The NIS2 directive requires owners and operators of electric and multi-utilities to include their OT networks in risk management procedures and risk analysis. The target is to determine the risk exposure of their critical processes and define appropriate mitigation measures. And this is for good reason, as the results of our vulnerability assessments at IOUs, municipal as well as public utilities highlight.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way we interact with the world by embedding intelligence into everyday objects and enabling seamless communication between devices.Our Landis+Gyr webinar discussed key aspects of IoT, including its definition, communication methods, typical use cases, and Landis+Gyr's contributions to this transformative field.
In today's technologically advanced world, smart water metering is revolutionizing how consumers interact with and manage their water usage. This innovative approach goes beyond the simple recording of water consumption, it empowers individuals by providing them with detailed insights into their water use patterns, enabling them to identify inefficiencies, conserve resources, and potentially lower the bills.
In the age of data-driven decision making, industries are constantly looking for innovative ways to use information for efficiency and sustainability. The water distribution sector is no exception. Traditional water meters have long served their purpose in measuring consumption for billing purposes, but the advent of smart water meters has ushered in a new era of optimization and insight. These advanced meters are not only revolutionizing billing processes, but also providing a wealth of real-time data that can transform distribution networks and curb water loss.
Smart meter rollouts require efficient project management and handy tools for planning and scheduling tasks and monitoring their progress. With at times hundreds of thousands of meters about to be installed, procedures and processes need to be clear to avoid errors, superfluous site revisits and wasted investments. Here’s where our Field Operations Manager (FOM) software comes into play: FOM supports the efficient management of the rollout, by digitalizing and formalizing the installation process. It provides advanced tools both for installation planning as well as job flows for actual work in the field.
Almost four years ago, Austrian utility Netz Burgenland Strom has commissioned us to supply and deploy smart electricity meters – as one of the country’s first distribution system operators to commit to a full-scale G3 PLC smart metering solution rollout.
