AES encryption protects your data. But without the keys, you don’t really own the device. This article explains why requesting encryption keys matters when purchasing IoT meters, and how it gives you full control over data, integration, and long-term independence.

Looking for a wireless M-Bus converter but unsure which frequency band to choose? This article compares 868 MHz and 433 MHz, explains key technical differences, and offers practical guidance based on meter compatibility, signal conditions, and installation environments.

One place to find answers to all your technical questions. The ACRIOS wiki simplifies technical communication by bringing together everything needed for configuration, installation, and integration. Online, accessible, and continuously updated.

Ready-made products can work. Until they don’t. When specific requirements emerge, a custom development approach offers the flexibility to design both hardware and software precisely for the task. Whether it’s a new solution or an upgrade to existing systems.

Energy efficiency is no longer just a buzzword. With rising energy costs and increasing regulatory pressure, frameworks like ISO 50001 are becoming essential. But to optimise energy use, organisations first need one thing: structured, reliable consumption data.

The price tag is just the beginning. Real savings come from what happens after deployment – device setup, integration, maintenance and optimisation. Manufacturers can make all of this easier and cheaper, without compromising on performance.

Unifying meter readings across different protocols doesn’t have to mean replacing hardware or relying on a single vendor. Our solution connects even legacy Sensus meters (now part of the Xylem group) into a unified system – without the need to replace your existing devices.

15-minute interval readings help clarify heat pricing, detect anomalies and reduce billing complaints. They also support transparent cost allocation, a must as dynamic tariffs and EU rules raise the bar. With our converters, you can enable them without replacing your meters.

In the field, there’s no time for unnecessary clicks or second guesses. When every minute costs money, configuration needs to be fast, reliable, and dead simple. Let's have a look at what really works – and why complexity doesn’t belong at the installation site.
