any asset, live in hours.
Every battery, inverter and heat pump on a site has its own quirks, its own protocol, its own register map, its own way of failing. That's what normally blocks a fast go-live, and what breaks quietly once you're live: an asset drops offline and nobody notices until the numbers stop adding up. norbert solves both. Every asset ships pre-integrated, so wiring one up is the only step left before a site goes live, and once it is, norbert is watching every connection so a failure gets caught and routed around before it becomes downtime.
Configuring, deploying and maintaining a microgrid doesn't require an engineer anymore. Anyone can do it with norbert. Allow your top players to focus on what actually matters.
Deployment
norbert can support any asset, and keeps every driver up to date. If something's missing, we'll add it, or you wire it up yourself with a simple config file through our integration tool.
Fast to go live
Every asset already has a driver. Installers wire it up with live feedback in hand, and the microgrid configurator mirrors exactly what's on site.
Three steps, nobody waiting on anyone. A site goes from empty rack to fully running in hours.
Nothing goes unseen
Live visibility. Watch a site the moment it's wired in. The edge streams to the cloud at 1-second resolution, so you see what's happening as it happens.
A flaky connection just delays the sync. The dashboard catches back up the moment it reconnects, nothing is lost.

Fault detection. Get alerted the moment something fails, and see exactly what failed, not just that something did.
One failed gateway can look like forty different problems. norbert traces every fault back to its true source and suppresses the noise it caused, so nobody has to guess, and gets a technician straight into the hardware that needs attention.
Edge controller failover. If the primary edge controller goes down, a standby takes over automatically. Apps keep running and every safety bound stays enforced through the handoff.
Everything the site needs to keep running already lives on the edge, not the cloud. A dropped connection to the cloud is a missed sync, never downtime.
Portability
One control API, identical on every site, so your app doesn't know or care what hardware it's running on.
Built-in protection. Every command is checked against that asset's real operating limits before it's sent. Nothing exceeds what the hardware can safely handle, no blown fuses, no tripped breakers, no bricked inverters.
The bounds live with the asset's driver, not with your app. Ask for more than an asset can take, and peak-shaver sees exactly what happened: what was applied instead, and why.
Contact
We're looking for a first group of design partners across Europe, microgrid operators running sites across many enterprises, teams deploying their own algorithm, and hardware makers opening up to other vendors. You get early access to norbert. In exchange, you run it against your real hardware and tell us where it falls short. You shape the platform. We build it around your sites.
