The challenge:
Minimising the number of types of meters and readings
The Smart Energy division of sustainable energy operator Croonwolter&dros has experienced rapid growth since 2018 and had to streamline the number of systems and partners to be able to work efficiently.
"With the increase in the number of projects, we also saw an increase in the number of heat meters and types of readings", explains Edwin Normann, Smart Energy Manager at Croonwolter&dros. "Different meter data from different companies, each in its own format and method. That is unworkable in practice. We wanted one preferred supplier to prevent a large growth in the number of systems."
Croonwolter&dros' second request was for a system with a more open data structure. Edwin Normann: "We receive data from other suppliers in the format they have available. You have what you have and that's that. But, we want to work with the data indefinitely without having to submit a request every time. That's possible with Kamstrup. With READy, Kamstrup has a transparent, reliable and secure data system. In brief, we needed uniformity and an open structure. We explored the market and found Kamstrup. Since then, two projects have now confirmed that this choice is the right one."
