Therefore, whether we are talking about hardware or firmware, all our solutions are future-proof, which means they are built to last. Their future-proof value is demonstrated by incorporating these primary areas: accessibility and system improvements, multi-utility environments, and end-to-end processes.
In the past twenty years, we went through several evolutions, progressing from smart to smarter and now intelligent meters. Our meters are the foundation of the solution and a building block upon which we create the communication technologies that our software suite utilizes to transfer accurate data. The aim of the process is to optimize and improve the grid, and gain better grid insights.
Following a period of collaboration and exchange of expertise, the Iskraemeco team managed to create a successful solution that incorporates what is the definition of a built-to-last platform. Crafted for the next 10 to 15 years, the advanced and modular IE.X platform solves all field challenges with four main offerings.
New solution, new platform, new era of metering – recognized through the use of intelligent metering!
What does our IE.X portfolio offer?
- Modularity
The main value lies in providing the needed requirements to tweak or coming up with the solutions for customers. Our eIoT platform tailors our products and services to meet the individual needs of each customer. Our product portfolio also caters to requirements at every possible scale, from simple residential meters all the way up to advanced, industrial scale measuring systems, and everything in between. That is why IE.X has been developed using a highly flexible modular approach applied on the smart meters` hardware and software layers. - Connectivity
Communication technologies require constant amendment, which means we need to keep up with the evolution. We already support the latest communication technologies – such as NB-IoT, CAT-M and LTE-M – through M2M connectivity and offer full backward compatibility with 2G, 3G, and 4G, with an up-to-date security. With our eIoT platform, connectivity gradually transitions to 5G. It is happening all over the world, but what is the current rate of adoption? The new demand is centered on LTE-M, also known as CAT-M. We are on the verge of using CAT-M technologies in smart devices. The advanced technologies like NB-IoT are already used in water and gas sensors for data transfers. Water and gas meters, on the other hand, are expected to change, which is important in order to choose the most suitable technology. - Scalability
We can easily add new functionalities to quickly react to market needs. This is done through the architecture of the platform which allows us to deliver products with specific features that can be easily scaled for various applications. These are puzzled perfectly
together to serve the RSA, RSM, and C&I + Grid segments with scalable hardware and an embedded software architecture (eMOS). - Sustainability
For the past five years, we have been driving the trend and we can safely say we can offer professional consultations on this topic. Product footprint is one of the primary drivers in product development, as is design and the introduction of new technologies. IE.X is distinguished by its low power consumption and a design that influences the overall cost of the meters, as well as optimized logistics services. The meter is made of recyclable materials, making it simple to disassemble at the end of its lifecycle.
