Smart Metering and Energy Smart Home

FOCUS ON: AWS, Internet of Things, smart home,

Reply’s experience encompasses the entire “value chain” of Smart Metering projects aimed at energy and water distribution companies, as well as of Energy Monitoring projects for energy sales companies and energy aggregators. This includes every aspect connected to the installation of smart meters, sensors and data gateways/concentrators, as well as the implementation and integration of data acquisition and management systems based on the new IoT platforms. The adoption of these new technologies enables energy distributors, energy sales companies and energy aggregators to develop new IoT solutions, new data-focused analytical capabilities and new services.

Energy Awareness & OptimizationToday, Smart Metering solutions use a number of different communication networks: PLC communication, GSM/3G/4G, RF 169 MHz and 868 MHz, NB_IoT, etc.), as well as a wide variety of protocols.

Sense Reply designs and implements new IoT Smart Metering solutions based on the components of the AWS platform, to collect data and manage second generation electricity, gas and water smart meters in their respective distribution networks. Intelligent metering IoT platforms are also capable of communicating using OCPP protocols, interacting with widely available commercial charging stations and supporting the implementation of new electric mobility applications.

The IoT platform used for intelligent measurement will become the ideal tool for managing Smart Grids: any node that is part of the distribution network (distribution points, secondary substations, etc.) will be able to communicate the status of numerous management parameters and variables, thus allowing the operator to effectively plan and optimise the operation and management of the distribution network.

Sense Reply has collaborated and partnered with some of the leading producers of Smart Metering systems, supporting their technological evolution, together with the integration of meters and concentrators within the IoT platform, for a comprehensive end-to-end turnkey approach.

Sense Reply assists energy sales companies in developing and expanding their services from the Smart Home to the Energy Smart Home.
