Cence Power

What Cence Power does

Cence Power Inc. is a privately held Canadian technology company headquartered in Markham, Ontario, that designs and supplies DC power distribution systems for commercial buildings, telecom infrastructure, and data centers. The company was formed through the merger of the Argentum Electronics team (founded 2015) with Cence Power, consolidating expertise in DC distribution, building automation, and digital twin software under one entity led by President and CEO Bolis Ibrahim.

The core product offering is an all-in-one DC distribution ecosystem covering both Class 2 low-voltage (Cence LV, up to 60V DC / 100W per channel, 3,200W per hub) and Class 4 fault-managed power (Cence FMP / HV, up to 450V DC) built around the proprietary 'Digital Current™' fault-monitoring architecture. Hardware is complemented by a wireless mesh network, smart power splitters, occupancy and indoor-environmental sensors, and a cloud-connected digital twin application for monitoring, control, and automation via an interactive digital floor plan.

Cence monetizes primarily through quote-based hardware project sales supported by a 24-rep manufacturers' representative network across North America, with a secondary subscription revenue stream from the digital twin / intelligent controls software. Pricing is project-by-project (Net 30 with required deposits for custom builds), and customers include Scotiabank, EllisDon, and HH Angus and Associates, with documented 30-43% operational expense reductions at named sites. The company has 1-10 employees and is pre-profitability / pre-Series-A in scale based on disclosed information.

Core offering

Cence Power manufactures and sells DC power distribution hardware systems for buildings, including the Cence LV (Class 2 low-voltage, up to 60V DC / 100W per channel, 3200W per hub) and Cence FMP/HV (Class 4 fault-managed power, up to 450V DC via Digital Current™). The hardware is integrated with the Cence App digital twin software, smart power splitters, and wireless occupancy/environmental sensors to enable real-time monitoring, control, and automation of building power systems. The systems are sold as new construction and retrofit solutions to building owners, engineers, and electrical contractors across North America.

Product overview

Cence Power offers an all-in-one DC power distribution ecosystem comprising two core product lines: Cence LV (low-voltage, Class 2) for power distribution up to 60V DC/100W per channel, and Cence FMP/HV (fault-managed, Class 4) for higher-voltage distribution up to 450V DC using patented Digital Current technology. The ecosystem includes the Cence App with integrated digital twin software, a wireless mesh network connecting all devices, smart power splitters, and wireless sensors for occupancy and environmental quality monitoring. The company was formed through the merger of Argentum Electronics, which brought DC power distribution expertise and smart building technology including digital twin capabilities.
