Active energy efficiency, Smart Grids
Smart electric meters are part of our daily lives.
Today, measuring, analyzing and controlling the electrical network of a venue has become a necessity.
For 10 years, CUBE Technologies have been involved in the “smart grids” concept and have developed a range of innovative solutions enabling a new approach of electrical distribution.
5 main reasons to be a player in energy efficiency :
Measure separately the different consumptions : organiser, exhibitors and buildings.
Inform simultaneously the venue’s management team and the consumer (exhibitor) for more efficiency.
Control each stand individually and avoid wasting thanks to numerous and precise information.
The KEOPS Solutions are currently in use in big venues.
VIPARIS Porte de Versailles, Palais des Congrès de Paris, Le Bourget, Paris Nord Villepinte but also CEB in Bordeaux and Geneva Palexpo, ...
For each venue, the KEOPS Solutions enable a remote control of electrical installations.
CUBE Technologies has developed KEOPS Solutions Series for optimizing power supply distribution for exhibitions venues and congress centres.
KEOPS MANAGER is a monitoring and control software to handle electrical installations to the stands.
The KEOPS Manager Suite is the central element of the KEOPS Solutions. It is a professional software, developed in cooperation with electrician teams working in different European exhibition centers. It is dedicated to manage the electricity supplying grids of the stands. It simplifies and optimizes the relationship between technical teams and exhibitors.

Using a traditional system, the exhibitor orders an electrical connection indicating the maximum power estimated necessary. The venue provides, on his stand, an electrical box whose power capacity is calibrated by a fuse or a circuit breaker (for ex : 16A circuit breaker for a connection up to 3kw). The tolerance of these components enables the exhibitor to consume more than 1,5 time of his ordered consumption. In that case, neither the venue, nor the exhibitors are aware of the situation.
With the KEOPS Solutions, the exhibitor is informed of any exceeding consumption. The KEOPS system can cut off his electrical distribution and indicates in real time the level of over-consumption, encouraging him to reduce the power of his equipment.
Using a traditional system, the stand electrical cut-off, by the end of each day, is operated by electrician teams. According to the layout of the premises and the available staff, this cut-off can be effective several hours after the exhibitor departure. Sometimes it can also be impossible if the storage room is locked.
With the KEOPS Solutions, the embedded smart device integrates a clock and an accurate calendar stating start and end times of the electrical box for each event. Therefore, the energy management is optimized and ensures costs saving for the venue.
Today for logistics and financial reasons, the commercial offers are mostly made of package prices (invoicing the electrical connection whatever the real consumption).
The KEOPS Solutions provide a unique interface, enabling to know at any time, during the event the exhibitors consumption and to transfer it automatically to the venues’ accounting department. This function enables to propose transparent commercial offers without workforce overrun.
Today organisers and exhibitors are not informed of their consumption. Therefore they are not encouraged to modify their behavior.
With the KEOPS Solutions each source of consumption (heating, air-conditioning, exhibitor consumption, lighting…) can be measured and counted separately and consolidated at any time. This information can be given to the different stakeholders in real-time to make them always more eco-friendly
