CKW Energy Business Platform
A complete digital transformation of energy management. CKW's platform combines digital twin technology, smart analytics, and integrated billing to revolutionize how energy and water costs are managed and allocated.
When CKW set out to modernize energy and water cost allocation (ZEV and VEWA), speed to market was critical. NOUMENA's platform enabled CKW to move from concept to production faster than traditional development approaches would allow, securing a crucial first-mover advantage. But speed was not the only benefit: the platform's robust architecture ensures that complex energy calculations, tenant billing, and regulatory compliance all work together seamlessly, even as requirements evolve.
Key Highlights
- Rapid MVP to production deployment
- Critical first-mover market advantage
- Seamless SAP and IoT integration
- Real-time consumption analytics
Scope
- •Comprehensive energy management platform: end-to-end solution for ZEV and VEWA (consumption-based energy and water cost allocation)
- •Digital twin infrastructure: complete digital representation of physical topologies, from entire areas down to individual meters, buildings, floors, and rental units
- •Advanced consumption analytics: granular insights from individual and aggregated smart meter data, enabling behavioral optimization and energy efficiency
- •Integrated billing engine: automated service and tenant billing with support for custom energy pricing models and complex allocation rules
- •Intelligent price calculator: empowers tenants to determine fair energy prices by factoring in local DSO tariffs and regulatory requirements
- •Enterprise system integration: seamless connectivity with SAP IS-U S/4HANA Utilities and IoT data platforms
Why NPL was the Right Choice
Energy management requires orchestrating data flows between SAP systems, IoT platforms, billing engines, and regulatory databases, all while maintaining perfect state consistency and data access control. NPL's state and event handling capabilities made this complex integration straightforward. CKW could connect all external systems with confidence, knowing that state integrity and process accuracy were guaranteed, and that data access was precisely controlled at every level.
