Gas Smart Meters

Powering the future of smart grids with accurate and secure gas metering

Andrea Informatique has been actively involved in the development of smart gas metering solutions for over 15 years, combining deep expertise in DLMS/COSEM and M-BUS communication protocols. Our mission is to provide utilities and manufacturers with reliable, secure, and interoperable technologies that meet the growing regulatory and operational demands of the gas industry.

Andrea has contributed to numerous multi-energy pilot projects across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, supporting utilities and meter providers throughout every stage — from specification and prototyping to testing and deployment. This long-term experience allows us to deliver end-to-end solutions that simplify integration, reduce costs, and accelerate time to market.

DLMS & Standards

Smart gas metering requires strong, unified standards to ensure interoperability and scalability. Andrea has been pioneering the application of DLMS/COSEM to gas metering, while maintaining full compatibility with M-BUS and Wireless M-BUS infrastructures.
