ForeCoop IoT: Our Third-Generation Bridge, Built in the EU

Rauno Jokelainen

CTO

Three generations of innovation for reliability, through Finnish hardware and software engineering

Truman Data’s real estate end-of-service offering, whether the Energy Coop PaaS or our manufactured ForeCoop as a standalone IoT-solution with its dedicated cloud service … is built to integrate seamlessly with behind-the-meter systems, BAS, BEMS, and related solutions, providing customers with a consumption-driven energy model through an open-source platform where balance trading requires minimal or no human intervention.

ForeCoop IoT: The Intelligent Energy Edge for Distributed Flexibility

Both Energy Coop PaaS and ForeCoop, as cloud computing systems, aggregate flexibility from even the smallest energy assets in the built environment, as well as at energy producers’ sites in larger installations.

Meaning that both the hardware and virtual versions of ForeCoop, with or without the Energy Coop PaaS dimension, can transform all distributed demand response capacity. The system reads and processes all flexibility into a clear, usable, and tradable resource on any flexibility market, regardless of the amount of energy, operating in a granular manner and batching individual flexible units into a single tradable amount.

The ForeCoop IoT solution is the only swarm-based, plug-and-play IoT device that can be deployed either as hardware or virtually, supporting both electricity and district heating networks
