PPC Network Management Software
Innovative network management for smart grids
Die Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) is a technology company that specializes in communication solutions for intelligent power grids (smart grids). Among other things, the focus is on smart meter gateways, which make it possible to record and transmit energy data in real time. PPC works closely with energy suppliers and network operators to drive forward the digitization of energy infrastructure and thus the energy revolution.
Efficient management of increasing complexity
PPC's Network Management System (NMS) is a software solution for monitoring and managing smart grids and smart meter networks. It enables network operators to monitor, configure and update all installed devices on the network in real time. In close cooperation with PPC, we have developed a user-friendly browser application and a companion app for the NMS. Both products help energy service providers efficiently manage and monitor the smart meter gateways installed at end customers.
The challenge
As energy networks continue to digitize, the number of devices with integrated communication technologies is growing. Network operators must control them securely and reliably at all times. Regular monitoring, configuration, and updates are essential to prevent disruptions. Connectivity issues and lack of visibility can affect operations and lead to outages.
Our solution
browser application
Intuitive platform for easy management: Our cloud-based browser application offers a clear and intuitively designed user interface that enables users to efficiently manage all devices. An interactive map visualizes the Smart Meter Gateways, supports administration and ensures smooth operation — even with a wide range of connected devices.
mobile app
In addition, we have developed the NMS Connector app, which helps installers install smart meter gateways and communication technology in households. The app enables easy recording and documentation of the installation process on site and automatically integrates the devices into the NMS.
Efficient management
The intuitive, cloud-based platform with an interactive map makes it easy to manage all devices on the network.
Easier installation
The NMS Connector app helps installers install and automatically integrate the devices into the system.
Higher network security
The NMS enables real-time monitoring, reduces downtime and increases the reliability of the energy supply.
The added value
By implementing the NMS, network operators can achieve improved network stability and operational efficiency. The system provides real-time insights and analysis, reduces downtime and increases network security, which ultimately contributes to a more sustainable and reliable energy supply.
