Hardware & Metering

Compatible with any metering technology.
No replacement. No retrofitting.

Alligator Analytica connects to your existing infrastructure – whether it's 20-year-old meters or the latest IoT sensors. And if new metering equipment makes sense, we advise you independently and impartially.

Our Approach

What you have, we use.
What's missing, we add.

Most companies already have metering equipment in the field – main meters, production meters, building management systems. We connect these sources without replacing anything.

Where data gaps exist – for example at machine level or for certain energy types – we work with you to develop a supplementary measurement concept. We are vendor-neutral and select the most cost-effective solution.

  • ✓ Existing meters & systems are integrated
  • ✓ Supplementary metering selected vendor-neutrally
  • ✓ Installation by certified partners
  • ✓ Measurement concept documented ISO 50001-compliant

Energy Types

All energy types. One platform.

From electricity, gas and heat to compressed air and water – we capture all relevant energy types in your company.

Electricity

Active energy (kWh), reactive energy, power (kW), load profiles, harmonics. Directly from meters or via clamp-on measurement.

Natural Gas & Heat

Gas flow, heat quantities, temperatures. Connection of heat meters, gas analysers and boiler systems.

Compressed Air

Pressure level, flow rate, specific energy demand. Leak detection via consumption patterns. Compressor monitoring.

Water

Water consumption in production, cooling and buildings. Leak detection, flow rate and temperature.

Cooling & Air Conditioning

COP monitoring, cooling consumption, temperature profiles. For production cooling, server rooms and air conditioning systems.

Renewables & Own Generation

PV self-consumption, CHP monitoring, feed-in data. Calculate self-consumption rate and degree of energy autonomy.

Communication Protocols

Every language your plant speaks

We support all common industrial communication protocols – connecting directly wherever possible, without gateways or converters.

Measurement Concept

From data gaps to
complete transparency

Many companies have main meters but no transparency at process or machine level. A structured measurement concept closes these gaps in a targeted and cost-effective way.
