A Much Need Solution

ACMEs new innovative Energy Management Unit addresses
these challenges. ACME Energy Management Unit is a DC
power source which produces telecom grade regulated
DC output, which is directly fed to BTS and site battery. In
case of non availability of Electricity Board, ACME Energy
Management Unit utilizes Battery Bank power & triggers DG
only after Battery Power utilization. It works on Electricity
Board and as well as generator. EB is the primary source
and once Electricity Board is exhausted, ACME Energy
Management Unit uses DG as it is the secondary source of
power. ACME Energy Management Unit is supplied in an
IP54 OD enclosure which is placed on a civil foundation. It

Global Energy Management Center (GEMC)

ACME Cleantech Solutions Limited launched its Global
Energy Management Center (GEMC ).
The GEMC is powered with highest quality standards of
Global Energy Management Centre (GEMC) created with
an objective of remotely managing energy, assets and
field force has been providing critical insights to ACMEs
customers. The information patterns are benchmarked
against best-in-class and analyzed for usage, cost, carbon
footprint etc in a number of ways to help customer
understand consumption and usage practices. The
recommendations have resulted in energy saving options
like replacing or upgrading the inefficient equipment,
tackling routing waste or energy theft.
The center is uniquely positioned to serve clients across
the globe by acquiring data from various distributed
sources and ensures anywhere any time availability for
real time decision making. The application is hosted in
the latest cloud frame work (Private/Public) based on
Microsoft Framework and Google APIs.
The global focus is on energy conservation. With the
increased technology deployment, it is critical for
every organization to understand and monitor energy
consumption. Surprisingly, energy cost accounts for the
second highest expenditure. To service the above needs

process and certifications like ISO 27001 & SAS 70.

Strong Technical backbone
State-of-the-art 14 x 1.75m LED video wall for real time
monitoring
24/7 operation, 50,000 hours maintenance-free
equipment and low power consumption (green
technology)
The entire video wall works on internet protocol
Secured cloud computing hardware
High-end work stations
Intelligent RTU at remote end

GEMC can support any size of an organization from any
vertical. The unique proposition is, it can easily cater
to both single location with multiple process or any
organization that is having spread across the globe,
country, region, city, etc,.
The present focus is on Telecom infrastructure solutions,
Building management solutions, Power generation and
distribution requirements.

Certifications
At ACME we are working on all these three concepts and have come up
trumps.
ACME along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Reime NIS offers a range of
innovative products and services including single & multi operator enclosures,
power management solutions, cooling solutions and turn-key site installation
& management services, which work seamlessly to reduce OPEX by upto 30
- 40% in over 18 countries across the world.
ACMEs Energy Management Solution, provides a green solution without the
associated increase in CAPEX while providing a radical reduction in OPEX. This
lets operators focus on their core business of servicing customers, with total
peace of mind.
ACME is actively pursuing alternative energy initiatives such as Fuel cells and
Solar. The company has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with
eSolar to build up to 1000MW of solar thermal power plants in India over
next 10 years. This is a translation of the companys commitment to a nonconventional energy portfolio for emerging markets.
ACMEs clean energy venture will revisit and enhance the dimensions of
distributed energy and will have substantial bearing on reduction of green
house gases, which lead to a threatening carbon footprint and global warming.
