INOV experience of in the domotics area refers back to the first development units within INESC, called "PEDIP Centres", with strong knowledge in electronics engineering, control and signal processing.

The electricity, water and gas telemetering was developed in INOV in response to the international movement to deregulate the power supplying sector, forcing providers to seek for the competitiveness increase using new information technologies and electronics.

INOV formed consortia with the most representative national companies of distribution of energy, and in accordance with their requirements and specifications, developed several products and services for modern utilities.

The solution for Electrical Power Telemetering from INOV includes an integrated system of Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and management of information from the several units installed in "low-voltage" customers.

Thus installing the Telemetering System from INOV, the Provider Company is expected to make its operation more efficient and, at the same time, to reduce the operational costs, to rationalise the operational means and to improve image and communication with its customers.

The existing knowledge at INOV implies that the new activities emerge in the domain of communications within the electrical power distribution network and the static measurement of the electrical power.

The engineers and consultants from INOV also analyse the adaptation of the information systems associated with the Telemetering platform in the information systems existing at the Provider Company.
