Generator & UPS Monitoring

Generators and UPS (uninterruptible power source) systems are key components of many businesses and sites and are vital for their day-to-day operations. Generator and UPS monitoring is therefore a critical aspect of managing and ensuring the reliability of backup power systems in various settings, ranging from data centres and hospitals to industrial facilities and critical infrastructure.

Generator Monitoring 

By continuously monitoring a generator’s performance, for engine status, fuel levels and battery health, we can ensure optimal condition of the generator to provide power when required. Tracking and monitoring fuel levels will also help to prevent unexpected generator shutdowns by prompting timely refuelling in order to maintain uninterrupted power supply during outages. 

Our monitoring team can also remotely start and stop generators, as needed, providing ultimate flexibility and efficiency when managing power resources. In addition, any maintenance issues can be detected and swiftly fixed remotely whenever possible, or an engineer visit can be scheduled. 

UPS Monitoring 

UPS systems rely on batteries to provide backup power during outages. Therefore we monitor battery health, charge status and capacity to ensure a site’s UPS can continue to function during emergencies. We also carry out load monitoring, ensuring the UPS is operating within its capacity limits, which is crucial for preventing overloads that could lead to system failure. Our NSI-Gold approved monitoring centre provides real-time alerts for events such as power fluctuations, overloads and system faults so that sites can respond rapidly to each situation. 

Benefits of Generator & UPS Monitoring

There are several benefits of generator and UPS monitoring that act as a proactive approach to managing backup power systems. 

• Reduced risk of unexpected failures during critical times
• Early detection of issues
• Minimise downtime during power outages, ensuring continuous operations
• Improve efficiencies and response times
• Gain insights into power consumption patterns to optimise allocation of power resources
• Improve longevity of generator and UPS systems

How Much Does Generator & UPS Monitoring Cost?

The cost of generator and UPS monitoring can vary widely based on several factors, including the scale and complexity of the monitored infrastructure, as well as the remote monitoring features required of a site. A worthwhile investment, generator and UPS monitoring can provide long-term benefits and potential cost savings from the prevented downtime and optimise system performance.
