NewHybrid control for C&I batteries: stop exporting at negative prices
Solutions / Utilities and DSOs

Read the meters you already have.

Gas and water networks run on meters read by hand, and substations and isolated sites report late or not at all. BOX2M digitises existing meters with battery-powered readers, monitors substations from 0.4 kV to 220 kV, and reaches isolated sites by satellite.

What you find
m³ unbilled
network input vs metered consumption, per zone
Why now

Networks are asked to measure more, and prove it.

Drinking Water Directive 2020/2184

Large water suppliers must assess leakage in their networks. That starts with measuring input and consumption.

NIS2

Energy and water operators, and their suppliers, must show how their operational systems are secured and monitored.

Ageing assets

Old meters, old signals, and sites without power or coverage. Replacing them all costs more than reading them.

What you get

What BOX2M adds to a network.

Battery-powered readers

On existing gas and water meters, without interrupting the flow and without mains power.

Substation monitoring

0.4 kV, 6/10/20 kV and 110/220 kV, feeder by feeder, with power quality and alarms.

Power production sites

Wind, PV, micro-hydro and gas gensets, with weather and environment data alongside.

Satellite for isolated sites

Iridium and Starlink links in operation, for sites without coverage and as backup monitoring.

Environment monitoring

Emissions, particles, gamma radiation and ambient conditions, near infrastructure or civilian sites.

Legacy signals

Old meters, relays and analogue signals digitised, over our own radio and cable networks where needed.

What we measure here

Sized to your site.

  • Gas: volume and volume correctors, G1.6 to G100
  • Water: flow, temperature, velocity; ultrasonic, non-invasive
  • Electricity: substations and feeders
  • Steam and heat networks
  • Environment: emissions, particles, gamma radiation

How a project runs

Seven steps, one team.

Cost and duration depend on the complexity and scale of the site. A pilot on a few sites comes first.

1

Site survey

Meters, boards, signals, networks and constraints on site.

2

Solution build

The configuration: meters, sensors, cabinets, network, platform.

3

Design, assembly and configuration

Cabinets built and devices configured for your site.

4

Live testing in the BOX2M lab

Everything runs in our lab and test cloud before it ships.

5

Installation

By a specialised technician, without stopping production or supply.

6

Commissioning and acceptance

Live data checked against your meters, alarms tested.

7

Life-cycle support

Monitoring of the devices themselves, updates and changes.
