Home / Energy monitoring & Connected Estate
Fit one or fit them all

One SIM on site. Every unit connected. One portal.

Every Technik2 controller is built on the same UK-designed board and joins the same site network — so the cellar, kitchen, boiler and air con all report to one screen, for one site or a thousand.

The portal

See everything. Change anything.

Live temperatures, duty cycles, kWh day, week and year, pounds avoided, cleaning records and alarms — per cellar, per brand, or hottest first.

  • Weather-corrected — duty judged against each site's own outside temperature, so a hot week never looks like a fault.
  • Change bands and timings for one site or the whole group, written back over Modbus and logged against a name.
  • Export it — CSV for your energy team, cleaning records for your brewer, and an API for your own platform.

Illustrative data.

Live metering dashboard

Every kWh, logged and charted

Both screenshots come from one live T2 Optical Meter over the same seven days — nothing is keyed in.

Preventative maintenance

Maintenance flagged before it fails

Every controller learns its asset's normal behaviour. Duty is then compared with that healthy baseline at the same outside temperature. Sites move from On track to Watch to Service due — so the engineer goes on evidence, before it becomes a stock loss.

Cellar coolers

Icing evaporator, low gas, dirty condenser or a door left open.

Walk-in coolers

Icing, dirty condenser, worn door seal — measured, not estimated.

Remote beer coolers

A pump losing flow, a python losing insulation or a cooler losing capacity.

Line cleaning

Amber on the due day, red at two days overdue when quality is at risk.

Works with what you already have

Integrates with your existing systems

No rip-and-replace. Technik2 fits alongside the plant, building controls and energy software you already use, so your data ends up where your team already works.

Your existing equipment

Retrofits to the cellar coolers, beer coolers, boilers, air con and kitchen kit already on site. Reads existing controllers such as Eliwell and Modbus air-con units.

Your BMS

Connects to your building management system over standard building protocols such as Modbus, so Technik2 data and control sit alongside everything else you monitor.

Your energy platform

Feeds readings into third-party energy management platforms and energy bureaus, so your consultants and suppliers see the same figures you do.

Your own reporting

CSV export and an API let your energy, finance or ESG team pull every reading into their own reports and BI tools.

Energy monitoring suite

See where every kWh goes — on one dashboard

From a single optical reader on the incoming meter to three-phase and single-phase monitors on individual circuits, every Technik2 monitor reports to the same live dashboard as your controllers.

T2 Optical Meter

Non-invasive single-meter monitoring

An optical probe fixes over the pulse LED of the existing electricity meter — no electrician, no CTs, no isolation. It logs as often as every ten seconds and uploads hourly, with weeks of backlog if the network drops.

  • Half-hourly profiles for tariff analysis
  • Live dashboard: power now to since install
  • Gas and water pulse outputs on the same inputs
  • Battery option where there's no socket

Three-phase & single-phase monitoring

Permanent energy monitoring on any circuit

Three-phase monitors for kitchens, plant rooms and incoming supplies; single-phase monitors for individual circuits and appliances. Every monitor joins the same RS485 trunk as the controllers and reports to the same dashboard — so you can see exactly where the energy goes, site by site.

  • 3-phase monitoring for incoming supplies, kitchens and plant
  • Single-phase monitoring for individual circuits and appliances
  • kWh, kW, amps, volts and power factor
  • Half-hourly profiles show standing load and peaks
  • Before-and-after proof of every saving
  • CSV export and API for your energy team

Expansion units

Inputs and outputs where the plant is

One brain per site, with the switching and sensing placed next to the plant. Each expansion unit carries relays and inputs, joins over LoRa or RS485, and appears on the gateway's screen.

  • Smart Heat expansion: 4 probes, 3 × 10 A relays
  • 8-relay board for lighting, fans, pumps
  • Add a unit from the gateway screen — no SIM, no survey
  • Lose the link and the asset reverts to its own controls

What a fully connected site looks like

Cellar

Cellar Manager V2 — or Plus with the airflow fan — as the gateway unit with the site's one SIM.

Bar

Remote Optimiser per cooler, Smart Postmix Timer, Fridge Manager, Bio Fobs and Drop Lines.

Kitchen

Walk-In Energy Manager per walk-in with door sensing, and the EMS panel on the cooking line.

Line cleaning

Plant room

Smart Heat on the boiler, Hot Water Tank Manager on the immersion, Air Con Controller.

Metering

T2 Optical Meter on the incoming meter, plus 3-phase or single-phase monitors on key circuits.
