Every step is designed to get your system installed properly and get you to intelligence fast.
Minimal disruption. Maximum insight.
PHASE 1 - PREPARATION
01Step 1 - PlanFacility Assessment & System Configuration
Every deployment begins with a detailed facility assessment. By reviewing electrical panels, MCCs, and switchgear, our team can evaluate infrastructure requirements, configure the system architecture, and prepare the platform before installation begins.
Hardware Configuration
Identify the optimal hardware, sensor, and communication configuration based on the facility’s electrical infrastructure.
Facility Mapping
Identify major systems, equipment, and electrical distribution pathways to support deployment, reporting, and future facility intelligence.
PHASE 1 - PREPARATION
02Step 2 - ConfigureFacility Configuration
Every Facility Operates Differently
Before the platform becomes active, we configure key facility information to ensure dashboards, reporting, and future insights reflect how your building actually operates.
Operating Hours & Schedules
Establish normal operating schedules so the platform can accurately distinguish between expected activity and potential operational inefficiencies.
Weather Integration
Configure building-specific information and environmental factors that influence facility operation and performance.
Dashboard Configuration
Prepare the dashboard structure, system organization, and reporting framework prior to deployment.
PHASE 1 - PREPARATION
03Step 3 - DeliverHardware Delivery
Once the facility review and configuration are complete, the required hardware is prepared and shipped directly to the installation location. Each deployment includes the hardware, documentation, and supporting materials required to ensure a smooth installation process.
Sensors & Hardware
All required monitoring hardware based on your facility requirements.
Installation Documentation
Deployment information and installation guidance.
Pre-Configured Components
Hardware prepared and configured prior to shipment.
PHASE 2 - ON-SITE DEPLOYMENT
04Step 4 - InstallHardware Installation
CT Clamps Installation
CT clamps are simply clipped around the wires connected to each individual circuit breaker — with no rewiring, shutdowns, or major modifications required.
Each CT clamp is labeled based on the circuit it is connected to, creating a clean and organized setup for capturing real-time electrical activity throughout the facility.
CT Hub Installation
The CT hub is mounted at the panel and each labeled CT clamp plugs straight into it. The hub collects circuit-level readings and passes them to the gateway, with no new wiring through the facility.
Every hub is pre-configured for the panel it serves, so installers mount it, connect the clamps, and move on to the next panel.
Gateway Installation
The gateway is mounted near the panels and powered from a standard outlet. It gathers the data from every CT hub on site and securely sends it to the Opti‑mized platform.
One gateway can support multiple panels, and more hubs can be added later as monitoring expands.
PHASE 2 - ON-SITE DEPLOYMENT
05Step 5 - ConnectCommissioning
Getting Your System Online
Once installation is complete, the gateway is connected to the internet and commissioned within the platform. The process is designed to be simple, allowing facilities to get connected and begin collecting data quickly.
Flexible Connectivity Options
Ethernet
Connect directly to the facility network using a standard Ethernet connection for a fast and reliable connection.
Wi-Fi
Connect to a wireless network through a simple setup process similar to connecting a mobile device.
Cellular
Where facility network access is unavailable or restricted, an optional cellular connection can be used to securely connect the system to the cloud platform.
Secure & Simple Connectivity
The gateway is designed to make commissioning straightforward. Whether using Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or optional cellular connectivity, the system establishes a secure connection to the cloud platform with minimal network configuration. All communication is encrypted and initiated from within the facility network. No inbound connections are required, helping simplify deployment while maintaining secure communications.

06Step 6 - VerifyValidation & Testing
Ensuring Everything Is Working As Expected
Before the platform is activated, our team performs a series of validation checks to verify that hardware, communications, and data collection are operating correctly. This final review helps ensure the system is functioning properly and ready to begin delivering accurate facility insights.
Data Verification
Confirm that sensors and gateways are communicating properly and that data is being received as expected.
System Validation
Verify that hardware, connectivity, and platform configuration have been successfully completed.
Quality Assurance
Perform final checks to ensure the deployment meets operational requirements before activation.
