The new generation MDM solution
The Challenge
Smart Meters are enablers of Smart Grids.
They will become the norm over the next few
years as an answer to the challenges posed by
climate change and regulators. They will facilitate
suppliers with more information and consumers
with more choice. This will create opportunities to
streamline operations, improve quality of service
and customer engagement.
Meanwhile, their adoption will pose new
challenges like:
- many manufacturers; many protocols; few
standards
- new types of data including: load profiles,
events, quality of service (QoS), configurations,
firmware versions
- huge volumes of events and soft real time data
- integration on the utility Smart Grid path (like
micro generation and electric vehicles).
Our Answer
Sm@rtering is a new generation MDM solution
developed by Logica. It offers data collection,
energy data management (EDM), supervision
and smart grid capabilities on an integrated
platform.
Our solution is web-based with a user friendly
interface, developed using market standards,
and modern, flexible technologies. It allows
utilities to rapidly adapt to the new business
environment and to integrate water, gas
and electricity meters as well as residential,
commercial and industrial C&I clients.
Sm@rtering can be readily implemented in
multiple geographies.
