Energy management networks (electricity, gas, and water) and home automation are currently going through major changes in order to keep up with the diversification of needs of industrial, business and private consumers.
This includes:
- An increasing number of smart devices dedicated to security
- An increasing rate of energy consumption which requires predictive follow-up for better control and cost reduction
- The emergence of electric vehicles
- The integration of renewable energy sources
The current challenge revolves around designing new equipment that will increase the flexibility and efficiency of networks (smart grid), sensors (index, detector, temperature, humidity, GPS, badge reader, etc.) concentrators / gateways, and information systems (networks, database, follow-up and management applications) which includes information retrieval for the end-user (remote management, follow-up/BI).

Our energy management expertise
Pentalog’s expertise with energy management relies on our engineers’ skills and experience in developing both IT and electronic solutions and therefore covers the entire network, from production to use, supervision and management:
- Information gathering: metering (electricity, gas, water etc.), sensors (information encoding and transmission) and alarms (decoding meter and sensor alarms)
- Information transmission: sensor and gateway firmware development, gateway-type local application development and encoding/decoding frames (Wavenis, GSM etc.)
- Information operations: alarm follow-up and processing, sensor management, subscription management, billing, business intelligence (consumption follow-up, forecasts, etc.)
- Related services: testing end-to-end chain solutions
Pentalog has supported several major US and European companies in the energy management (metering) and home automation industries at different network levels.
We have already implemented high-performance solutions that have increased productivity and reduced time-to-market for our clients.
These solutions include: smart grid supervision applications (development and maintenance), firmware maintenance (sensors, gateways) and mobile applications to manage sensors and monitor energy consumption.
