Itron Unveils Active Smart Grid Analytics Solution for Rapid Deployment [Manufacturing Close - Up]

(Manufacturing Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Itron, Inc. announced that it has released its first set of specialized analytic software applications built on the Active Smart Grid Analytics (ASA) platform.

In a release on Jan. 24, the company said each application is bundled with Itron's Analytic Accelerators and Extension Toolkits, which help utilities take full advantage of their smart grid data.

Built to leverage Itron's metering, communication network and meter data management (MDM) solutions, these analytic applications provide actionable business intelligence to enable specific smart grid solutions for distribution operations, revenue cycle services and customer engagement. Each analytic application is operational "out-of-the-box" and comes with an Accelerator and Extension Toolkit. Each Accelerator provides a fully functional set of analytic dashboards and reporting tools, but also establishes a launching point to develop customized analytic solutions using the ASA Extension Toolkits.


"Successfully meeting the challenges that lie ahead requires a comprehensive, extensible set of analytic tools that create strong business value from the vast amounts of data utilities are now collecting," said Mark deVere-White, senior vice president of Itron Energy in North America and Latin America. "The flexibility inherent in Itron's ASA solution enables utilities to gain valuable insight into the delivery and use of energy." "We set out with the goal of creating an analytics platform that had the flexibility of a custom solution while delivering the 'time to value' and decreased risk of an off-the-shelf application. By creating analytic applications that include prebuilt Accelerators for rapid deployment and Extension Toolkits for customization, we have created a best-of-both-worlds solution," said deVere-White. "Now a utility can quickly learn from the data acquired from the grid and use that knowledge to extend and customize their analytics for added value or as their needs change." Itron is a provider of energy and water resource management solutions for nearly 8,000 utilities around the world. The company has nearly 9,000 employees doing business in more than 130 countries More information: www.itron.com ((Comments on this story may be sent to newsdesk@closeupmedia.com)) (c) 2012 ProQuest Information and Learning Company; All Rights Reserved.
