ifesca´s AI-based plat­form AIVA offers intel­li­gent cloud ser­vices for indus­trial and energy com­pa­nies aim­ing to bet­ter pre­dict their energy needs. The core of the sys­tem is a pre­dic­tion sys­tem that allows a near real-time auto­mated fore­cast of elec­tric­ity, gas, heat, and water demand. These fore­casts allow indus­trial and energy com­pa­nies to opti­mize their pur­chases and pro­duc­tion of these resources. A closer match­ing of pur­chas­ing and pro­duc­tion with demand equates to sig­nif­i­cant sav­ings for ifesca customers.
