Operational Impact
The solution is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing data management and accounting systems. | |
Running on high-performance Ingres Vectorwise database, the smart meter data is available at any time of the day in near real-time, giving Datamatics customers a chance to evaluate data almost in real-time and use the information gathered to charge their power or gas customers the right tariffs. | |
The solution also enables energy customers to calculate their hourly or daily power consumption through an end customer portal via a PC or smart phone, to analyse costs and take appropriate action. | |
Quantitative Benefit
In an initial benchmark, Ingres Vectorwise was able to read and evaluate up to 7 million units with polling taking place every 15 minutes via a standard SQL and conventional hardware with minimum configuration. | |
Using proper hardware equipment, the database would theoretically be able to cover every household in Germany. | |
