NARTIS
Specialists from the NEC TECH Scientific and Technical Centre held a practical workshop for employees of Rosseti Novosibirsk on working with NARTIS smart electricity metering systems.
NEC TECH experts, together with specialists from the NARTIS plant (both companies are part of the NEC Group), delivered the theoretical part of the programme and conducted practical sessions using smart electricity metering devices and data collection and transmission units (UDPD).
Participants were briefed on building and operating a secure electricity metering system based on ZigBee data transmission technology. They were also shown the specifics of installing and configuring UDPD units for automated data transfer to the AIIS KUE (Automated Information and Measurement System for Commercial Electricity Metering). The speakers shared practical recommendations to ensure the system’s correct and uninterrupted operation.
Using the wireless ZigBee technology helps reduce labour costs both during installation and in subsequent operation, thanks to its flexibility and scalability. Deploying smart metering devices in combination with UDPD units minimises the likelihood of errors in electricity metering and ensures prompt data acquisition.
Particular emphasis during the workshop was placed on hands‑on practice. Rosseti Novosibirsk specialists practised installing metering devices, remotely reading data in various modes, diagnosing equipment and analysing potential faults. This format enabled participants to gain practical experience working with the equipment in operation, under the guidance of representatives from the developer and manufacturer.
At NEC TECH, they note that the main advantage of such workshops is the direct dialogue between developers, manufacturers and operating organisations. This format helps accelerate the adoption of new technologies and lays the groundwork for further effective collaboration.
