It is estimated that by 2020 the world will have 50 billion different devices. A significant number of these will be related to the energy sector.
The proliferation of smart meters, the development of remote data reading systems, the management and monitoring of electricity consumption, the formation of smart city systems are the main trends that bring the energy sector to the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution. Therefore, enterprises that design and manufacture electrical equipment such as LED signal fittings, light indicators, information boards, electronic relays, including Relays RTI-80 , have accepted the challenge and are preparing face to face for new technological requirements.
Producers who fail to meet the demands of the changing energy sector over the next five years are expected to be less in demand by consumers. Competition in the energy market, an increase in the number of goods and services associated with the need for a new philosophy of utilities, all this requires the use of modern IT solutions and industrial control.
Smart grids and services based on innovative power distribution and generation infrastructure are under development. Here we can note the use of standard sensors in some applications, as well as the use of special sensors. However, all sensors are designed to perform specific tasks. Special sensors are used mainly for non-contact problem detection and alarms.
The fourth energy industry revolution is also about expanding mobile technologies in customer service and increasing the level of standardization and unification of processes, thereby reducing the complexity of the application architecture and costs. In practice, this means increased business efficiency. With constant information, the network investment plan can be optimized by identifying illegal energy consumption and operating costs can be reduced.
