OMNIMETRIX Exhibiting and Presenting at the Annual Generac Dealer Conference

Buford, Georgia (January 7, 2013) -­? OMNIMETRIX, LLC, an Acorn Energy (NASDAQ:ACFN) company, is participating in the Annual Generac Dealer Conference and Vendor Showcase at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL, January 7-­?8, 2013. This invitation is the second for OMNIMETRIX, where Board Member and former Generac Dealer Owner, Andy Briggs, will be presenting two training sessions on how to "Increase Profits & Retain Customers with OMNIMETRIX Wireless Remote Monitoring".

Generator manufacturers and dealers are cognizant of the need for remote monitoring as part of a comprehensive maintenance program. "Our monitoring systems have established a stellar reputation for reliability and performance under the most rugged conditions in the field. That performance is the reason our technology is being deployed in growing numbers. OMNIMETRIX remote monitoring and diagnostic technology ensures that back-­?up power actually works when the lights go out," said Deena Redding, President & CEO of OMNIMETRIX.

The conference theme, Powering Ahead, is very appropriate as the real power behind the OMNIMETRIX system is OmniView?, the Data Management Center. OmniView? allows service organizations to be one step "ahead" by incorporating our SmartService? technology, a "Know Before You Go" philosophy. "Historically, the monitoring of distributed equipment was done manually by men in trucks, driving from site to site," said Harold P. Jarrett, VP of Engineering at OMNIMETRIX. "Today, we completely automate data collection. Consequently, we can improve the ownership experience, while simultaneously improving the operating efficiency of the service organizations that utilize our products and services."

Briggs knows first-­?hand how the OMNIMETRIX SmartService? model can significantly enhance a service organization's profitability and potentially change the way they do business altogether. By teaming up with OMNIMETRIX, Briggs said organizations have the opportunity to serve their customers more efficiently, differentiate themselves from the rest of the marketplace, add value, and improve profitability.

In addition to the training sessions, dealers are invited to visit booth #24 to learn more about OMNIMETRIX's product line, the most extensive in the industry. In addition they will have the opportunity to personally demo OmniView ?, which provides system insight through current and historical performance data from anywhere on any computer or smart device
