An open data interface means freedom and independence when working with data. Beyond storing and visualising, it enables export, reporting, automation and smooth integration with other systems. The result is greater flexibility, lower vendor lock-in and sustainable data management.

How often should you measure energy and water consumption? Fifteen-minute meter reading frequency supports detailed analysis and real-time optimisation, while daily data extend battery life and simplify reporting. Learn about the benefits, trade-offs, and use cases from practice.

Many IoT deployments fail when each new customer request requires a firmware change. Scripting solves that by separating customer logic from core functions, it enables faster updates, long-term maintenance, and secure control over unique features.

Get your gas meter data online in minutes with the ACR-EX datalogger and its direct Datacake integration. This reliable NB-IoT solution provides live readings, alerts, and a ready-to-use dashboard. All without the need to develop or maintain your own backend infrastructure.

Let’s break down what the BACS mandate, part of EU’s broader initiative EPDB directive, means in practice. Who must comply, which systems and protocols to use, and how to modernise your building with minimal effort using your existing infrastructure.

Let’s explore when DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) brings real security value to NB-IoT deployments and when it’s smarter to choose a simpler or more energy-efficient alternative. Get clarity before committing to your next smart metering rollout.

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.
