Processing and communications

Deployment approaches for network processing and communications

Centralisation RTUs

Centralise data collected across the network, enabling electrical information to be gathered, stored and transmitted to higher-level systems such as SCADA, DMS and analytics platforms, providing a unified operational view. Available in different configurations to match the complexity of each installation, they optimise costs and simplify architectures with multiple data inputs.

Monitoring of specific variables

Provide additional intelligence at key points across the network by monitoring specific electrical variables that extend operational visibility and enable more accurate diagnostics. These devices complement standard data acquisition by delivering critical information for advanced network management.

Integrated solutions

Combine data acquisition, processing and monitoring within a single system, providing a ready-to-deploy solution that simplifies network digitalisation and accelerates value creation. They are designed for environments requiring a more structured or standardised implementation, reducing integration complexity.

What is the role of processing and communications in a smart grid?

An instrumented network generates data, but without processing and communications, that data cannot be turned into operational value. To be useful, electrical information must be collected, organised, contextualised and reliably transmitted to the systems that support day-to-day network operations.

This layer acts as the field intelligence of the low-voltage network, connecting sensing with analytics while ensuring interoperability, secure communications and continuous data availability across the entire system.

Request technical information

Turn data into operational decisions.

Processing and communications form the central hub of the Zillion ecosystem. Without this layer, sensing remains isolated and analytics lack context. Take the next natural step in your network's digitalisation.

Centralise. Collect measurements from multiple points and devices across secondary substations.

Process. Apply local logic, manage events, and store data and oscillography directly in the field.

Connect. Transmit information securely to SCADA, DMS and IT/OT platforms using standard communication protocols.

Enable. Prepare your network for advanced analytics, smart distribution boards and future automation in a structured, scalable way.

What operational challenges does this connectivity layer address?

By connecting field devices seamlessly with your management systems, you transform electrical signals into real operational value for your team:

Talk to an expert

Eliminate data silos. Integrate low-voltage data directly and natively into your corporate operational systems.
Lack of analytical context. Organise and synchronise electrical data at the source, ensuring accurate diagnostics and more effective downstream analytics.
Missed critical events. Manage alarms and capture oscillography locally to ensure no critical information is lost during incidents or communication outages.
Hardware incompatibility. Ensure interoperability and consistency by connecting different field devices through standard communication protocols.
