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.

Key Benefits

  • support active distribution network management
  • support the extension to use of microgeneration and electric vehicle charging
  • understand customer usage patterns to manage demand and peak usage periods through demand side management mechanisms and advanced tariff-plans and new services that reflect customer usage
  • improve customer service and operational savings through increased efficiencies (including the network planning, maintenance and operation)
  • reduce cost-to-serve for utilities by decreasing non-technical losses, customer complaints and customer debt
