At ONI, monitoring means more than just surveillance: it involves the continuous observation and control of operational and energy data to ensure that industrial facilities run smoothly, faults are detected early, and opportunities for efficiency improvements can be addressed in a targeted manner. ONI specializes in systems engineering that enables energy costs to be reduced efficiently and sustainably.
In practice, it is not just the technology that matters, but also having a constant overview of system conditions, consumption, and deviations. Effective monitoring provides a clear definition of “what is normal”: temperatures, pressures, operating times, load profiles, and setpoints. As soon as data falls outside these parameters, monitoring allows causes to be identified more quickly and issues to be addressed specifically—before they lead to malfunctions, downtime, or unnecessary energy costs.
This is crucial for companies because:
ONI links plant operations and service via a globally oriented data and information network—this means that, in principle, any ONI plant can be contacted.
Once you have given your approval, you can also access the system via the data network to read and evaluate status reports, adjust setpoints, and detect deviations in a timely manner.
The result: Monitoring becomes the foundation for stable availability and energy-efficient operation—in line with ONI’s commitment to sustainably reducing energy costs.
For continuous operational transparency with operating statuses, messages, and trends—as the basis for stable availability and quick decisions.
Typical functions:
When potential savings need to be identified and optimizations implemented in a measurable way—in line with ONI’s focus on “sustainably reducing energy costs.”
Typical features:
Secure access via a data network to read/evaluate status reports and detect deviations in a timely manner.
This offers particular advantages for distributed locations: ONI explains that networked data technology enables constant monitoring and flexible access to systems distributed worldwide.
Monitoring complements maintenance: The goal is trouble-free, energy-efficient operation—with service in the background. ONI emphasizes comprehensive service and the ability to monitor systems via the data network; regular maintenance remains a fundamental prerequisite for trouble-free, energy-saving operation.

Not quite. Application Performance Monitoring (APM), or performance monitoring, typically refers to IT applications and their functionality and response times. Plant and energy monitoring, on the other hand, focuses on the operation, energy consumption, and process parameters of technical systems. In modern environments, these two perspectives complement each other—especially when data is consolidated in a (private) cloud.
