Initial situation: Fragmented software architecture leads to inefficiencies and long response times
Before working with Amperecloud, Kintlein & Ose relied on various software solutions and manual processes to monitor and manage the solar installations. The inconsistent interfaces and functions of the providers led to both inefficiencies and an increased susceptibility to errors.
At the same time, expenditure on software increased due to the use of different providers. The existing infrastructure also proved to be outdated in the event of technical problems. It was not possible for Kintlein & Ose to react quickly to these problems and thus optimize system performance in real time.

"Amperecloud gave us the tools and capabilities to streamline our operations and run three times more assets with the same team."

Alarm spamming makes efficient operational management difficult
The monitoring system previously used by Kintlein & Ose also had shortcomings in the alarm system. Operators in the control room received several hundred alarms per system every day. For example, if an inverter failed, the system issued an alarm for the inverter itself, but also for all underlying components such as the strings.
Amperecloud brings all processes together in one platform
Kintlein & Ose decided to introduce Amperecloud Platform and use the "Log" data logger in order to be able to carry out monitoring, analysis, maintenance, reports and master data management in a standardized and centralized manner in the future. The latter provides real-time data from the plants, which is used for efficient analysis and performance optimization.
Thanks to the user-friendly interface and uniform database of the platform itself, O&M managers can now efficiently manage all operational processes. For example, reports based on all the data in the system can be generated with a single click.
In addition to these efficiency gains, Kintlein & Ose has also been able to reduce costs. By switching from different providers to a single platform, the total expenditure for the software has fallen.

False alarms significantly reduced
Benjamin Ose sees one of the biggest advantages of working with Amperecloud Platform on a daily basis in the intelligent alarm system: "Amperecloud's monitoring software automatically interprets alarms and summarizes them intelligently. This allows our operations managers to see at a glance where there is a real fire and react quickly."
Overall, this feature has reduced the number of faulty or unnecessary alarms by 87%. If, for example, an entire system fails today, the employees at Kintlein & Ose see a higher-level alarm - instead of receiving individual error messages for each component based on this very failure.

Conclusion: Four times more systems managed by the same staff
After implementing Amperecloud Platform, the Kintlein & Ose team was able to manage four times as many systems as before - with the same number of employees. This significant increase in personnel efficiency also has an indirect effect on the Berlin-based company's core business.
The partnership with Amprecloud allows Kintlein & Ose to concentrate fully on its core competencies: further boosting the growth of its portfolio and satisfying its own customers.
