oHES Think (Enterprise) for DSO

A future-proof smart metering energy platform that helps utility providers develop rapidly. A unified, open, and manufacturer-independent system designed to read millions of smart meters over the next decade. It is universal because it can read meters from multiple manufacturers and multiple utilities, i.e., meters operating with different communication standards. Multi-vendor control, zero replatform. IEC 61968-9 APIs and DLMS/COSEM adapters in one console. Parallel firmware lines and staged migrations without replatforming. It can be integrated into the current IT environment in accordance with the IT requirements of large companies. Using the latest software architectures, oHES Think is guaranteed to be future-proof and investment-proof.

The SEP Consulting team supports the smart metering ecosystem of Magyar Villamos Művek (MVM). oHES Think (Enterprise) is responsible for remote reading, data quality and process management of smart meters.

Risk-free entry

60-day test-bench PoC (1000 meters, up to 2 vendors). Cancel anytime, meter-based licensing.

Data collection strategies

Choose the best strategies for collecting data and events. Use scheduled, group-based, or request-based data collection to collect daily records, 15-minute interval data, power quality data, and historical data. Enables independent data collection for different meter groups or Mbus submeters.

Flexible device connectivity

Connect devices to any type of network, including PLC, 2G/3G/4G, CDMA, LTE, LTE-m, NBIOT, Lora, fiber optic, and DECT-NR+ networks. Maximize data collection throughput, flexibility, and parallelism with algorithm-based connection and communication strategies tailored to each network.

Easy integrations

Event/webhook model with SFTP/REST fallbacks. CIS/GIS hooks plus map & topology views for operations.

Automation

Significantly reduces the manpower requirements (Lower OPEX) for large-scale smart meter operation. Processes are end-to-end automated:Mass firmware, meter-swap flows, ActivityCalendar scheduling. Prioritized comms/outage triage with auto-ticketing.

Integrated key management system

Create and manage security keys for all devices. Automatically create and modify keys during installation or maintenance processes. Key management is part of the extensive security features of the oHES Think platform.

Device integration

Integrate any type of device and protocol using device-specific adapters. Different device types and firmware versions are supported in parallel, allowing new technologies to be introduced gradually and old solutions to be phased out with minimal operational impact. The result: a future-proof, flexible architecture that adapts to the evolution of smart metering without significant IT system modifications.

Device lifecycle management

oHES operates and manages all devices using standardized processes. From importing master data, installing and replacing meters, to configuring meters and updating firmware. Everything you need to manage smart meters throughout their entire lifecycle.

Business application integration

Industry-standard interfaces such as IEC61968, SAP-MDUS, and REST ensure easy integration with existing IT architectures. Direct integration with ERP, CRM, SAP, MDMs, data warehouses, and network management applications reduces IT complexity, increases data transfer speeds, and enables the use of next-generation data-driven architectures. It handles all functions of SouthBond interfaces with scalability suitable for large enterprises.

Technician mobile application

Suitable for complete reading and software verification of installed meters on site.

Validation, estimation, editing capabilities (VEE)

Enables full configuration of individual validation and estimation processes for measurement data channels in cases where measurement data is not available. This VEE function enables the system to produce accounting data quality.

Reporting

The module is suitable for high-performance generation and scheduling of meter-specific data queries.
