robotron*esmart is a holistic, freely scalable meter data management (MDM) solution that optimally maps the complete smart metering processes. As a fully integrated solution, robotron*esmart covers the entire meter data management process from meter reading to data provision for billing and market partners without interfaces. Thanks to its modular design, individual functions can be easily integrated into existing system environments.

Smart metering with robotron*esmart enables not only the timely acquisition and evaluation of measurement data, but also the intelligent control of generation and consumption components.

The robotron*GWA-Manager covers the functions for optimally implementing gateway administration processes and fulfilling the tasks of the gateway administrator comprehensively. The Robotron solution guarantees high performance and security in the handling of administration processes in conjunction with optimal connection of the market partner systems.

The integrated certificate and key management ensures signed and encrypted communication including signature verification as well as decryption of measured values. In this way, the robotron*GWA Manager creates the basis for secure and economical operation of the entire smart meter infrastructure.

robotron*SwitchingServer serves all requirements for dynamic power grid support of network components and plants. The application spectrum ranges from a data hub for controlling systems to coordination tasks with the recording of network states. In addition to direct control via configurable schedules, the integrated control management also enables the download of control plans to the switch boxes or plants.

A flexible coupling of external control systems and market partners as well as the support of all common switchboxes and switch modules allow an easy and fast system integration.

Functions such as the dynamic grouping of plants (control pools), the processing of Merit Order Lists (MOL) or the aggregation of ACTUAL values form the perfect technical basis for virtual power plants (VPP) and the dynamic management of capacities and flexibilities.

With bidirectional communication to charging stations and wallboxes and integrated load and feed-in management, the CLS module in the robotron*SwitchingServer is also the technical foundation of the Robotron electromobility platform.

The universal Robotron-IoTHub4Utilities data platform serves the integration of IoT sensor technology and provides flexible interfaces to controlling backend systems.

A proven protection against identity theft of a server is the outsourcing of the private keys to a dedicated hardware security module (HSM). The use of hardware security modules is prescribed in particular in the context of smart metering by TR-03109 for gateway administrators (GWA) as well as external market participants (EMT, e.g. as measurement data receivers).

Due to the costly acquisition and complex integration of an HSM, Robotron offers HSM operation as a service (HSMaaS), ranging from setup to maintenance. In addition, we also offer private key management, so that ephemeral keys are generated and made available via key derivations in the application case.

robotron*ecollect covers an essential functional component of measurement data processing - advanced meter reading (AMR) as a direct connection to the metering system.

When reading meters, the solution supports both push and pull operation via all common transmission protocols. Manufacturer-neutral functions for time synchronization of the devices, for firmware updates and for carrying out tariff switching or remote locking are possible.

In addition to integrated technical device management, comprehensive process monitoring is also available.

By using robotron*ecollect, you save not only the interface between AMR and EDM, but also the redundant data storage of the metering data in both systems.

The communication center solution robotron*SwitchingServer supports existing systems for measurement data processing in meeting current and future communication and security requirements of the German Federal Office for Information Security. As a standalone component, it integrates optimally into existing infrastructures and complements robotron*esmart or the robotron*GWA-Manager with a powerful head-end system.

As a manufacturer-independent system solution, robotron*SwitchingServer communicates both with the new smart meter gateways and with conventional remotely readable meters. This ensures easy entry into the new era of smart metering systems.

The combination of storages, generation plants and consumer loads into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a highly innovative strategy to continue offering attractive energy products in the context of a changing energy market. In addition to a wide range of service options, the approach opens up a high potential for optimizing procurement and marketing.

The control of flexible consumer loads and the use of intelligent storages also enables the smoothing of load curves, the realization of a high forecasting quality as well as the cost-efficient control of the integrated individual components.

Robotron's complete solution is particularly suitable for the provision of control energy services as well as for the optimization of generation and marketing of all types of energy from decentralized generation.

The Robotron EDM/MDM systems process various transaction data on the basis of which billing can take place. The cross-commodity billing module handles the periodic (e.g. monthly, annually) or one-time billing of the following matters for RLM, SLP customers as well as network operators, traders and suppliers:

•  Supply,
•  Trading (from portfolio management),
•  Balancing group,
•  Network utilization and service contracts
•  Other billing matters

Separate processes have been created for the billing of meter location operation. Depending on the market role, the processes provide for the provision or receipt of an electronic price sheet, communication and billing between the meter operator and the supplier. Robotron also offers suitable function modules and adaptations for the new requirements.
