OSOS & Communication Protocols

Protocols such as DLMS/COSEM, Modbus, and IEC 62056-21 poll load profiles, reactive energy, and voltage values. Cybersecurity and data integrity are essential at every node.

2

Loss Detection & Anomaly Tracking

Energy balance algorithms comparing transformer output against consumer meter totals instantly pinpoint unmetered losses or device tampering.

3

Streamlined Integration via SmartMeter Hub

SmartMeter Hub standardises disparate meter makes and models into a unified API layer connecting seamlessly to SCADA and enterprise ERP software.
