Asuene Launches 'EnergyPilot AI' for Its AI Energy Management Cloud 'NZero' in Japan

Asuene Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Founder, Representative Director & CEO: Kohei Nishiwada; hereinafter 'the Company') has started providing 'EnergyPilot AI', a new feature for its AI energy management cloud service 'NZero', in Japan. This feature uses AI to simulate energy-saving effects and cost-effectiveness of equipment upgrades.

Against the backdrop of rising electricity prices and increasing energy costs in recent years, the importance of cost optimization through equipment upgrades is growing in factories and commercial facilities. 'EnergyPilot AI' of 'NZero' utilizes AI to quickly calculate the reduction effects and return on investment of equipment upgrades, enabling faster decision-making for capital investment.

Background for Launching 'EnergyPilot AI' on 'NZero'

With soaring electricity prices and increasing energy costs including gas and water, many companies are showing heightened interest in equipment upgrades and energy-saving investments. Particularly in factories and large facilities, upgrades of air conditioning systems, compressors, and boilers represent major investment decisions, leading to a growing need to understand the return on investment in advance.

On the other hand, considering equipment upgrades often requires consultation with specialized vendors and on-site surveys for each piece of equipment. When comparing multiple pieces of equipment, facility managers and general affairs departments face the challenge of spending significant time and effort to determine which equipment should be prioritized for upgrade and what reduction effects or investment returns can be expected.

Against this background, the Company has launched 'EnergyPilot AI' for 'NZero' in Japan, which enables quick calculation of energy-saving effects and cost-effectiveness of equipment upgrades using AI.

Main Features of 'EnergyPilot AI'

'EnergyPilot AI' instantly simulates thousands of patterns of energy-saving effects and cost-effectiveness using AI during the consideration stage before equipment upgrades. Target equipment includes air conditioning systems, compressors, boilers, pumps, and lighting equipment, supporting a wide range of equipment upgrade patterns.

The main features are the following two:

1. Studio Function

Simulates the reduction effects of equipment upgrades based on equipment information from factories and commercial facilities owned by companies.

It calculates the reduction in energy consumption and cost-effectiveness of equipment upgrades, comparing and visualizing the return on investment. Furthermore, by organizing equipment upgrade measures by priority, it enables faster decision-making for capital investment.

2. Scout Function

A sales support function that allows equipment manufacturers and sales partners to simulate the effects of introducing their own products. Based on precise AI simulations, it streamlines the creation of proposal documents and the explanation of effects to customers. It supports the efficiency of creating proposal documents and explaining effects to customers during equipment introduction.

The Company will continue to promote the advancement of energy management for a wide range of facilities owned by companies through 'EnergyPilot AI' of 'NZero'.
