The inspection equipment can output CSV, TXT and other Log Files, to be further integrated into the system Some equipment parameters have been collected using PLC and SCADA systems, and stored in the database, which can be viewed remotely in the whole factory, but no growth method can be found Already using relevant process parameter monitoring and analysis systems but unable to effectively improve efficiency.

The Challenge
The client wanted to develop a product that can acquire data from their meter units installed at the consumer's premises. A system capable of acquiring, transferring and archiving the data had to be in place, replacing the existing traditional method which was error prone and expensive to operate. The system needed to be integrated with the existing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for increasing the operational efficiency.
About The Customer
The client is a leading provider of power line communication (PLC/BPL) systems and solutions, enabling organizations to develop Smart Grid applications over existing electrical networks. They have a highly-integrated electrical network based system, which
The Solution
Prodapt designed data acquisition software that enables the collection of data from all the 'Smart' units distributed on the electricity grid. It was implemented using Java Enterprise Edition. The system processes the information received from the 'Smart' units, then transfers it to the Utility OS System for network monitoring, diagnosis, management and control. A web-based user interface has been provided for reporting and administering the software interfaces.

AGAI is a pioneer in BPL technology. Many customers have trusted the expertise of AGAI team to deliver highest possible performance regardless the architecture and the type of electrical network. AGAI provides a full suite of BPL product and solutions intended for utilities, telecommunications providers, real estate developers and specific solutions provider.
High transmission speed together with great reliability of this technology are highly regarded in many locations. Offered solutions naturally support all demanded network characteristics as VLAN, QoS, SNMP, IGMP - IPTV, etc.
Now products can be found in more countries worldwide in leading utilities, operator access networks and municipality. Communication using power lines has a long history; indeed, the idea has been around since the beginning of the twentieth century. In very low-speed PLC systems were used for controlling electronic equipment such as light dimmers. However, since the characteristics for power lines to serve as a communications means have not been defined and because the characteristics of power lines will change when power equipment and household electrical appliances are connected to them, PLC systems are now more and more widely used. Indeed, the high-speed PLC is now economically viable due to advances in analog circuit technology, digital signal-processing technology. PLC systems operating now at up to 200 Mbps for access application and Gbps per in-home.

AGAI is built on a scalable client/server architecture based on Linux with MySQL Databases and OpenGL. It is a multi-user application with multi-site management capabilities. The server utilizes a database to store and export network management information. The users can be given different access depending on their role in network operations. All management tools provide a Graphical User Interface.
For efficient integration and management, AGAI allows you to configure and monitor all AGAI PLC devices. It also includes a topologic description of Medium voltage and Low Voltage Network. All topologic links are real-time check for active devices of the network.
Once running, the AGAI PLC monitor all network devices and provide reliable real-time data.
The AGAI provides fault management capabilities by delivering real-time monitoring of the network in the supervision module. The AGAI may provide a Geographic Information System (optional) which allows a real-time monitoring of all devices supervised. An automatic alert system can be enabled to inform installer on field of success of installation in the entire system and of the quality of the link before leaving.
AGAI is the tools to quickly install BPL network, identify and solve all events and efficiently manage the quality of service.
