Created by teams in Procode’s Smart Innovation Superhub near Southampton, the highly resilient IDA will provide Electricity North West with a comprehensive overview of its smart meter estate.
It will also enable the power network operator to respond better during outages by checking the energisation of homes remotely, improving customer service. The IDA has the capacity to process thousands of messages per second, so will also equip Electricity North West to better respond during storms and prioritise where supply should be restored.
The partnership marks a milestone in the sector’s move to a more secure, cloud-based infrastructure and the first time Electricity North West has adopted Software as a Service (SaaS) for their smart infrastructure. It also underlines Procode’s emergence as a key driver of technological innovation among Distribution Network Operators.
“The partnership is an exciting next step for Procode as we build on our reputation for smart energy tech and expand into new markets and new geographies” said Ian Burgess, Managing Director of Procode. “We are delighted to be working with Electricity North West to provide even better levels of customer service and maintain their position as a leader in the adoption of cutting-edge tech.”
