The Software to automate energy-efficient electric and cabling network systems design

The complexity of industrial and construction projects worldwide is increasing constantly every year.

At the same time the cost of energy recourses is growing even faster. Thus Energy Efficiency Factor is becoming number one important. The time requires new technologies and automated solutions.

For the following problems:

Problems: 1. Capital costs for the installation of communications

are high 2. Networks design is very time-consuming 3. The quality of a project depends on experience and

professional intuition of its designer.

4. Designers do not consider energy efficiency factor 5. There are many restrictions and limitations for

communications installation

Solution?

• Intelligent designer’s prompting system

• Optimization by a parameter/parameters

NetGen Software

• Computer automated design

• Intellectual analysis of a network for its functionality and energy-efficiency

• Algorithmic taking into account of limitations for network installation

featuring the following functions:

Innovations:

Unique mathematic model of S-Hypernetworks (Smart Hyper Networks)

The S-Hypernetworks mathematically describes: • Network hierarchy • Network dynamics

Developed and implemented the algorithm of capital costs optimization
