// Industry

IoT for the energy transition.

Smart grids, distributed renewables, EV charging, energy storage — the energy sector runs on real-time data, predictable connectivity and 25-year asset lifecycles.

// Sector challenges

The realities of IoT in energy.

Generic connected solutions don't survive contact with the field. Successful deployments take sector-specific constraints seriously from day one.

/01

Grid complexity

Renewable generation, distributed storage, EV charging and demand response turn the grid into a bidirectional, dynamic system requiring real-time monitoring.

/02

Mission-critical reliability

Energy infrastructure cannot fail. IoT deployments must meet the highest availability and cybersecurity standards (NIS2, NERC CIP, IEC 62443).

/03

Regulatory complexity

Energy data is heavily regulated. Compliance with national grid codes, meter certification and data privacy obligations is non-negotiable.

/04

Long-distance deployments

Wind farms, substations, transmission lines, oil & gas assets — energy infrastructure spans vast, often remote areas requiring rugged, autonomous connectivity.

// Use cases

A non-exhaustive sample of projects we design, prototype, manufacture and support for energy clients.

/01

Smart metering

Certified meter electronics, secure communications, and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) platforms for utilities.

/02

Substation & grid monitoring

Real-time voltage, current and asset health monitoring; fault detection and predictive maintenance for transformers and switchgear.

/03

Renewable energy management

Performance monitoring for solar farms and wind turbines; production forecasting; remote O&M support.

/04

EV charging infrastructure

Connected chargers with OCPP support, load balancing, payment integration and grid-aware operation.

/05

Demand response & flexibility

Aggregation of distributed assets (batteries, HVAC, EVs) to provide grid services and revenue.

// Recommended stack

Technology choices that fit the sector.

Every layer of the connected stack tuned to the specific demands of energy.

Edge

Certified meter electronics, industrial-grade gateways, ATEX-compliant variants where needed

Connectivity

Cellular (LTE-M / NB-IoT / 4G), PLC (Power Line Communication), private LoRaWAN, satellite for remote sites

Security

Hardware security modules, certificate-based authentication, compliance with IEC 62443

Cloud & Apps

SCADA integration, head-end systems, demand response platforms, predictive analytics

// Business value

Higher grid reliability, faster integration of renewables, lower operational costs, regulatory compliance and new revenue streams from flexibility services.
