挑战
Hera 现在是全国最大的多功能公用事业公司之一，它诞生于 2002 年，由在意大利艾米利亚-罗马涅大区运营的 11 家市政公司组成。作为全国首家此类公司，Hera 主要在环境（废物管理）、水（水管、污水和净化）和能源（电力、燃气分销和销售、能源服务）领域工作。提供的其他服务包括公共照明和电信。其活动范围不断发展，满足艾米利亚-罗马涅、弗留利-威尼斯朱利亚、马尔凯、托斯卡纳和威尼托 350 多个城市的 440 万公民的需求。
HERA 的技术核心是 HERAtech，该公司负责管理客户要求的赫拉集团管理的所有网络服务的工作，除了高度专业化的技术活动（如工厂）外，还负责工厂和网络的设计和建设。远程控制、管理紧急服务的技术呼叫中心和饮用水、废水和废物分析实验室。
Endian for Hera 的项目是与流体远程控制部门合作开发的，其主要目标是全面管理供应商对工厂和设备的访问，并准时监控分布在服务覆盖区域的网络。控制活动在多个数据中心（所有关键基础设施所在的地方）采取行动，这一切都是为了授权供应商访问并扫描所有连接以检测任何可能的未经授权的设备或入侵。

解决方案
Endian 项目设备由工业网关 4i Edge 313 和 515 组成，安装在 9 个区的数据中心进行网络监控，每个都与中央 Endian Switchboard 平台相连。在这个核心仪表板上，地理地图显示了所有中心和计数器工具，在列出所有连接的 IP 或 Mac 地址的同时，还可以扫描和检查那些不规则或未经授权的。
官方供应商也被授权使用 Endian Connect App 通过 VPN 访问工厂和机器，并且根据网关或托管工厂，他们获得访问特定主机的精细权限。使用 Switchboard 平台上可用的基于用户的权限，所有这些都易于集中设置。
Fluids Remote Control 团队的第一个结果非常积极，他们表示满意如下：“Endian 技术支持我们改进网络监控的策略。 PoC 套件是一个出色的交钥匙解决方案，可以管理连接到我们工厂 LAN 的设备的所有访问权限，并与我们的公司政策完全集成。”
HERAtech 最欣赏的功能之一是用于网络流量监控的中央系统。虽然外部合作者远程访问数据中心资源以进行日常操作很重要，但设备至关重要，必须保护对其的访问。借助 Endian 解决方案，HeraTech 可以实时发现任何未经授权的存在：为经过验证的配置文件启用远程连接，同时保持整个环境的可控和安全。

IoT Solutions for Smart City | Internet of Things Case Study
There were several challenges faced: It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance. The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.

Automation of the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline, Azerbaijan
The Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline project dates back to plans from the 1970’s. Baku’s growth was historically driven by the booming oil industry and required the import of drinking water from outside of the city. Before the construction of the pipeline, some 60 percent of the city’s households received water for only a few hours daily. After completion of the project, 75 percent of the two million Baku residents are now served around the clock with potable water, based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The 262-kilometer pipeline requires no pumping station, but uses the altitude differences between the Caucasian mountains and the capital to supply 432,000 m³/d to the Ceyranbatan water reservoir. To the people of Baku, the pipeline is “the most important project not only in 2010, but of the last 20 years.”

GPRS Mobile Network for Smart Metering
Around the world, the electricity supply industry is turning to ‘smart’ meters to lower costs, reduce emissions and improve the management of customer supplies. Smart meters collect detailed consumption information and using this feedback consumers can better understand their energy usage which in turn enables them to modify their consumption to save money and help to cut carbon emissions. A smart meter can be defined in many ways, but generally includes an element of two-way communication between the household meter and the utility provider to efficiently collect detailed energy usage data. Some implementations include consumer feedback beyond the energy bill to include online web data, SMS text messages or an information display in consumers’ premises. Providing a cost-effective, reliable communications mechanism is one of the most challenging aspects of a smart meter implementation. In New Zealand, the utilities have embraced smart metering and designed cost effective ways for it to be implemented. The New Zealand government has encouraged such a move to smart metering by ensuring the energy legislation is consistent with the delivery of benefits to the consumer while allowing innovation in this area. On the ground, AMS is a leader in the deployment of smart metering and associated services. Several of New Zealand’s energy retailers were looking for smart metering services for their residential and small business customers which will eventually account for over 500,000 meters when the multi-year national deployment program is concluded. To respond to these requirements, AMS needed to put together a solution that included data communications between each meter and the central data collection point and the solution proposed by Vodafone satisfied that requirement.

NB-IoT connected smart meters to improve gas metering in Shenzhen
Shenzhen Gas has a large fleet of existing gas meters, which are installed in a variety of hard to reach locations, such as indoors and underground, meaning that existing communications networks have struggled to maintain connectivity with all meters. The meter success rate is low, data transmissions are so far unstable and power consumption is too high. Against this background, Shenzhen Gas, China Telecom, Huawei, and Goldcard have jointly trialed NB-IoT gas meters to try and solve some of the challenges that the industry faces with today’s smart gas meters.

British Gas Modernizes its Operations with Innovative Smart Metering Deployment
The UK government has mandated that smart meters are rolled out as standard across Great Britain by end of 2020, and this roll-out is estimated to create £14 billion in net benefits to the UK in consumer energy savings and lower energy generation demand, according to the Oxford Economics report, “The Value of Smart Metering to Great Britain.” While smart-metering systems have been deployed in many countries, the roll-out in Great Britain is unique because it is led by energy retailers, who have responsibility for the Electricity and Gas meters. The decision to have a retailer-led roll out was made by DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) to improve customer experience and drive consumer benefits. It has also led to some unique system-level requirements to support the unique local regulatory model.
