Pegasus and Spider: Advanced Solutions for Smart Metering and Grid Management
Andrea Informatique has been a pioneer in hardware design for over a decade, consistently driving innovation within the smart metering industry. Over the past eight years, we have focused on delivering fully integrated smart metering solutions that address the growing needs of the energy sector.
One of our flagship products is Pegasus, a state-of-the-art smart meter designed with G3 Hybrid technology. Pegasus offers robust communication capabilities and ensures reliable data collection and transfer, even in complex network environments. Its advanced design not only facilitates seamless integration into smart grid infrastructures but also supports future-proof scalability, making it ideal for utility providers focused on efficiency and sustainability.
Alongside Pegasus, Spider serves as a powerful data concentrator, specifically engineered for managing large-scale data across smart metering networks. Incorporating the same G3 Hybrid technology, Spider enhances grid management by efficiently consolidating data from various sources, allowing for real-time monitoring and intelligent decision-making. With additional features such as LoRaWAN compatibility, Ethernet support, and robust power management, Spider provides a flexible and scalable solution for utilities aiming to optimize their infrastructure.
Together, Pegasus and Spider represent the next generation of smart grid solutions, offering utilities the tools they need to manage energy distribution with precision, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
ANDREA Informatique’s Expertise in DLMS
Our extensive experience in design and prototyping has allowed us to experiment with the use of various microcontrollers (MCUs). Through this process, we have established a robust reference platform that supports the development of smart meters and data concentrators under the most favorable conditions. This platform not only streamlines our development process but also ensures that the solutions we deliver are both innovative and reliable.
At Andrea Informatique, our unwavering goal is to identify and utilize high-performance MCUs that offer ample resources for future upgrades, all while maintaining a focus on cost-efficiency. This forward-thinking strategy is applied across all aspects of our product design, including metrology, relays, transformers, displays, and other critical components within the meter. We believe that optimizing costs in these areas not only benefits our clients but also contributes to the overall sustainability of smart metering solutions.
We understand the pressures faced by meter providers in today’s changing market. The introduction of new regulations and the imposition of stringent requirements by utilities have forced many companies to rethink their strategies, particularly when it comes to cost optimization. Andrea Informatique is perfectly positioned to support these companies through our deep market knowledge and the advanced modules and technologies we offer.
Furthermore, the global acceptance of key technologies such as G3-PLC, DLMS COSEM, and IDIS underscores the importance of developing high-performance hardware solutions. These technologies are now recognized standards in the smart metering sector, and staying competitive requires a commitment to excellence in hardware design. Our customers are fully aware of these challenges, and they rely on Andrea Informatique to help them navigate this complex landscape and deliver products that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
