Background
Traditional distribution boxes are difficult to implement remote monitoring due to the following factors:
1. Meter reading should be carried out manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, data reliability is difficult to guarantee. Due to scattered data, users are difficult to conduct effective energy consumption analysis.
2. Power distribution failures cannot be discovered in a timely manner, causing various potential safety risks and major risks.
3. In case of line failure, the power supply cannot be cut off in a timely manner, which may result in major incidents.
The Intelligent Remote Distribution Box Monitoring Solution is provided to help you analyze energy consumption and ensure electrical safety.
Solution
In order to reduce user investment and fully consider the structural characteristics of traditional distribution boxes, USR IoT independently develops and designs the rail-type networked communication devices, namely, DR series products, to satisfy the networking demands in various scenarios, based on its rich experience accumulated in years of network communication technology development. The distribution box is embedded with the DTU distribution device, distribution device power module, and distribution device power supply. By leveraging the intelligent remote monitoring function, you can remotely collect the electric meter readings and implement networked transmission. In addition, with the help of the electricity monitoring platform of USR Cloud, you can manage and control the electricity safety and electric energy over the cloud.
