SMARKIA displays the information stored by the metering devices and offers a set of functionalities that can easily manage the energy consumption of your organization.
How does SMARKIA get the information stored by my measurement devices, and do I have to send it to them?
SMARKIA periodically connects remotely to the information source, where your measurements are stored, and copies them so that you can monitor them later. All this happens automatically without you having to do anything.
Who establishes the communications, i.e. makes the calls so that the information is transferred?
SMARKIA is always the one who interrogates your devices to obtain the information, without the user having to take any action.
Is the process of reading the data by SMARKIA automatic or do I have to run it?
The process is fully automatic. The user does not have to do anything to have all the energy information of the organization and be able to consult it from SMARKIA.
CanSMARKIA be connected directly to my measurement equipment without the need for me to install any additional hardware?
Yes, as long as your equipment is telemetry ready, uses a compatible communications protocol and stores the data you need to monitor.
What is necessary for a device to be ready to be telemetered?
Basically, three conditions are required:
That the device has a path or port that allows it to communicate with the outside.
It must have access to a wired or mobile communications network.
It must have the appropriate communication unit to link with the network or channel through which the information is to be transmitted.
