The current dynamic world of smart grids and utilities is dependent on efficiency and decision-making, which cannot
occur without credible data collection and safe communication. Conventional metering systems are disadvantaged in
data accuracy, remote monitoring and security. We at AaensaTech have introduced Smart Data Concentrator Units (DCUs)
that operate on the Yocto environment, which allow for collecting data accurately, monitoring it in real-time, and
transmitting it safely to the next-generation energy management.
The Challenge
- Little transparency on distributed meters and consumption data.
- The danger of losing data or the slow pace of manual information gathering.
- Impracticality of real-time detection of tampering, anomalies or failures.
- Weak algorithms result in data traffic and delay in analysis.
- Deficiency of secure, flexible, and scalable grid integration networking.
Our Solution
AaensaTech’s Smart DCU is a high-tech embedded device that gathers, processes and transmits meter data over
low-power RF and cellular GSM (4G LTE, 2G) communication. The DCU supports accurate, secure and efficient flow
of data over meters to the central server with optimised firmware, secure TCP/IP protocols and real-time
monitoring, making it an ideal choice in smart grid applications.
Key Features & Capabilities
