… for the opportunity to come and get to know such a beautiful and unique city and country.  Did you know, for example, that Plovdiv is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe and the 6^th in the world? We certainly did not. That is really something. So many wonderful things must have happened here… We at MicroStep Invest believe that if we want Bulgarian companies to know about our solutions, it is important for us to know about Bulgaria as a whole and uncover our solutions through the layers of history that you have experienced as a country. From the Slavic era, through the Roman era, to the ancient Odrysian kingdom. We will tell you our MicroStep Invest story and uncover layers, this time of our technological solutions. From the Company itself, through our VARIOSTEP product line, all the way to our amazing application that saves the nowadays so greatly needed energy.

…at what we do, which is intelligent and secure solutions in the field of energy and information systems. That’s where we are in our element. We are a Slovak company with a transparent ownership structure operating in Central Europe. We are in TOP form. In previous years, we ranked among Technology Fast 50 in Central Europe and also among Technology Fast 500 in all of Europe in the Deloitte evaluation. For our services, the information security management system is a matter of course. In all our activities, we do not forget about environmental impacts. We have therefore built a quality and environmental management system in accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards. We focus on data analysis, machine learning, smart grids and Industry 4.0. That is just to introduce our Company. Come in and learn about our solutions.

By the way, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so how about an 8-minute video :). We know, we said 5 minutes of reading but this is something you should watch. If you do not want to watch the video, that’s OK, we don’t blame you. The video is in Slovak only. We didn’t have the time to adapt it 🙁 Time is money and thanks to our solutions, we help you save money, so keep scrolling.

…costs by monitoring energy flow and applying automated optimization. VARIOSTEP is a product line for energy management. Applications and modules of the VARIOSTEP product line are designed for deployment in industrial settings. The VARIOSTEP solution consists of applications, devices and complex systems built for individual functions. The VARIOSTEP solution offers scalable SW and modular HW suitable for data collection, monitoring and control of energy management.

…entities of local authorities, commercial and industrial sites, sports complexes and indeed everyone who wants to save on energy costs. Our solution that is worth its weight in gold to you is our VARIOSTEP EDGE application. It is a technological and information system for distribution network management combining features of dispatching and handling of customer business processes for overall energy management. Variostep EDGE is designed for smaller local systems (local distribution systems), energy communities, municipalities, etc. It provides the collection and storage of data into 15 minute profiles or larger data granularity with the option of predictions and other user data analytics. The system also offers mass servicing of end consumers, including the preparation of data for invoicing and reporting. The system is ready for flexibility introduction and its development responds to changes in the energy market…

… not only by the Danube. Yes, the Danube really flows through Slovakia, even through our Bratislava (where we are based). Although the Danube offers the possibility of sailing all the way to Bulgaria, we have not yet used this form of connection  On our way here from Bratislava, we have covered exactly 1,121 km which is not negligible but if you want to start building new connections, you should take every opportunity to do so. There are certainly more connections between our countries. We at MicroStep Invest, however, would like to be the link between you and energy optimization. We know that we know it. We know the proven processes and the best solutions. Give a chance to better savings and come even lower to our contacts at this Fair and let’s create the future together.

…will our solution cost you? First of all, let’s make it clear that we have nothing to do with Microsoft. They will be turning 50 soon, whereas we are in our top form, just before turning 30. We do not pay thousands of employees in capitals all over the world, we do not buy start-ups that could threaten us, nor do we need to allocate huge amounts of funds to newly created corporate departments that have nothing to do with our business or to PR to hide our mistakes. What does that mean? It means we are affordable but you will need to see for yourself. Ask our colleagues directly on site or arrange a meeting.

…will be provided by our informed managers. Just to get you started, VarioStep Edge is a special web application designed for energy control and management in industrial settings, in local distribution systems or municipalities. It allows for point of consumption flexibility management and data collection from meters and their recording in time series. The solution includes data concentrators with integrated pulse coder function which allow for passing the values to the concentrator layers. Modules allow for communication via local interface with galvanic isolation optional RS232, RS485, RS422, CL20mA or optics. The system synthesizes the functions of dispatching with handling of business processes for end customers for overall energy management.

…or almost. If you are reading these lines, then you have given us the promised 5 minutes of your time, for which we are truly grateful to you. Without letting us know about you, however, we cannot thank you in person, for example by inviting you for a glass of good wine. Let that be one of the reasons for you to get in touch with us by using the contacts above. With the exception of the pigeon. It would take the poor guy more than 1,000 km to fly to Bratislava and our offices are air conditioned, it might have to keep knocking on our window. Email us, call us or just stop by at our booth and we can discuss everything in detail.

We are not sure how well you know Slovakia but we do know that you can never have enough of interesting factual reading and just in case we have bored you so far, we believe the following fun facts can make up for it. All the best.
