SOLUTION FOR ENERGY UTILITIES
Group Link One turns mechanical meters already installed in the field into IoT meters, connected to our platform. The utility automates reading, monitors every meter continuously, and gets ahead of fraud and non-technical losses.
THE INDUSTRY'S CHALLENGE
Energy utilities live with two structural problems that hit the bottom line: non-technical losses, which include fraud, theft and clandestine connections, and the cost of conventional reading, prone to error, delay and field routes.
Without continuous consumption data, the utility reacts to the problem after it's already happened, hurting billing, the relationship with the regulator, and the consumer experience.
Theft, clandestine connections and meter tampering account for a relevant volume of unbilled energy.
In-person reading routes concentrate operating cost and are prone to human error and billing delay.
Without continuous data, it's hard to spot demand patterns, anomalous peaks and critical points in time.
Meter or communication failures go unnoticed between reading cycles, causing disputes and rework.
GL UTILITIES ENERGY
GL Utilities Energy devices install easily on existing energy meters and turn conventional reading into a continuous consumption history. The utility gains point-by-point visibility of its installed park, with alarms for anomalies and direct integration into its own systems.
Data reaches the platform with no in-person reading route, cutting field cost, human error and billing delay.
The platform flags absent consumption, meter communication failures and deviations from each point's historical pattern.
Each meter's consumption becomes a queryable history, the basis for comparing, projecting and auditing the energy network.
PLATFORM MANAGEMENT
The Energy Web Platform concentrates reading, reports, device health and role-based access control, so the utility can operate its whole installed park in one place.
Latest reading by date, current meter reading, device inventory and activation history.
Average consumption, peak time and day-by-day consumption for the last 30 days of each metering point.
Classification by tags, grouping and tag updates for multiple devices.
Map navigation and separation between points with and without communication in the last 72 hours.
Role-based control (admin, local admin, user, viewer and installer), with distinct permissions.
Auditable data supports regulatory requirements and the operator's efficiency goals.
ACTIVE MONITORING
The platform tracks every metering point and flags the conditions that deserve attention. The list below reflects the alarms applicable to energy.
Detects a prolonged absence of consumption, which may indicate a stalled device, fraud, or a jammed meter.
Detects devices that stopped sending readings, indicating a possible communication failure, critical battery, or an inoperative device.
Detects when a device's daily consumption deviates significantly from its own historical pattern, indicating a possible leak, fraud, reading failure, or behavior change.
GAINS FOR THE OPERATION
Energy telemetry reinvents the internal operation, from billing to the consumer experience.
Data reaches the platform with no in-person reading route, cutting field cost, human error and billing delays.
Absent consumption and pattern deviations are flagged early, supporting the response to non-technical losses.
Consumption history reduces discrepancies and disputes tied to inaccurate or delayed readings.
Point-by-point consumption reveals demand patterns and critical points that monthly reading doesn't show.
The consumption app brings the user closer to their own spending, reducing disputes and calls.
Auditable data supports regulatory requirements and the operator's efficiency targets.
CONNECTION WITH YOUR SYSTEMS
The solution doesn't replace the utility's infrastructure, it connects to it through two paths.
For those who won't integrate with their own systems, the Energy Web Platform delivers complete consumption management.
Consumption data flow to the utility's systems, for proactive action on faults and anomalies.
Scheduled periodic export to storage and the operator's billing and management systems.
