What is smart metering and control?
Smart meters, also known as smart metering, is a control system that allows to collect and analyze data in real time, on the measurement of the main variables of a business, both organizational and environmental performance, variables such as: portfolio, profitability of assets, consumption of energy, water or other resources. These devices and systems are connected through communication networks and provide detailed and accurate information on consumption, which is essential for making informed and efficient decisions.
Benefits
Smart metering applications
Smart metering has various applications in different sectors. Some examples include:
Energy sector
Smart metering is used to monitor and manage electricity consumption. It enables utilities to collect accurate data on their customers' energy consumption and offer customized solutions to reduce unnecessary consumption. It also facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources, measuring asset utilization and real-time demand management.
Water and gas industry
In the water and gas industry, smart metering is used to measure and control water consumption in real time. This allows water and gas utilities to identify leaks, detect pressure problems and optimize water distribution according to demand. It also helps users understand their consumption and take steps to reduce it.
3. Intelligent buildings
In the field of intelligent buildings, smart metering plays a key role in the efficient management of resources. It facilitates the identification of areas for improvement and the implementation of efficiency measures. It also contributes to the well-being of occupants by providing information on traffic, energy use and indoor air quality.
4. Transportation and logistics
In the transport and logistics sector, smart metering is used to optimize efficiency and reduce environmental impact. It allows monitoring fuel consumption, pollutant gas emissions and vehicle performance. This helps companies make informed decisions about routing, fleet maintenance and choosing the most efficient vehicles.
5. Financial
In the financial sector, smart metering is used to measure and control portfolio risk and customer profiling. This allows finance companies to identify risks and risks for clients, detect collection problems and optimize portfolio management and placement activities. It also helps users understand their income and expense balance and take steps to manage it.
6. Health
In the field of smart buildings, smart metering plays a key role in good patient experience. It allows the monitoring of service time, availability and physician occupancy, which facilitates the identification of areas for improvement and the implementation of efficiency measures to improve patient satisfaction.
Benefits of smart metering
With the integration of real-time business information, together with a strategic vision, it allows concentrating the focus of the organization’s efforts on issues relevant to the sustainability of the business and the environment.
Financial Health
Going beyond operational aspects, smart metering allows companies to understand their economic performance, foresee the causes of variation and detect opportunities. This gives them the opportunity to identify patterns of demand and productivity, identify areas for improvement and take action to achieve goals. By having a global vision, opportunities are identified with greater clarity and greater impact.
Better understanding of the customer
Smart measurement also applies to customer and employee satisfaction levels. By knowing the satisfaction performance and perception of experiences, it is possible to detect process failures, negative perceptions and take corrective actions in a timely manner. This not only helps to reduce costs, but also contributes to the preservation of the brand and company image, an increasingly important resource.
Informed decision making
Accurate and up-to-date data on resource consumption provides organizations with the ability to make informed decisions. Intelligent metering makes it possible to evaluate the performance of equipment and systems, identify areas for improvement and optimize operational efficiency. This translates into more strategic decision making and a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Reduction of environmental impact
One of the highlights of smart metering is its contribution to reducing environmental impact. By enabling more efficient use of resources, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, minimizes waste and promotes sustainability. This is especially relevant in a context where environmental protection is a global priority.
