Cuculus adds support for Danfoss devices for the ZONOS smart metering platform

Cuculus GmbH, a developer of smart metering and energy management solutions, announces that it has added support for five heat meters and four communications gateways from Danfoss A/S.

Cuculus’ ZONOS smart metering platform is one of the only platforms capable of giving customers true flexibility to choose their preferred meter type and communication infrastructure. Through the addition, ZONOS is currently able to control and manage more than 95 device types in a wide range of set-ups such as mobile communication, Ethernet, PLC or RF Mesh. The solution also provides advanced functionality enabling firmware and encryption key management across the various devices. Devices used for various purposes, e.g. power and district heating metering as well as the communications infrastructure, can be managed in the same system. Through these capabilities the ZONOS platform has also been used for IoT related applications such as control of street lighting and de-central generation.

Kjartan V. Skaugvoll, CEO of Cuculus, commented: “We continue to add value for clients by making sure that we provide them with solutions that guarantee device and communications independence. This flexibility gives great benefits by enabling clients to explore new opportunities with lower investment and operational costs than with proprietary solutions. Danfoss has a great market position for district heating particularly in Russian and Chinese markets, so we are pleased with this extension. We will continue to expand the list of supported devices and technologies aggressively moving our solutions into the IoT area.”

Jannik Munk, Systems and Solution Manager at Danfoss, said: “Our new range of smart district heating meters and communication gateways provide great benefits and are attractive for both utilities and property owners. We are pleased that customers making use of Cuculus’ software platform get the opportunity to make use of our product range and that Danfoss’ customers have the option to consider Cuculus advanced solution if they are interested in a meter vendor independent solution."

Since 2007 Cuculus provides software solutions for the energy sector and beyond. Our ZONOS platform and the supporting optional ZONOS modules form the basis for our solutions in the area of smart metering and energy management. ZONOS can be integrated quickly and easily into existing system environments and is growing with the technical, commercial and procedural requirements of our customers. The support of various vendors and technologies, the multi-utility support (electricity, gas, water and heat) and a smart modular design principle allow a maximum of flexibility. Whether small pilot project as a cloud solution or full roll-out, our solutions ensure short time-to-market and easy operation.
