Long-Term Value.
With Elcomponent, you’re not buying into a closed ecosystem — you’re investing in long-term value. We’re here to deliver future-ready, non-proprietary solutions that give you confidence, clarity and control over your energy use.
Whether you're starting fresh or replacing a legacy system that’s no longer serving you, we’ll help you build a smarter, more open energy strategy.
