Finpro, the official Finnish export and investment promotion agency, is bringing together IOT and smart utility experts to showcase the latest global trends and innovation in renewable energy solutions at RWM, Energy, Water and Renewables event on stand G36-H39 at the NEC from the 13-14th of September 2016. Avarea, BaseN, Distence, Ionsign, Refecor and Wirepas will be showcasing their technologies in big data, analytics, asset management, M2M and gamification.
Efficient smart grid 2.0 infrastructure
Finland has relentlessly developed its electricity distribution domain and many smart grid functionalities – AMR, load profiling, real-time billing, remote control and monitoring – are already implemented in the current system. The level of automation and ICT systems in network operation is high, and large-scale implementations of advanced AMR systems have opened up new possibilities to develop network management and the electricity market. Finland is also home to the world’s biggest single IoT mesh network, which enables smart devices to connect automatically without any configuration, infrastructure or third-party networks.
Capitalise your Knowledge, a Growth Program run by the official Finnish export and investment promotion agency Finpro, brings together Finnish companies in the field of Big Data and IoT, helping to improve energy efficiency – in a smart way.
