Our multi-protocol industrial LTE Cat.4, Cat.1, Cat.M gateways  can be used in many different verticals such as smart grids, building or factory automations, fleet management, security systems, etc., but some are designed for specific applications such as substation management.

There is a growing trend in industrial IoT towards the edge as is the case in many technologies. Our Linux-based routers offer the possibility of Cloud computing functionalities, as users can develop their own apps to run on them.

Data concentrators (also known as DCUs) play an important role in industrial data (IIoT) applications. Data are collected and aggregated from several industrial devices, which are then sent to the data center or the central monitoring system. The data concentrator is part of the modern AMI infrastructure (Automated Metering Infrastructure) and the backbone of industrial automation projects.

The versatile devices that can be mounted on a DIN rail have Ethernet, RS232, RS485 ports, digital inputs, Modbus RTU/Modbus TCP Gateway, Mbus or wireless M-Bus functions for industrial data collection and automation purposes. Data transmission can be done via an RS485 connection or the usage of the wireless mobile network. Even using a single router or data concentrator (DCU) is a very cost-effective solution for collecting data from industrial devices, energy meters (electricity, water, gas, sensors) or for monitoring devices.

These products are primarily intended for places that require high availability and for professional purposes – e.g. we recommend to use for members of production and industry, maintenance and service providers.

Our data concentrators can be connected to all kinds of industrial equipment. We offer customization of our products making it possible

IoT SWITCHES

Remote Control Solutions for Public Street Lighting

The option to remotely control public lighting systems is extremely beneficial. Besides providing better lighting service to citizens, it allows operators to optimize maintenance and energy costs.

Our products allow the automated remote control of a public street lighting system by on-demand operation, scheduled switching, or manual control, On/Off power dimming, and sophisticated programming.

We offer products that, when installed inside the existing feeder pillar cabinets, can control street lights by controlling the supplied power to the street light power cable(s).  The lights can also be dimmed by lowering the supply voltage. The groups of street lights can be controlled according to reference light sensor(s), by clock and calendar, or manually through a management platform.

Operate the lighting system by remote relay control of the street lamps through the switching cabinet. Configure, manage, and monitor your lamps groups from the head-end (HES) center. Features include monitoring, supervision, and reports.

LOAD MANAGEMENT

Load management is the process of controlling the demand for electricity in order to avoid overloading the grid.

In the context of public street light management, load management can be used to reduce the energy consumption of street lights by dimming them or turning them off during low-traffic hours. This can be done through the use of timers, sensors, or other automated systems.

Beyond just power measurement, there are now essential tools for power quality monitoring, control, scheduling analysis, and the security monitoring. Most electricity meters do not contain switchable relays or do not support remote switching.

Protect your investment! No need to change the currently used meters.

Adding a feature to smart meters which allows the utility and DSO to remotely turn connected devices on/off is a cost effective way to deal with this challenge.

Grid management can also be used to integrate solar farms into the grid. Solar farms generate electricity during the day, when demand is typically lower. By managing the load on the grid, utilities can ensure that solar power is used efficiently and that the grid remains stable.

Load control programs are a type of load management that is implemented by utilities. These programs allow utilities to control the electricity consumption of certain customers during peak demand hours. This can be done by offering financial incentives to customers who agree to reduce their electricity use, or by remotely controlling appliances or devices.

Load management is an important tool for reducing energy consumption and improving the reliability of the power grid. It is a key part of the transition to a clean energy future.

You can extend your Smart Metering Infrastructure with IoT Switched for a complete Grid Management.

Here are some specific examples of grid management programs for utilities and DSOs:

  • Public street light management: In many cities, street lights are dimmed or turned off during the early morning and late evening hours when traffic is low. This can save a significant amount of energy.
  • Solar farms: Utilities can use load management to ensure that solar power is used efficiently and that the grid remains stable. For example, utilities may dim street lights or turn them off during the day when solar power is abundant.
  • Load control: Utilities may offer financial incentives to customers who agree to reduce their electricity use during peak demand hours. For example, a utility may offer a rebate to customers who agree to turn off their air conditioners during the hottest hours of the day.

ALARM TRANSMITTERS
