“PUMA” ACEMS system (AIMSCEM) – unified three-level electricity metering system
The company “Jcom” offers a full range of works on implementation of automatic metering of energy resources at your facilities. It will help to optimize resource consumption and reduce operating costs.
We offer both ready-made solutions for enterprises, trade/business centers, gas stations and other common areas, and individual development for the customer’s tasks.
What is AIMSCEM “PUMA”?
AIMSCEM “PUMA” is an automated information and measurement system for commercial energy metering of resources from Jcom. It is designed to collect, process, store and transmit data on resource consumption (electricity, heat, gas and water) at facilities.
For which tasks AIMSCEM “PUMA” is suitable
2 in 1 technical and commercial accounting
When monitoring energy consumption, a distinction should be made between technical and commercial metering.
Technical metering
Technical metering is intended for internal purposes. The organization tracks energy consumption indicators (quantity, capacity, network parameters, etc.) to control resource consumption and monitor technical characteristics.
Automated Information and Measuring System of Commercial Energy Metering (AIMSCEM) “PUMA” can be used as a technical metering system that performs the following tasks:
- Forms statistics of consumption by organization at the facility or its sites.
- Controls equipment serviceability and quickly notifies of accidents.
- Keeps a log of various indicators of energy consumption profile (active and reactive power, voltage, current, etc.) and allows you to make detailed reports.
Commercial accounting
Commercial accounting is intended for the exchange of information with sales organizations. The company counts the exact amount of resources consumed during the billing period in order to pay for them.
AIMSCEM performs several key tasks in the field of commercial metering:
- Automatically transmits the readings of all metering devices to the management company.
- Protects commercial metering from human error or deliberate falsification.
- Provides comprehensive information on energy consumption, without inaccuracies and rounding.
- Allows you to reduce energy costs by implementing Price Category Calculator (PCC) and selecting the optimal price category.
All this leads to optimization of energy costs at the enterprise.
AIMSCEM “PUMA” system can include meters for both technical and commercial metering of energy resources. The system will synchronize with any software of sales organizations and will be able to send them data.
How AIMSCEM “PUMA” is organized
To create and use it at the enterprise you will need “Jcom” equipment and software. The system consists of three levels:
| Level |
Equipment |
Assignment |
| Lower |
Metering devices |
Meters take readings of energy consumption. To view this data remotely, you will need to connect the meters to the system using communication equipment. |
| Middle |
Communication equipment (modules, Retrofit cover or “PUMA” Data collection and transmission units). |
The devices “poll” the meters and transmit the information to the server. |
| Upper |
Server and software system |
All data received from the counters is sent to the server. This can be a client server or Jcom’s cloud platform, Thingsboard. The data can be viewed in two ways: via web access in a browser or via a separate program |
The meter data can be transmitted to the server via different communication channels depending on the customer’s choice or equipment configuration:
-
- Ethernet – wired internet connection;
- 3G/4G – communication of mobile operators, through which large amounts of data can be transmitted quickly;
- NB-IoT+2G – modern communication standard, which is dedicated specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT – Internet of Things) and is designed for the transmission of small amounts of data;
- LoRaWAN – a wireless network that allows the transmission of small amounts of data over long distances through the use of intermediate base stations.
Readings from meters are transmitted in the form of modern network protocols:
-
- MQTT – a protocol for simplified information exchange in the field of the Internet of Things;
- HTTP – an application protocol for data transmission using client-server technology, etc.
Specialized protocols SSL and TLS are used to increase the level of security and data protection from third parties
Advantages of AIMSCEM PUMA from Jcom
Saving up to 20%: helps to reduce electricity costs
Using the system, you will be able to control non-targeted consumption (unauthorized connections to the network) and choose the most profitable price category of electricity.
Scalability: free connection of new meters
The system can be expanded without additional costs. If there is a need to install new meters, their addition to the system does not have to be paid for separately.
Flexibility: integrates with other programs
“Jcom” develops all components in-house, so the software can adapt to any customer requirements and integrate with other programs and platforms.
