Use case

Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI)

AMI enable operations such as remote meter read, remote meter connect/disconnect, power outage auto-detection, thus improving grid operation efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Distribution Automation

Distribution Automation (DA) reduces costs and improves reliability by embedding intelligence in the electric distribution grid. DA solutions enhance monitoring, control, automation, and management of the medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) grids, from the distribution substation to the meters: Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI), System Virtualization, Workforce Automation.
