Blue Pillar’s Aurora® Energy Network of Things™ Platform Receives 2015 IoT Excellence Award
Frederick, MD (PRWEB) February 18, 2016 -- Blue Pillar, provider of the world’s first self-configurable Energy Network of Things platform that connects and controls distributed energy assets, announced today that its Aurora platform has received a 2015 IoT Excellence Award. The IoT Evolution IoT Excellence Award honors innovative products that support the availability of information being deduced, inferred and directly gathered from sensors, systems and anything else that supports better business decisions. It is awarded by IoT Evolution magazine, the leading publication covering IoT technologies.
Blue Pillar’s Aurora Energy Network of Things platform has received several honors in the last four months, earning the IoT Evolution 2015 IoT Smart Machines Innovation Award, two Golden Bridge Energy Industry Innovation of the Year Awards, Energy Manager Today Top Product of the Year, and placing in the Global Cleantech 100 and the Deloitte Technology Fast 500.
“Blue Pillar’s Aurora Energy Network of Things platform continues to be recognized within the cleantech, energy and IoT communities for its innovative approach and unparalleled ability to securely connect and control distributed energy assets regardless of make, model or vintage,” said Tom Willie, CEO of Blue Pillar. “We are in the midst of an IoT revolution and no other company has been able to provide our level of secure connectivity and control behind-the-meter in the energy or facilities management space. Our unique and valuable IoT approach is being leveraged by Facilities of the Future™ in their pursuit of becoming more energy efficient, resilient and self-sufficient.”
With a 400% growth in behind-the-meter distributed generation in just the last five years, Blue Pillar’s Aurora Energy Network of Things platform provides this much-needed, ubiquitous connectivity and control of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) from solar, wind, microturbines and fuel cells to conventional natural gas-fired CHP and multi-vendor legacy assets such as meters. Before, this could only have been accomplished through highly expensive, time consuming, and custom system integrations that were open to security vulnerabilities. Blue Pillar self-prescribes a secure, self-configurable approach that avoids siloed networks, stranded assets and expensive point solutions. With this approach, Aurora has completely disrupted the energy management industry by successfully connecting thousands of multi-vendor and legacy assets and allowing facilities, energy service providers and utilities to more easily and cost-effectively reach their aggressive energy management goals.
“It is my pleasure to recognize the Aurora Energy Network of Things platform with a 2015 IoT Excellence Award for its excellence in innovation,” said Carl Ford, CEO & Community Developer, Crossfire Media. “As a leader in this rapidly evolving industry, I look forward to seeing Blue Pillar’s future successes.
