Release of KW2M-X Eco-POWER METER - Expandable Power Meter to Monitor Real Time Power Data on Browser

Kasugai, Japan - In January 2016, Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. launched the Eco-POWER METER KW2M Series (Product name: KW2M-X), a power meter that has real time monitoring function on browser with multiple circuits. By making power consumption visible, the KW2M-X helps to identify and locate devices that are wasting power.

To save energy, it is crucial to measure, compare and monitor multiple points of power consumption. There are needs to measure multiple points and identify power consumption for energy saving activities, while increase in the requests to measure and monitor easily by reducing wiring labor and material costs. In addition, on the back of broadened Ethernet communication, there are needs of using exist LAN environment and checking data easily.
