Data Integration
Data integration is the process of combining energy data from multiple sources — meters, sensors, billing systems — into a single, consistent dataset for analysis.
Definition
Data integration involves combining data from disparate sources — different meter brands, sensor types, utility billing systems, and manual spreadsheets — into a single, consistent dataset, resolving differences in format, units, and timing along the way. It's a necessary step before meaningful cross-site or cross-utility analysis can happen.
Why It Matters
Organisations with multiple sites, suppliers, and meter types often have energy data scattered across incompatible formats — integration is what makes portfolio-wide analysis possible instead of site-by-site manual review.
How ecolyptus Helps
ecolyptus integrates data across meter types, sites, and utility categories into one consistent dataset, removing the need for manual reconciliation across sources.
