The Use of AMR and SCADA Allows for Automation of Electricity Metering
IEK GROUP has long been involved in the issue of reducing electricity consumption at enterprises and has its own technological solutions for this task. General Director of the company Andrey Zabelin said that an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system is used to control electricity consumption. And combined with automation and dispatching systems built on MasterSCADA software products and the Industrial Internet of Things, the company's solution allows collecting data on electricity consumers in real-time.
"I can give an example from practice: not long ago, our specialists together with partners installed a comprehensive energy consumption metering system based on AMR at one of the resource-intensive production facilities in the nuclear industry. The system allowed planning energy consumption and using production capacities more efficiently, reducing electricity costs by 20% through the use of different tariffs. Considering the scale of the enterprise, this is a significant indicator," said Andrey Zabelin.
