What it is

ABB Nsight is a cloud-based analytics platform for industrial operators seeking visibility into site energy use and carbon performance. It centralizes water, air, gas, electricity, and steam data in one dashboard and includes utility bill and tariff analysis. The platform supports greenhouse gas baselining, reporting, and real-time monitoring for Scopes 1 and 2. Its listed levels cover reporting and tariff analysis, real-time meter and significant energy user monitoring, and optimization tools such as grid prediction, demand response optimization, and automated load curtailment. ABB says Nsight connects with ERP, BMS, SCADA, AMI, and IoT systems using open APIs and flexible protocols. It is designed to use existing meters, sensors, and systems without requiring new hardware in most cases. ABB describes encryption at rest and in transit, outbound-only data flow, and two-factor authentication, and states compliance with SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, and NIST standards. All three subscription levels include onboarding, training, and 24/7 support. The platform is available on web and via API; pricing is on request.
