Siemens launches smart metering cloud service

Siemens (China) announced recently that it will use its cloud service platform in its smart grid field to bring Siemens high-quality, innovative smart metering services to SME customers at a lower price. With this latest innovation, Siemens has successfully signed the first real estate customer, Tianjin Okay. Siemens will provide its commercial buildings with end-to-end smart metering solutions based on Siemens cloud services.

Smart metering is the foundation of smart grid construction. Compared with large-scale public utility companies, SME customers have a limited number of users and do not have the financial strength to independently invest and build a full set of smart metering systems. The application of the cloud service platform eliminates the need for customers to invest funds in IT infrastructure and complex smart metering applications, and does not need to bear the associated operational management costs. The customer only needs to purchase the corresponding smart metering cloud service according to the quantity of metering points, and can share the benefits brought by economies of scale with other customers. In this way, SME customers can also enjoy the advanced services that can only be realized by relying on huge asset investments, including data security, real-time measurement, time-of-use pricing, remote on-off, automatic billing, and user interaction.

In the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, Siemens continuously contributes sustainable benefits to various stakeholders through its advanced smart metering technology. It can help users to increase their awareness of their power consumption, improve the transparency of electricity consumption, thereby optimizing electricity consumption behavior, and help suppliers to automate the integration of metering and billing processes, including metering, billing, and equipment management. Customer satisfaction survey. In addition, smart metering technology can minimize the possibility of bill disputes and reduce operational management costs.

As the only global supplier capable of providing comprehensive solutions, Siemens' business covers the entire energy conversion chain and can provide smart grid solutions ranging from intelligent power generation, intelligent power transmission, intelligent power distribution, and intelligent power consumption.

The efficient smart grid solution is part of Siemens' portfolio of environmental-related businesses.
