Innologix MDM is a comprehensive and configuration cloud based platform for the meter data management. It is a tool to manage the data life cycle as well as meter life cycle. It can manage both real time as well as periodic data. It is an open system which can be integrated with multiple head-end systems bi-directionally. It can be used to get all types of sensor data and is not restricted to electrical parameters only. It can work in both manual and automatic meter reading scenario. It has features of network formula to be used for calculations and energy accounting.
Challenges
MDM systems have been an important component of utility systems. Traditionally, the functionalities of MDM were VEE (Validation, Estimation and Editing). Now of course, MDM go much beyond VEE. The organizations seek a system which can meet all of their meter data needs under one single platform. They also need scalable and ready-to deploy platforms.
An important thing about MDM is that is not just the data base where the date coming from the meter can be stored; It is rather a business data platform which provide data to the relevant business applications such as billing, forecasting, portfolio management, network management, simulation etc.
