In keeping with the company's objective to develop increasingly intelligent solutions that enable its customers to grow their businesses and improve their user experience, the new CE8 family of generator set control units follows on from the launch of the CET8 control unit for its lighting towers and HICORE for its battery energy storage systems (EHR). 
The CEM8 control system for mobile and stationary generator sets, the CEA8

model, mainly for generators requiring automatic response, and the CEC8 model, to be installed in external switchboards, have been designed to optimise equipment operation and maximise the user experience thanks to their native IoT connectivity capabilities and their integration with HG platforms, offering a 360 solution for remote monitoring and control of the equipment fleet. 

The company has a specialised team of engineers dedicated to the development of hardware, software and firmware for the design of control systems for its generator sets, lighting towers and battery energy storage systems. With the aim of creating an intelligent connectivity ecosystem, it has also created a new position, that of Director of Connectivity Programmes and Cloud Services.

The new director will implement a management platform that enables remote monitoring, control and maintenance of its products. The platform provides real-time monitoring of critical parameters, automatic alerts in the event of a failure and tools for proactive maintenance planning, all with the aim of maximising operational efficiency and minimising downtime. It also generates advanced reporting and data analysis capabilities, enabling informed decision-making and ensuring that generator sets perform at optimal levels in every location. 

The HIMOINSA connectivity map is powered by NEURON, which integrates all communication flows and even makes it possible to share machine operation and performance data with external customer platforms via APIs.  

This native control unit has been developed specifically for power generation, with optimised navigation to ensure optimum performance. Thanks to its native design, installation, programming and commissioning are quick and easy, saving time and resources. 

Every function, line of code and interface has been designed to respond efficiently to the needs of the energy sector, providing a seamless user experience tailored to market requirements

• Programmable PLC, providing the user with extensive operational and management advantages, as well as the ability to program in five different languages, thereby improving the adaptability and customisation of the system. 
• Advanced and remote real-time management of operating parameters to maximise generator set efficiency. The new controllers allow remote access to the software of each control panel, facilitating the configuration of the desired parameters in real time and optimising operation according to the needs of each application. 
• Intuitive and user-friendly interface, designed to facilitate user interaction and enhance the user experience. 

• Native integration with HG Suite, enabling efficient remote monitoring and control from PC or mobile devices. 
• Safety systems and alarms, minimising downtime and ensuring constant monitoring, rapid response to any eventuality and efficient and safer operation.    
• Compliance with international standards, ensuring safe and certified operation. EN IEC 62311 (communication network) / EN 61010-1 (electrical safety) / EN 61326-1 (electromagnetic compatibility) / EN 60529 (sealing). Prepared for CRA (Cyber Resilience) compliance. 
• Integrated USB, CAN, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RS485, SNMP and modem communication for mobile connectivity.
