Data first by design

Quality data in, quality results out. What sets PowerShield apart is its data-first system design. Every hardware and software component is designed to ensure comprehensive, high-frequency, accurate, and repeatable data collection, management, and presentation.

PowerShield8 makes your battery data accessible at a battery system and enterprise level. By using  open data architecture standards to ensure that your valuable battery room data can be easily shared with other critical IT systems, such as a Building Management System (BMS) or Data Center Infrastructure Management  (DCIM) System, you can ensure your valuable data can be delivered to where your team needs it most.

A complete PowerShield8 Advanced Battery Monitoring and Management installation of hardware and software components ensures that all your battery assets are continuously monitored in a consistent and comparable manner.

Modular, scalable and flexible by design

Designed and manufactured to make any standby battery installation smarter and safer.
PowerShield8 can be configured to consistently monitor an almost unlimited number of blocks (VRLA, VLA and Ni-Cad) or cells (Li-ion), whether in racks or cabinets, in a high-quality, consistent manner, regardless of their charging regime or location. PowerShield8 suitable for UPS, Telco, Power Utility, Emergency Lighting, Genset and other critical power applications. Whether it is the data collection layer, data management and control layer, or the presentation and user interface layer, PowerShield8 components can be mixed, matched, and configured to meet the most demanding critical power battery monitoring and management requirements.

A typical PowerShield8 battery management system setup

It starts with quality data sampling. The data collection layer consists of smart mSensors on each block and Hubs on each string of Lead-Acid or NiCad batteries. Controllers manage the data sampling from the mSensors and Hubs, analysing and storing the data ready to be transferred. The presentation and user interface layers include Controller UI, PowerShield Assure and Link software and/or other third party systems such as BMS or DCIM systems.
