You know what’s happening on site, even when you’re not there.

Spine measures and controls a site’s electricity, heating, water and generators in one view, and raises the alarm before a deviation starts costing you money. Data collection that enables decisions based on knowledge, not guesswork.

What Spine gives you

One view, and four fewer things to keep watching

Spine handles the measuring and monitoring for you, controls devices automatically into the right state, and tells you the moment something deviates.

↑ Efficiency↓ Costs↑ Equipment lifespan↓ Surprises

See the site’s status any time

Electricity, heat, humidity and water in the same app in real time, evenings and weekends included, without a site visit.

Someone notices the deviation before you have to

A proactive alarm by text message or email arrives before the outage, while there’s still time to act.

Devices control themselves automatically

Heating adjusts to the measured temperature, the generator’s load stays at a safe level, and lights switch on their own schedule.

Reports and documents ready to go

Consumption, cost and CO₂, along with equipment inspection records and manuals, are ready whenever the client or an auditor asks.

The view

What it looks like in use

The Spine portal brings a site's boards, meters and sensors into one view. Two views from an example project below.

Spine portal site layout: boards arranged by zone and level, each showing load percentage and status.
Example project in the Spine portal

Site layout

Boards are arranged the way the site is, by zone and by level. Each tile carries its load and status, so an outlier stands out without anyone walking the site.

Spine portal device view: device cards showing consumption, voltage and a colour-coded load bar.
Example project in the Spine portal

Device view

Consumption, voltage and load per device. Green, amber and red give the state at a glance, and a device that drops offline shows as its own state immediately.

Proof

In use on real sites

Customer case

Let's look at what your site needs

Thirty minutes on your site's electricity, heating, water and control, and which of them is worth measuring. You get a straight assessment.

What Spine does

One platform, many ways to manage a site

Electricity, heating and conditions, water, and control are Spine’s core areas today, and the platform and its features keep being developed further. Pick the one your site needs or combine several. All the data flows into the same app.

Electricity

See the whole site’s power consumption and network health in real time

Spine continuously measures load, voltage and phase balance, and raises the alarm before a fault stops the work. Consumption, cost and CO₂ are reported broken down by area.

Heating & conditions

Heat sent where it’s needed, and proof that it worked

Spine Valve adjusts water flow based on the measured room temperature. Wireless sensors verify drying performance, and all condition data is stored for documentation.

Spine Valve, RuuviTag sensors, dryer control, temperature and humidity measurement
Water

See water consumption and get a leak alarm right away

Ultrasonic, MID-approved water meters send consumption and alarm data straight to the Spine cloud with no separate communication device. Water can be shut off automatically outside working hours.

Control

Generator load management and lighting control

Spine switches the generator’s auxiliary load on and off automatically, eliminating harmful underloaded running. The same logic controls lighting and devices remotely or on a schedule.

Comparison

What changes when Spine goes live

On the left, the typical situation without metering; on the right, the same thing with Spine.

Without Spine
  • Electricity Load and faults are noticed only once a device stops or a fuse trips.
  • Heating Heating and drying run “just in case”, because the space’s conditions aren’t measured.
  • Water A pipe leak shows up only on the water utility’s bill, weeks too late.
  • Generator The generator runs underloaded, sooting up and burning fuel for nothing.
  • Documents Inspection records and measurement data sit in emails and scattered folders.
With Spine
  • Electricity Per-phase load is visible in real time and the alarm arrives before an overload.
  • Heating Heating adjusts to the measured room temperature, and you can see drying progress.
  • Water A leak triggers an alarm within hours, and water can be shut off automatically.
  • Generator The auxiliary load switches on by itself, so the load stays at a safe level.
  • Documents Records, manuals and history stay with the device for the whole project.
Setup

Up and running the same day

The same principle for every Spine device: electricity, heating, water and control.

1

Connect the device

The Spine unit connects to the board, generator, valve or pipe. No rewiring and no site-specific setup.

2

Scan the QR code

The device identifies itself and places itself on the site’s floor plan or riser diagram automatically.

3

See the data in the app

Load, consumption and conditions in real time on any device, with the 4G connection ready to go.

4

Set thresholds and alarms

Threshold values, recipients and automation are configured in the app. After that, Spine handles the monitoring.

Documents

The device’s paperwork lives with the device

The Spine service stores each device’s inspection and test records, manuals and site drawings. They’re still there a year later, even if the folder is long gone and the installer has changed.

  • Inspection and test records Commissioning inspections and measurement reports are stored directly against the device.
  • Manuals and maintenance instructions The same instructions for everyone using the device on site, shift after shift.
  • Site drawings and riser diagrams A real-time riser diagram is generated automatically, and you can upload your own drawings alongside it.
  • The whole project’s history Data and documents are kept for the project’s entire lifecycle, even after the site is finished.
The Spine app shows a site's devices and their measurement data on a phone.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions

Does Spine need a separate network connection on site?

No. The devices have an automatic 4G or NB-IoT connection, so no local network infrastructure is needed. The connection also works worldwide.

Does Spine work with existing boards?

Yes. Spine is available integrated into electrical boards or as a separate Plug & Play device that plugs into a socket with no rewiring.

Where are the site’s test reports and manuals stored?

In the Spine service. A device’s inspection and test records, manuals and site drawings are stored against the device and kept for the project’s entire lifecycle.

Can Spine data be exported to your own systems?

Yes. The Partner API enables system integrations, Modbus RTU connects external devices, and MQTT provides a real-time data stream.

How much does Spine cost?

The cost consists of the device purchase and the Spine license, and depends on the site and the devices needed. Add products to the quote cart or book a consultation to get a quote for your site.

Does the data stay available after the project finishes?

Yes. All Spine data is stored for the project’s entire lifecycle, and reports can be produced for a single device or the whole site, even after the fact.
