MDUS – SAP for Utilities Adaptor

Description:

Gridstream MDUS integrates your Advanced Metering Infrastructure with your daily processes like billing, contract management and customer service. It allows utilities to get the most out of their smart metering investment.

Landis+Gyr is the premier smart metering solution provider. Together with SAP we have developed a solution that acts as the bridge between smart metering and the SAP for Utilities systems. The result, Gridstream MDUS, integrates the systems and combines the expertise and experience of the world leaders in smart metering technology and business software.

Optimizing business processes

Gridstream MDUS provides a platform for smart metering functionality in the SAP system, as well as a data repository for all smart metering data. With its bi-directional gateway from SAP for Utilities to a single smart meter and back, MDUS realizes smart metering benefits in daily business processes. Actual consumption information is available for billing purposes and customer service, either scheduled or on demand. In contract change situations and removals the meter can be read and power connected or disconnected easily by customer service personnel. Also, in complaint and troubleshooting situations, the access to near real time metering data is readily available – directly from SAP for Utilities.

The end of complexity

Gridstream MDUS is integrated with SAP for Utilities, so there’s no need to use a new system in order to realize the benefits of smart metering. Daily operations are smooth and efficient, as smart metering operations can be managed from the SAP interface. The initial phase of a smart metering project is easier, too, because with Gridstream MDUS the work is already done and expensive and time-consuming integrations are a thing of the past.

Our product allows you to utilize a single system for managing smart metering operations, independent of the Head-End System provider. As all the smart metering data is stored in one place, data duplication challenges cease to be an issue.

Ready for progress

Gridstream MDUS technology is developed based on the expertise of industry leaders and according to the highest quality standards, it’s a SAP Qualified Business Solution. The system is built on a platform that has proven its reliability and scalability in high-volume smart metering operations.

The software architecture follows industry standard IEC 61968-9, so it can be used for fast integration of any HES using the same standard.Vendor independence allows flexible expansion of device infrastructure and minimizes the risks and costs of smart metering investments. The open architecture of Gridstream MDUS enables the addition of new MDM and smart grid applications as utility needs and technology continue to evolve.
