As Australia ramps up investment in renewable generation and large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), the infrastructure supporting this transition must be as resilient as the energy systems it powers.
Moxa, a global leader in industrial connectivity, is delivering exactly that – rugged, secure, and scalable communication and computing platforms purpose-built for energy environments.
But hardware alone isn’t enough. That’s where Madison Technologies steps in not only as a distributor, but as a technical partner. As an engineering-led distributor, Madison combines Moxa’s world-class technology with deep local expertise to support project outcomes across mining, utilities, energy, and critical infrastructure.
From the substation to the edge, BESS networks face real-world complexity: thousands of data points across distributed systems, operating in remote or corrosive environments, and governed by strict compliance and cybersecurity expectations.
In regions like the Pilbara or Bowen Basin, BESS is fast becoming essential to support off-grid mining operations, enabling sites to reduce diesel reliance while maintaining energy resilience in isolated and demanding conditions.
Moxa’s hardened industrial solutions – including the DA-820C for EMS computing, EDR-G9010 secure router, and EDS/RKS Ethernet switches – are already deployed across 28 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy storage capacity globally, including Australia’s largest BESS project.
Yet selecting the right products is only part of the challenge. Madison’s engineering-led approach starts earlier in the process – during solution scoping and network design – to reduce risk and accelerate time to value, helping customers:
- Validate interoperability and protocol compatibility across the tech stack
- Design networks to withstand remote environmental stressors and redundancy requirements
- Align architectures with standards like IEC 61850 and IEC 62443
- Configure for cybersecurity resilience, remote diagnostics, and edge visibility
This is not “just distribution”. It’s solution assurance – built on decades of industrial domain knowledge and local project support.
The result? Lower lifetime costs, faster commissioning, fewer integration headaches, and a grid-ready BESS network built for scale.
