Automated plant management

    Optimize production and grow profit.Automatically.

    Plant-aware BESS dispatch reads day-ahead markets, charges when power is cheap, and discharges or exports when prices reward it—within your limits and without operators babysitting every interval.

    At a glance

    BESS (battery energy storage) is on-site capacity you charge when power is cheap and discharge—or export—when markets pay for it. Comex designs industrial systems that combine day-ahead exchange signals (CROPEX, SEEPEX, HUPX), edge control, and operator dashboards so production economics—cost per unit output and trading margin—stay visible and automated, not guessed.

    The process

    From market signal to plant output
    in three automated steps

    Market intelligence

    The system tracks markets, weather, and on-site telemetry; it incorporates CROPEX, SEEPEX, and HUPX day-ahead curves, anticipates price moves, and drafts a charge/discharge plan for your plant before the trading day—so production and power decisions start aligned.

    Edge execution

    Your on-site Teltonika/Intel edge node runs the schedule with millisecond-class response—no cloud hop for every command, no single choke point. Critical paths keep running when connectivity blips.

    Automatic arbitrage

    Buy low, discharge or export high within your connection and process limits—trimming energy cost per output and lifting merchant margin where you trade. Nights, weekends, and holidays included; no manual dispatch roster.

    Plant visibility

    One screen for production and power.

    Comex BESS dashboard ties net benefit, battery SOC, market curves, and the next automated windows to what your plant is doing—so operators see energy and output context together, from anywhere.

    • Built-in Physics Validation

      Every command is validated against real-world hardware limits before execution. Equipment always operates within manufacturer-specified safe boundaries.

    • Multi-site portfolio management

      Multiple plants? Roll up production and energy KPIs, compare sites, and push schedule updates across the fleet from one control surface.

    • Zero-Trust Network Security

      Secured via HashiCorp Vault and ZeroTier mesh VPN. Your operational data never touches public infrastructure unless you explicitly authorize it.

    Common questions

    What is industrial BESS and who is it for?
    Industrial BESS is battery storage sized for factories, logistics sites, and other high-load facilities. It fits teams that buy from day-ahead markets or face volatile tariffs and want automated charge/discharge aligned to price forecasts, connection limits, and production schedules.
    How does optimization relate to CROPEX, SEEPEX, and HUPX?
    CROPEX (Croatia), SEEPEX (Serbia), and HUPX (Hungary) publish day-ahead electricity prices in 15-minute or hourly resolution. Our optimization stack ingests those signals (along with your load and PV profile) to schedule battery actions ahead of the trading day, reducing exposure to peak intervals.
    Why work with a Schneider Electric certified integrator?
    Certified integrators follow Schneider Electric partner engineering practices for power and automation equipment. For customers, that means vendor-aligned hardware selection, safer commissioning paths, and documentation suitable for industrial compliance environments.
    How do I get a facility-specific economics model?
    Start with a consultation: we collect tariff structure, connection limits, load profile, and any on-site generation. Comex then models dispatch against historical market data and your constraints so savings, merchant margin, payback, and risks are explicit before procurement.

    Ready to tighten production economics at your plant or solar site?

    We model automated BESS dispatch against your tariffs, connection limits, load, and generation—so you see cost per unit output, margin, and payback before you buy. No commitment.
