Building smart energy devices: are you doing it right?
8 factors to consider when manufacturing IoT energy devices
Traditional power networks are changing and being transformed into smart grids by leveraging intelligent IoT infrastructure for energy distribution, measurement, and analysis. This transformation is being driven by companies manufacturing and selling innovative sensors, control systems, smart meters and other devices for the energy sector. If you are among these companies, you are seizing an important market opportunity.
With IoT-enabled sensors and devices, organisations can get the real-time data and insights they need to optimise infrastructure, reduce waste, and minimise their carbon footprint.
However, developing IoT products for the energy sector is not a straightforward proposition. Security issues, harsh environmental conditions and interoperability demands can all lead to dramatic time-to-market delays. To be effective, IoT solutions for energy management need to have the user-friendliness of consumer solutions, combined with the high standards of quality of traditional systems – that is, they must be highly accurate, reliable and secure.
In this whitepaper we will take a deep dive into some specific challenges that companies who are manufacturing and shipping energy smart meters, connected monitoring devices, gateways and other IoT energy devices might face. We’ll highlight best practices for addressing these challenges, and how relying on software experts can help keep down costs while accelerating time-to-market. Finally, we’ll examine a real world use case with EpiSensor, a manufacturer successfully delivering smart devices for the sustainable energy transition.
