Overview
The Belden + Edge2Web Energy Use Optimization starter kit helps industrial teams deploy secure, scalable energy monitoring. It combines Belden’s CloudRail solution for OT data acquisition, normalization, contextualization, and secure transfer, with AWS IoT SiteWise for industrial data ingestion and modeling, plus Edge2Web Power Tools for no-code KPI creation, dashboards, scorecards, and GenAI-driven recommendations. Start small and scale fast.
The starter kit is designed to minimize complexity and accelerate time-to-value. In typical deployments, once the meter is installed and connected, data is flowing to AWS and appearing in dashboards within a few hours, enabling energy visibility across facilities, departments, lines, and machines—scaling using the same repeatable pattern.
