If you’ve been to events like CEDIA Expo and Lightapalooza recently, you’ve seen how power/energy management is proliferating in the industry. Apex Technologies is right on top of the trend, announcing its latest innovation, which it previewed at this year’s Lightapalooza: The Apex Power Hub.
The specialty distributor enthuses that this compact, network-connected power management solution provides integrators with valuable real-time insight into and control over the power infrastructures of customers’ homes via an intuitive web-based interface.
Solution Supports Control of Multiple UPS Options
“Disturbance-free, regulated power is the backbone of high-performance technology installations, and we’re redefining how integrators manage it with the introduction of this game-changing monitoring tool,” says Vince Luciani, power products specialist at Apex Technologies-US.
“The Power Hub eliminates guesswork by delivering actionable data, intelligent automation, and seamless integration into existing control systems.”
The Apex Power Hub is said to generate real-time power quality data and enable seamless control and automation of rack-mounted UPS devices from Innovolt and large-format UPS solutions from 360 Power Quality, as well as the expanding line of IP-addressable Expert Power Control PDUs from Gude Systems.
