ENAPTER MONITORING TOOLS 

The device can be monitored and controlled remotely by authorised users  by 

logging into Enapter’s 

cloud services on a web browser (https://cloud.enapter.com/login). 

The device comes with a preinstalled UCM (Universal Communication Module), to monitor and manage 
the device. Various sensor data from the devices is stored in the Enapter Cloud in a time-series database 
and provides real-time or on-demand visualisation of collected data on customisable dashboards. To 
support the latest protocols and security fixes, the UCM can be updated over-the-air. 

Every device can be directly integrated with the Enapter Software-Defined EMS (Energy Management 
System). The UCM inside the device connects either directly to the Enapter Cloud, or via an Enapter 
Gateway  which  readies  your  device  for  Industry  4.0 

  to  find  out  more,  please  visit  the  Enapter 

handbook

. 

Any user of Enapter products can now integrate a wide range of devices and analogue inputs into the 
hydrogen production environment. System data of integrated devices is read continuously and is then 
securely  transmitted  to  the  cloud,  which  can  be  accessed  from  anywhere  in  the  world  via  the 

web 

interface 

or with the Enapter mobile application. 

After the setup of the device is finished, it can be managed via the mobile or web dashboard, which 
includes  Automated  Control and Monitoring  functionality  by  customisable  logic of the Enapter  Rule 
Engine (requires an Enapter Gateway on the site).  

6.1

 

MOBILE APPLICATION

 

Enapter’s mobile application makes the installation of any energy system quick and easy. 

If any part of 

the  hydrogen  system  encounters  an  issue,  the  mobile  app  can  send  push  notifications  to  alert  the 
operator. This functionality is available via Wi-Fi or mobile network, all over the world. 

To find out more, please refer to the 

Enapter handbook
