netVendor Smart Management System
​
netVendor Smart is an intelligent metering solution which provides an effective data collection layer between the smart meter infrastructure and the utility’s billing and management system. The system enables secure, reliable communication to the metering infrastructure.
​
The system provides not only standard smart metering information but also advanced features to support monitoring of entire reticulation systems via a Google Maps™ based GIS platform. Load balancing and power quality information can be provided allowing the system to send alarms on interruptions, tampering and failures. Additionally, it can be used to manage the load on the grid through advanced load control technology. At its core the system is built for efficient communication and network management, providing transparent information on the system status and efficient tools for troubleshooting.
