Smart Metering – Use Case

Smart Metering – Use Case

Custom solutions for real-time analysis.

A construction consulting company provides tailored energy-saving services by analyzing detailed energy data. To effectively capture and evaluate this data, they require a robust and reliable Energy Management System (EMS) compatible with various energy meters. The system must automatically and regularly capture data, presenting it to customers through intuitive dashboards, from which actionable energy-saving opportunities are identified. Our contribution to this solution includes the custom-developed M-Bus to LoRaWAN® converter. This converter allows existing meters to be digitized and integrated into the system, keeping investment costs low and maximizing benefits. Additionally, the system integrates photovoltaic (PV) systems into the data analysis. This automated solution facilitates real-time analysis and eliminates the need for manual meter readings, streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.

FAQ – Smart Metering

What is Smart Metering?

Smart Metering is an advanced technology that uses IoT devices to monitor and manage energy consumption in real-time. These meters collect data on electricity, gas, or water usage and transmit it to utility providers and consumers. This real-time data allows for better energy management, accurate billing, and improved detection of issues like leaks or outages. Smart meters also enable dynamic pricing, where energy costs vary based on demand, encouraging more efficient energy use. Additionally, they provide consumers with detailed insights into their usage patterns, helping them make informed decisions to reduce consumption and save costs. Overall, Smart Metering enhances efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability in energy management.

How does Smart Metering work?

Smart Metering works by using IoT-enabled devices to monitor and manage utility consumption in real-time. Smart meters are installed at the point of energy, water, or gas usage. These devices continuously collect data on consumption and transmit it wirelessly to utility providers through secure networks. The data is then processed and analyzed to provide accurate billing, detect issues like leaks or outages, and offer insights into usage patterns. Consumers can access this information through online portals or mobile apps, allowing them to track their consumption in real-time. This system enables better energy management, dynamic pricing, and more efficient resource use, ultimately enhancing overall utility management and sustainability.

What is a Smart Metering system?

A Smart Metering system is an advanced technology infrastructure that uses IoT-enabled devices to monitor, manage, and analyze utility consumption in real-time.
