Remote monitoring systems have become a standard feature for many resource providers, utility management companies, and condominiums. In this article, we will discuss the JOOBY ELECTRA MTX smart meters, a solution for remote energy metering and detail the advantages provided by this new approach to remote energy metering.
Modern technology significantly simplifies energy consumption tracking, allowing organizations to automate a number of processes and gain additional capabilities. Using smart devices, providers, utility companies, and condominium managers can solve several tasks at once:
Metering electricity infrastructure consists of the following components:
Smart meters automatically record readings at a preset frequency and transmit them via a radio channel to base stations. Each base station receives signals from dozens of meters, converts them into data, before sending it to a server. Electricity suppliers access the data using utility management software. These energy optimization solutions mean that providers don’t waste time searching for specific components and having to configure them – the entire system will be ready to run out-of-the-box and is simply deployed to a project.
Smart grid technology will not only make electricity metering more advanced and convenient, but will also allow providers to:
Enhance analytics and forecasting capabilities. Automatic energy monitoring gives providers comprehensive data that can be used to analyze and forecast energy consumption, helping utility companies plan more efficiently and develop more favorable tariffs. It also helps management companies optimize energy use in apartment and office buildings.
JOOBY ELECTRA MTX meters are installed in dry locations. You can set a convenient data transmission interval during installation, while installation itself only takes around 10 minutes.
The meter is equipped with an integrated LoRaWAN module, activated after the meter is connected to the network. If the meter is not automatically logged in the system it can be registered in the base station using the mobile application.
The meter records electricity consumption and the built-in radio module transmits the readings via a LoRaWAN wireless network according to the set schedule: the data is first sent to the base stations and then to the resource provider’s server. The data is converted into a convenient format on the server and made available in the software.
Remote electricity metering using smart meters allows providers, condominiums, and utility companies to enhance the efficiency of data collection, get comprehensive analytical data, improve user convenience, and reduce operating costs. Due to built-in radio modules, JOOBY ELECTRA MTX smart meters provide access to energy management technology: providers can remotely control meter functionality and even cut off electricity to subscribers if required. The implementation of these technologies helps to improve service quality, optimize energy consumption, and enhance analytical capabilities.
