ISA Win Another Tender

ISA's latest tender application in France has resulted in the award of a contract for ISA to remotely monitor and support automatic meter reading (AMR) for over 14,000 gas meters and for 4000 LPG vessels. The awarding of this contract further reinforces ISA's growing reputation as one of the largest and most reliable telemetry providers.
The principle ISA products for this project will be the reliable ilogger and ISA's local radio device, the ISA RTU. The iLogger is a multi-purpose remote management system providing data logging, automatic meter reading and alarms, with applications in oil, fuel and diesel. ISA's RTUs use license exempt frequencies to transmit readings upto a distance of 300M in mesh networks.

ISA Launch iMeter Smart Meter

ISA was present, once more, at the Metering Europe exhibition, an event where last year ISA was distinguished with the Innovation Award of the European Utility Awards. The trade fair, which took place from October 2nd to October 4th 2007, gathered the largest Metering and Energy companies, and it was the occasion for the worldwide launch of ISA’s most recent solution in energy efficiency - the iMeter.
The iMeter solution consists of a set of measuring devices, capable of reading temperature, electricity, gas and water consumptions from individual homes and buildings, concentrating the data in a central unit that provides information on the energy performance of homes and buildings, both in terms of cost and the corresponding carbon emissions. The system is fully modular and it was designed to be reliable, simple to install, and very cost-effective.
ISA also actively participated in the conference program, with the communication “Domestic Energy Efficiency Supported by Multi-Utility Metering“, presented by ISA’s CEO, José Basílio Simões and focused on a real case study: the development of a tool that will help individual households evaluate their energy consumption profile in order to achieve significant energy savings.
With the iMeter solution, ISA aims to contribute to curbing the energy consumption in the home sector, in order to help Portugal and other developed countries meet the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol.

ISA and Quercus Partner

ISA, always in the stream of new technologies and actively focused in projects related to environmental preservation, associated itself to the project EcoCasa, developed in partnership with Quercus, a Portuguese environmental association.
This pilot aims to correlate electricity consumption in different Portuguese geographical areas with temperature measurements. It consist in the deployment of equipment developed and produced by ISA, namely the iMeter (which enables electricity consumption reading) and the iPoints (which measure temperature, gas, water, oil etc) in 200 homes, distributed in 5 different Portuguese climatic areas during some months, with the goal to identify consumption patterns and develop good practices in the energetic efficiency field. In a few words, this project attempts to Monitor, to Interpret, to Form and to Disseminate. A web enabled software system was also developed to enable the access to several data types such as accumulated values by each reading equipment or historic data trends.
