ABB Nsight vs CIM PEAK

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.

CIM PEAK is an AI-powered building analytics platform for property owners and operating teams. It combines utility, building, and equipment information into a unified portfolio dataset, then continuously monitors equipment performance, utility use, tenant comfort, safety, and compliance. Its automated fault detection and diagnostics rules engine identifies building problems and sends alerts with step-by-step solutions. Teams can assign tasks, track progress, and upload photos from phones or tablets in a centralized workflow. PEAK is described as BMS-agnostic, connects with existing building systems, and can send alerts through Teams or Slack. Portfolio benchmarking, equipment health insights, and capital planning use real-time equipment performance data. Listed capabilities include portfolio energy monitoring, carbon tracking, automated utility-data import, and API access. The service runs on web, Android, and iOS. Pricing is on request and based on required data points. Partner pricing includes edge hardware, cloud hosting, onboarding support, and team training, with unlimited users per building.
