SYNC Metering

Automated Meter Reading and Advanced Metering Infrastructure have become buzzwords in the Smart Grid space, with numerous pilots and implementations around the world, striving to provide efficient, responsive operations and savings to the consumer and operator alike. Such an advanced system calls for reliable, flexible and scalable products to meet varying system requirements and objectives. It is these very principles that Kalkitech's range of AMR/AMI SYNC products are based on, to deliver end to end security, interoperability and scalability.
Kalkitech also provides customization services on the products, as well as consultancy on product/ application design and OEM solutions.
At the heart of a AMR/AMI system is the smart meter. Kalkitech has code level as well as embedded level products that act to upgrade the meters to suit the advanced communication requirements of automated metering.
SYNC 500: Kalkitech's DLMS COSEM (IEC 62056) Source and Object Code Libraries are the world's most widely used metering protocol stack with implementation on over 50 meter platforms and on all major metering chips. The stack is attested by DLMS UA and is supported by DLMS pioneers and experts.

SYNC 600: Kalkitech's SYNC 600 series of MIC cards can be plugged into existing meter designs with minimal effort, to make it upgrade to the latest wireless as well as protocol technologies that are fast to become the norm in Smart Grid and AMR/ AMI implementations.
One of the most critical component of any AMR/ AMI is the metering Data Concentrator Unit. The DCU should not only support large storage capacity from numerous meters, it should also have enhanced security features, as well as interoperability with different meter and support for standard communication protocols. Metering DCUs today support different communication mediums including wired and wireless (RF, Zigbee, PLC) along with the latest application level protocols like DLMS/ COSEM and ANSI C12.19.
Kalkitech metering DCUs supports all these and more, with implementation experience on numerous technologies and architectures for large and small/ medium roll-outs.

The core benefit of an AMR/ AMI project is realized through the control center applications and systems. The central system operates based on automatic scheduled tasks as well as on manual intervention via Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). Configuration data, instantaneous process/ status values and profile/ historic information acquired from the meters are historically stored in a relational database. This database enables access from central system application software as well as from external systems and programs.
Kalkitech's products for control center include M2M gateways and meter data acquisition systems that take care of all the data aggregation and management, as well as network management and analysis. The application also provides numerous interfaces to communicate to other high-level applications like MDMS, billing, CRM/ ERP.
