Standards are the foundation for a successful and sustainable system landscape. Today, this foundation is still missing in most utilities, since it was not mandatory according to past requirements, i.e. structures must be adjusted or newly built; processes and workflows must be redefined, implemented and tested.

In order to optimally support this process, we now already offer the 3rd generation of Smart Meter Gateways. Our CONEXA 3.0 is fully standardised and interoperable with downstream systems. In our agile development process, we cooperate with leading suppliers of gateway administration systems. This creates a powerful and interoperable overall system, which is optimally suited for today’s and future requirements of a modern energy market.

Standardisation enables various companies to contribute their individual strengths to the solution, and thus to enhance the overall system. The definition and implementation of market standards pays off in the long run. Not only the development speed increases, but also the number of the available solutions. Theben customers expect that they will not have to deal with a completely new product philosophy every year. And they expect an innovative, sophisticated, and carefully developed device concept, which is oriented at customers‘ needs. This is what we stand for as a premium manufacturer.
