Electricity Smart Meters
Powering the future of smart grids with accurate and secure electricity metering
Andrea Informatique has established itself as a trusted partner in the development and integration of electricity smart metering solutions over the past 15 years. The company has actively contributed to numerous pilot projects in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, working hand-in-hand with utilities and meter manufacturers to ensure interoperability, scalability, and compliance with international standards.
Our ongoing collaborations include supporting utilities in defining specifications, designing prototypes, and carrying out extensive conformance and interoperability tests before large-scale deployment. At the same time, Andrea works closely with meter providers to co-design innovative devices that address the evolving challenges of today’s electricity market and anticipate future demands.
Within this ecosystem, Andrea Informatique has invested heavily in R&D and innovation. The company provides modular communication stacks, DLMS/COSEM libraries, and advanced test suites, enabling manufacturers to accelerate the development of reliable, cost-efficient meters. With this approach, Andrea not only empowers meter providers but also ensures utilities benefit from solutions that are robust, interoperable, and future-ready.
DLMS & Interoperability
Smart electricity metering is built on standards — and DLMS/COSEM is at the heart of our approach. Andrea ensures:
