3 terms

automatic transfer switch (ats) technical

"Gen-Tracker's universal, automatic transfer switch (ATS)-based monitoring technology"

An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is an electrical device that senses loss or restoration of a primary power source and automatically switches a building or system to a backup source, such as a generator or secondary utility feed. It matters to investors because an ATS helps keep critical operations running during power outages—like a traffic switch that reroutes electricity—which reduces the risk of costly downtime, data loss, or operational interruptions for businesses that rely on uninterrupted power.

accretive financial

"acquired substantially all of the assets of Generator Solutions"

"Accretive" describes a situation where a financial action, such as a purchase or investment, increases the value or earnings of a company. For investors, it signals that the move is likely to boost profitability and overall worth, much like adding a beneficial ingredient to a recipe that enhances the final taste. An accretive decision is generally seen as positive because it contributes to growth and financial health.

demand response technical

"enable automated “demand response” electric grid support"

Demand response is a program or market mechanism where electricity users are paid or incentivized to reduce or shift their power use when the grid is stressed or prices are high, similar to turning down nonessential appliances during a heat wave to ease a traffic jam. It matters to investors because it can lower peak energy costs, affect utility revenues and market prices, and create opportunities for companies that provide the software, equipment, or services that enable those load changes.

Gen-Tracker's universal, automatic transfer switch (ATS)-based monitoring technology and veteran team extend OmniMetrix's reach to standby generators of virtually any make, model or age

OAKDALE, Minn. and BUFORD, Ga., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acorn Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACFN), a provider of remote monitoring and control solutions for critical infrastructure, today announced that its OmniMetrix subsidiary has acquired substantially all of the assets of Generator Solutions, Inc., a provider of remote monitoring systems for standby generators under the “Gen-Tracker” brand name, effective September 9, 2026.

Generator Solutions is one of the longest-standing independent generator monitoring providers, with approximately $1.1M in recurring annual monitoring revenue and $400,000 in annual monitoring equipment sales. Since its founding in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2001, Generator Solutions has established Gen-Tracker as one of the most respected monitoring platforms in the commercial and industrial standby generator market.

Agreement Terms
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, OmniMetrix paid $1.0M in cash at closing and agreed to make additional cash payments of $450,000 per year, for each of the next four years, and a final payment of $700,000 in the fifth year, for total consideration of $3.5M. Acquired assets include the company’s customer accounts, dealer relationships, trade names, trademarks, technology, accounts receivables and hardware inventory.

Every full-time Generator Solutions employee has joined OmniMetrix and will continue to work from the existing Minnesota location. The team brings decades of combined, hands-on experience in standby power, automatic transfer switch (ATS) integration and generator dealer support.

Two Complementary Approaches, One Provider
Generator Solutions has historically competed with OmniMetrix in the commercial and industrial standby generator monitoring market, and its flagship Gen-Tracker product takes a fundamentally different path to the same goal. Rather than connecting to the generator’s engine controller, Gen-Tracker monitors generator readiness through the ATS –– a design that works across generators of virtually any make, model, or age, including the large installed base of older units that predate modern controllers.

Combined with OmniMetrix’s controller-level, enterprise-grade platform, the two approaches give dealers and end customers a single source for:

• Deep diagnostics on modern, controller-equipped generators
• Universal readiness monitoring on legacy, orphaned and mixed-brand fleets
• One provider and one support organization for a facility portfolio, regardless of what’s behind the door
  

CEO Commentary
Acorn and OmniMetrix CEO, Jan Loeb, commented, “Gen-Tracker is a proven, first-class solution that builds on our capabilities and market leadership, while extending our service reach. By combining our controller-level and enterprise-grade monitoring with Gen-Tracker’s ATS-based universal monitoring approach, we can now serve a broader range of customers and generator environments than either company could alone.

“Importantly, we’re adding a team that has spent 25 years in this market, bringing deep expertise in transfer switches, field installation, and dealer support to make OmniMetrix an even stronger partner to every customer we serve.

“Based on OmniMetrix’s first half monitoring revenue of $2.8M, we expect the acquisition to increase annualized monitoring revenue by at least 15%. We also expect the transaction to be accretive to our 2027 net income by at least $0.10 per diluted share.

“After an extended process of dialogue and evaluation, we are excited to welcome the Gen-Tracker operations to the OmniMetrix family, and we look forward to leveraging our collective strengths to drive continued growth across the business.”
