The gas/water/heat metering market is facing many challenges in today’s rapidly evolving world. Government regulations, competitive forces, technology innovations and end customer expectations are fueling unprecedented changes in this market. Having a smart partner who can help you stay current and allow you to react quickly will be the difference between success and failure. Innovations in modern meter designs are being driven by extending battery life, improving flow measurement, or adding wireless connectivity for the smart grid. Our solutions are used in millions of meters worldwide. We understand the design challenges facing meter designers, whether it’s increasing meter accuracy and reliability while lowering total system cost or the addition of RF technologies and networking software.
Government regulations and the cost of building power generating systems are two forces driving a more efficient power distribution system. To achieve the goal of enabling the smart grid, an integrated system for power measurement, monitoring, communication and control is essential. This session presents Microchip's solutions from energy measurement devices through communications.
