What it is
ABB Nsight is a cloud analytics platform for industrial operators who need visibility into site energy use and carbon performance. It brings water, air, gas, electricity and steam data into one dashboard and includes utility bill and tariff analysis. The platform supports greenhouse gas baselining, reporting and real-time monitoring for Scopes 1 and 2. Its Baseline level covers reporting and tariff analysis; Real-time adds meter monitoring, power quality analysis, and energy rates, weather and CO₂ information. Optimize includes machine-learning grid prediction, demand response optimization and automated load curtailment. ABB says Nsight can connect with ERP, BMS, SCADA, AMI and IoT systems using APIs and flexible protocols, and is designed to use existing meters, sensors and systems without new hardware in most cases. ABB describes encryption at rest and in transit, outbound-only data flow and two-factor authentication, and states that the service complies with SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST standards. Subscription levels include onboarding, training and 24/7 support. Pricing is on request.
