We turn complex energy systems into intelligent orchestrated infrastructures. With our AI platform etaONE, we help industrial companies and data center operators analyze, understand, and automatically optimize their energy flows in real time — without any additional hardware. Whether in automotive manufacturing, the pharmaceutical & chemical industry, or IT data center infrastructure: our customers face growing pressure — volatile energy prices, tightening emissions regulations, and limited resources are colliding with highly complex technical systems. etaONE acts as a “digital conductor”: it detects patterns, forecasts loads, and dynamically controls systems — more efficiently, more sustainably, and more reliably. Energy savings of up to 50%, ROI in less than a year, and significantly reduced CO₂ emissions speak for themselves. The software enhances operational stability by using predictive analytics to maintain steady system behavior, avoid load spikes, and detect anomalies in real time. Dashboards provide instant visibility into deviations, allowing personnel to act immediately — reducing downtime and minimizing manual inspections. Our AI algorithms are based on over ten years of research and are now deployed in large-scale industrial facilities operated by companies such as Volkswagen, Merck, Sanofi, Equinix, Digital Realty, and many others. Behind etalytics stands a founding team that combines deep research expertise with practical implementation experience — turning cutting-edge innovation from leading German institutions into real-world impact. Our goal: Accelerate the energy transition where it has the most impact — directly in operations. Imprint | https://etalytics.com/imprint/ Data Protection | https://etalytics.com/data-protection/
