Rückblick auf die E-World 2025
Our review of E-World 2025 E-World remains an important milestone in our industry and this year was no exception.
500 submetering devices deployed in the field
The current rollout of smart metering systems is not only creating a basis for the remote reading of measured values, but also a future-proof infrastructure for a more flexible, digitalised energy world. In submetering in particular, models from many different manufacturers need to be read and billed. PPC has developed the "CLS Adapter Submetering", now in its second generation, for this purpose.
PPC fleet goes fully electric
From November 2023 PPC's vehicle fleet includes only fully electric and hybrid vehicles.
SMGW 2.0 reinforces our 2023 product portfolio
2022 was a particularly active and exciting year for the smart metering industry. PPC will meet the numerous challenges and developments in the coming year with the second generation of its Smart Meter Gateway, to further strengthen our portfolio of technology and applications. Why SMGW 2.0? "Newer, higher, further" could of course be the watchwords, as in many product development cycles, but for the development of our second generation Smart Meter Gateways, other factors are the key drivers.
