Software Solutions for Smarter Grids, Meters and Cities

MicroEJ helps the energy and utilities industries lay out the path for future growth and development with state-of-the-art software solutions for embedded systems that increase opportunities to create value based on data, insights, and services.

MicroEJ is dedicated to providing advanced technologies to enable the development of safer, more reliable, more robust and more resilient IoT devices for the energy and utility markets, all while minimizing risks and total cost of ownership.

Optimal security, reliable connectivity, software reuse and remote maintenance on a large fleet of energy devices are only examples of the benefits brought by MicroEJ software solutions for smarter grids and meters.

Energy and Utilities

More Flexible and More Intelligent Grids and Utility Applications

Build Secure and Robust Software for Smart Energy Devices

MicroEJ combines security and flexibility as it provides application sandboxing, meaning software applications stay isolated from each other.
Device robustness is guaranteed at execution thanks to code validation and real time execution checking for reliable smart meters, gateways and communication subsystems.

Enable Customization of Devices Servicing Smart Metering, Smart Grid, and Smart Cities

Smart Meters require increasing customization to better meet the needs of evolving grid infrastructures and RFP specific requirements.
Thanks to MicroEJ, OEMs can create and deploy tailor-made applications on their smart meters, gateways or communication modules to enhance energy management for utilities and consumers at a lower cost.
To develop specific features, they can rely on a community of over 10 million developers, and even open a custom app marketplace to enable new software deployment strategies and generate new revenue streams.

 

Create a sustainable and flexible Cloud connectivity

The network architectures of IoT are intrinsically heterogeneous, that includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular LTE CatM/NB-IoT, etc.
MicroEJ tackles the interoperability challenge by its capabilities to integrate dedicated protocols such as DLMS/COSEM, or generic ones, such as LWM2M or MQTT, to enable easy bi-directional communications between your IoT devices (smart lamps, smart meters, etc.) and to the cloud.
These plug and play IoT connector components can be either installed on communication modules, or at the heart of the electronics themselves, depending on your chosen architecture.

 

Facilitate your smart grid and meter maintenance over time

MicroEJ supports advanced software content management with over-the-air (OTA) applications updates that ensure continuity of service, saves bandwidth at deployment time, and greatly limits the need for costly firmware updates.
Smart Grids and meters are therefore more resilient and more reliable, as they can be maintained and updated over time to keep up with infrastructure evolution and technological innovations.
