Vigyanlabs has been offering globally,  Intelligent Power Management with PowerMind AI  (IPM+)  sustainability solutions for saving energy in Endpoints, Servers and Smart Buildings. Our award-winning innovation describes how IPM+  plays a vital role in Organisational Sustainability. IPM+ customers have saved 30% energy, on average, and have seen cooling energy reductions, too, as lesser energy consumption of Endpoints means lesser heat generated in buildings. IPM+ solution is also available for Data Centers and Smart buildings making it a total one-stop solution for sustainability.
