Enova leads digital transformation as enhanced online analytics suite makes WETEX debut

Dubai - MENA Herald:

A smartphone app that relies on big data and harnesses its potential to help businesses boost their environmental performance is among innovations being launched today at trade fair WETEX 2017.

Enova, the Middle East’s leading Energy & Facilities Management specialist, will present its game-changing digital suite, which uses advanced data gathering and analytics to boost operational and financial efficiency.

“We are witnessing a period of rapid disruption that promises to transform the way businesses and governments control the use of water, energy and other precious resources, as well as their management of waste and recycling,” said Anne Le Guennec, Chief Executive Officer at the company.

“To stay on top of this evolution, we have leveraged the power of mobile applications, big data, and the Internet of Things to optimize processes and drive performance.”

The Enova by Veolia smartphone app gives clients 24-hour access to real-time data on Energy & Facilities Management services through user-friendly features such as automatic status updates and instant task reporting.

A second app, Enova Smart Waste App, or Eswap, enables clients to quickly and efficiently check, track, and manage their waste management procedures. This allows users to log refuse streams received from tenants and sent back out for recycling through barcode scanning. Data from the Eswap is captured and plotted into the interactive ‘Waste Dashboard’, which presents it in a graphical, user-friendly format. The combination of both tools allows the optimization of recycling rates produced by a facility, thus improving the client’s environmental footprint and overall performance.

Enova’s digital suite includes a series of customizable dashboards – software that displays real-time information on energy, water, and waste on computer monitors or television screens and thus enables flexible analysis. The presentation of the data in a graphical, user-friendly form helps one visualize key performance indicators and trends at a glance.

The company has custom-built such a system for Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates Hotel. Tailored to the hospitality sector, yet potentially applicable within many other industries, the program allows transparent real-time monitoring. Both technical staff and facility managers can use it to track operational KPIs to take immediate decisions to optimize performance and increase the guests’ well-being. Potentially, it could also be used to encourage guests to take active steps towards leading ‘greener’ lifestyles.

Paul Dunphy, General Manager – Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates Hotel, said: “Enova’s unique offering helps us hit our sustainability targets and save time and money simultaneously. The dashboard is a user-friendly and clear tool tailored to the needs of our operations team. It allows us to deliver the healthiest and most comfortable environment to our guests. Enova listened to our needs and came up with a smart and efficient solution. We have found a strong proactive partner in Enova and are looking forward to building on this cooperation in the future.”

Le Guennec explained: “Managers, data analysts and technicians on the ground can share information instantly and, with our 24-hour helpdesk support, devise fast and effective solutions.”

Global proof of the high quality of Enova’s solutions is the number of ISO certifications it holds. Enova has just acquired its fifth accreditation from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 55001:2014 for Asset Management – the most recent milestone in a series of successful applications and renewals. It also holds the latest environmental management and quality management certifications – ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015, respectively. In addition, both its ISO 50001:2011 for Energy Management and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for Occupational Health and Safety were recently renewed.

On a local level, Enova was the first energy service company to be accredited by Dubai’s Regulatory and Supervisory Bureau (RSB).

“Greater transparency results in a better end-user experience, and these certifications are a testament to Enova’s commitment to providing high-quality, efficient and reliable services,” Le Guennec added.

“The level of feedback and engagement delivered by our latest digital tools is powerfully motivational, fostering the teamwork needed to meet the most stringent of standards. As an early adopter of smart energy and data analysis software, we aim to apply digital best practices across the board and set an example for others to follow.”

WETEX 2017 runs from October 23 to 25 at Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre. Enova will be based at Booth CE09, in Hall 6, from 10am to 6pm daily. For further information, visit www.enova-me.com and www.wetex.ae
