Landis+Gyr, a world leader in energy management systems, and MicroEJ, a leading developer of software containers for IoT and embedded devices, have announced a partnership to enhance the app development environment for the next generation of smart meters. As a result of this partnership, a digital infrastructure for improved and more environmentally friendly energy management will be put in place.
MicroEJ Virtual Execution Environment offers an app operating system for Landis+Gyr’s Revelo® meter through creative software containerization. Revelo is a very precise sensor and facilitates software applications for grid-edge decision-making because of its distinctive waveform sampling.
The fact that Frost & Sullivan has recognized Landis+Gyr as the 2022 Global AMI Company of the Year demonstrates the significance of this platform and its potential to significantly alter the way utilities are managed.
To meet rising consumer expectations for immediate, individualized, and secure energy management, utilities must improve their grid-edge customer service skills.
MicroEJ-based grid and user apps that improve grid administration and user involvement are made possible by Revelo.
- Improved grid resilience and dependability thanks to applications that use the grid
- Improved customer experience with end-user use tracking at the appliance level
- Assistance with the integration and supervision of dispersed energy resources
In the words of Todd Bushey, Vice President of Technologies at Landis+Gyr, “The next generation of meter technologies represents a key next step for energy management. Revelo and its associated utility IoT platform that supports edge intelligence and sensor capabilities give utilities and customers the tools they need to succeed. We are able to offer a powerful platform for app enablement and extension in the future because of the flexibility of the MicroEJ environment.
MicroEJ CEO Fred Rivard affirms, “MICROEJ VEE flagship software containers power the digital transformation of future-proof energy meters to an unparalleled degree, improving services and energy management throughout a smart meter’s lifetime.” By providing a sustainable and cost-effective foundation for future expansion, this turnkey solution facilitates the adaptation of smart meter applications to meet the specific requirements of individual consumers.
MicroEJ will showcase the Revelo product platform at the 2023 CES Unveiled on January 3, and at the Venetian Expo Booth #52339 at CES, which runs from January 5th through the 8th.
