What ABB Nsight is
ABB Nsight is a cloud analytics platform for industrial operators seeking visibility into site energy use and carbon performance. It brings water, air, gas, electricity and steam data into one dashboard and provides utility bill and tariff analysis. The platform supports greenhouse gas baselining, reporting and real-time monitoring for Scopes 1 and 2. Its three listed levels cover reporting and tariff analysis, real-time meter monitoring and power quality analysis, and optimization features such as grid prediction, demand response and automated load curtailment. ABB says Nsight can connect with ERP, BMS, SCADA, AMI and IoT systems using open APIs and flexible protocols. It is designed to work with existing meters, sensors and systems without new hardware in most cases. ABB says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with outbound-only data flow and two-factor authentication, and states compliance with SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST standards. Subscription levels include onboarding, training and 24/7 support. Pricing is on request.
