Data only saves money when it supports a decision.
Collecting data is not the same as using it. Our platform is built around producing a shorter, more useful list of things a team can act on — not a wider dashboard of things to watch.
About
NoWatt created a unique dataset
NoWatt designed and deployed pioneering data-collection technology twenty years ago. Since then, it has captured real equipment behaviour at unrivalled resolution across a vast range of appliances. That long operating history matters because nobody else understands how so many products actually behave over time.
Since 2006
Two decades of live deployment across sectors, sites, and operating conditions that are impossible to reproduce internally.
Operating principles
The ideas that shaped the dataset
These are the lessons that came out of years of trying to make operating data commercially useful in the real world, not just technically interesting in a report.
The benchmark matters more than the sensor.
Any monitoring system can detect that something changed. Only a system with deep comparative context can tell you whether the change matters, what kind of problem it is, and how urgent it is.
Real-world data is not the same as lab data.
The NoWatt dataset captures how equipment and people actually behave — including settings drift, misuse, intervention patterns, and the slow changes that eventually become failures.
