In the world of Energy, Smart Meters have become vital as an early version of emerging IoT. The data that it collects provides incredible value to utility operators as it helps them gain better insight on factors like demand cycles and numbers as well as helping them maximize their efficiency when it comes to producing and distributing energy. Recently, Thierry Godart, who is the GM of Energy Solutions for the IoT Group at Intel stated in his blog that, “energy grids are on the verge of a major change.” He later stated that, “scalable, flexible, and secure end-to-end IoT architectural frameworks and products that help utilities monitor and measure energy flow and improve operational efficiency across the grid enable a more intelligent, reliable, safe, and secure grid while also lowering the costs of utilities.” However, that is only the beginning of the bright future ahead for the energy industry.
