Tap-Off Units Meters - Billing System

[TechWhiz123]

Dear Team,

Have anyone tried to connect the billing system from SE-PME [ Schneider power monitoring expert ] to ITA ? As the Tap-Off units Meters of the racks will be connected to PME and it will generate billing reports. My question is : Can ITA import this billing and show it to the the data center tenants ? and see his consumbtion \ bill via a report ? 

Thank you,

Hello TechWhiz123

I have not heard of a case where PME's billing system was integrated to ITA. You may receive a response from another Schneider resource who knows otherwise.

I know for certain there are customers who have linked PME to ITA to share power measurements from PME to ITA. This was typically meant to enrich the measurement data ITA uses for capacity planning and so on.

ITA has a set of Energy Cost reports which is a per rack "billing" report for a time period based specifically on power measurement data at the rack or the breakers feeding the racks. So if ITA is enriched with PME power data then those reports could provide a form of billing as long as the billing is strictly limited to rack based power measurements.

If you have a need to integration PME's billing system with ITA, it may be necessary to engage a solution architect from schneider to identify whether the integration itself is possible or whether a billing report can be developed through a custom service.
