3 key takeaways from European Utility Week 2018

This year’s European Utility Week proved that the IoT is not only the future of the energy industry – it is the present. We were pleased to experience a great interest in the opportunities offered by our white label IoT platform to increase sustainability and future-proof businesses without spending years on product development.

Our 3 key takeaways from EUW18:

1. Cross-selling offers great potential for the energy industry
“EUW18 assured us that more and more utilities are searching for cross-selling opportunities. Triggered by the introduction of dynamic pricing, the utilities are realizing the potential of offering smart home services together with the metering read-out to gain a competitive advantage.”

Mads Høy Mortensen (Sales Director)

2. Asset management is accelerating
“Optimization of the traditional, manual techniques to track and locate assets was on the agenda at the EUW. It was highly evident that the possibilities of asset management in relation to improving efficiency, enabling energy savings, and predictive maintenance through IoT products have a wide appeal."

Claus K. Olesen (Senior Key Account Manager)

3. The importance of LPWAN is clear
“With the number of devices getting connected now and in the near future, a focus of the industry is to reduce the power consumption of devices to ensure that the wireless networks are capable of supporting them all. At this year’s EUW, we experienced an increased interest in Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) options ensuring power efficiency as well as cost savings."
