What is Bidgley?
Bidgley derived its name from
the hindi meaning of the word i.e. बिजली which
means electricity. It is a company founded by Mr. Abhay Gupta and Mr. Vivek
Garud based in Sunnyvale, California. The company provides domestic as well as
industrial level analytics of data about consumption of power by various
devices. For example, if my monthly consumption in terms of units of electricity
is say 500 units then the Bidgley provides solutions that can monitor the exact
number of units consumed by which unit i.e. Air Conditioner used 250 units,
water pump consumed 100 units, etc. Most importantly it provides the data in
terms of currency i.e. units consumed multiplied rate of electricity per unit. The
products and solutions offered by the company also includes monitoring
solutions i.e. you will receive notifications via app installed on your
smartphones if the usage has exceeded particular limit fixed by you, very
similar to data pack monitoring done by our smartphones. The devices are cloud
based, which means it helps you compare your usage with others who have signed
off for cloud services in a particular area as it offers you Wi-Fi
connectivity.
