About InerFlow
One platform from the field to the cloud
Energy systems generate more data every day, from solar plants, batteries, EV chargers, meters and buildings. InerFlow brings that data together in a mini data center: compact hardware near the source for fast, resilient processing, connected to a secure cloud for storage, analytics and AI.
Edge Device
Sensors, meters and controllers in the field. Reads data from inverters, batteries, chargers and meters, and controls applications locally.
Edge Compute (Mini Data Center)
Compact hyper-converged hardware at the site. Filters, stores and analyzes data close to the source, and keeps working during network interruptions.
InerFlow Cloud
Central platform with cloud-native apps, long-term storage, dashboards, analytics and Generative AI across all sites, secured with ZTNA and SSO.
The challenge
Why energy data needs more than a cloud
Scattered data
Energy data sits in separate meters, inverters, chargers and SCADA systems, each in its own format.
Unreliable connectivity
Remote sites and renewable plants often have limited networks, so cloud-only systems lose data or react too slowly.
Growing data volume
Smart grids, EV charging and building systems produce continuous time-series data that is costly to move and store.
Security and integration
Operational systems must be protected, yet still open to third-party tools, APIs and new applications.
How it works
From field data to decisions, in four steps
-
Acquire
Edge devices read power, energy, status and environmental data from field equipment.
-
Process at the edge
The mini data center cleans, aggregates and analyzes data locally, and acts in real time.
-
Sync to cloud
Selected data flows securely to the cloud for long-term storage and cross-site analysis.
-
Insight and action
Dashboards, forecasts and Generative AI help operators decide and optimize.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is InerFlow?
InerFlow is a mini data center platform for the energy sector. It combines compact edge hardware with a secure cloud backend for real-time analytics, edge computing and big data processing.
Why process data at the edge?
Processing near the source reduces latency and bandwidth, keeps local control running when the network is down, and sends only the data that matters to the cloud.
Can it work with our existing equipment?
InerFlow is open and interoperable: it supports open protocols, APIs and data pipelines so it can connect to existing meters, inverters and third-party tools.
How is the platform secured?
Access is protected with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), SSL encryption and Single Sign-On (SSO).
Who develops InerFlow?
InerFlow is an innovation of PT Inovasi Energi Asia (INERSIA), a startup affiliated with the Energy Management Laboratory, Engineering Physics, Institut Teknologi Bandung.
