Digitisation and Smart Grids IoT
A new paradigm in the electricity sector
The electricity sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the integration of renewable energy sources, electrification, and the increasing digitalization of infrastructure.
Electrical installations are no longer conceived solely as energy distribution systems, but as sources of information that allow us to understand their operation, improve efficiency, and facilitate decision-making.
In this context, the Smart Grids and IoT technologies They drive the evolution towards increasingly connected and intelligent networks and installations. This transformation does not only affect electricity companies, but also the industry, infrastructure and the tertiary sector.
The challenge: managing increasingly complex installations
The introduction of smart metering devices and communication systems has multiplied the amount of information available in electrical installations.
This new scenario poses challenges:
- Managing large volumes of data from multiple measurement points.
- Integrate teams from different manufacturers and technologies.
- Ensure reliable communications between devices and management systems.
- Facilitate remote access to information about distributed facilities.
The real challenge of digitalization does not consist solely in obtaining data, but in collect them, centralize them, and transmit them efficiently, so that they can be used in the monitoring and management systems.
Digitise to make a better decision
The digitalization of electrical panels and infrastructures allows for the evolution from installations with independent equipment to connected systems capable of exchanging information and facilitating more efficient management.
An adequate architecture of measurement and communications allows:
- Centralize information from different teams and facilities.
- Access the electrical data remotely.
- Facilitate the detection of incidents and the planning of maintenance.
- Integrate the information into monitoring platforms, energy management systems, and SCADA systems.
The combination of electrical instrumentation and communication technologies forms the foundation for developing more connected, scalable, and future-ready facilities. This is the foundation of a more efficient, controlled, and future-ready system.
SACI technology applied to digitisation
SACI develops solutions for the acquisition, concentration and communication of electrical data, facilitating the integration of measurement equipment in industrial environments, connected infrastructures and smart networks.
Connected electrical measurement: the origin of the information
Digitalization begins with obtaining reliable data at the different points of the installation.
The SACI network analyzers They allow measuring the main electrical magnitudes and providing information about the behavior of circuits and equipment. Their communication capabilities facilitate integration into data acquisition systems and monitoring platforms.
These solutions allow for the digitization of electrical panels and cabinets, both in new installations and in projects to modernize existing infrastructures.

Mass centralization of data and communications
In facilities with numerous connected devices, it is essential to have systems that allow the collection and transmission of information in an organized manner.
The Data concentrators and remote RTU units from SACI They act as a link between the field-based teams and the central management systems, simplifying the communication architecture.
Solutions such as SACI-RTU and Gateway Lite allow for the centralization of information from multiple devices and its transmission through communication protocols, facilitating their integration into IoT platforms, SCADA systems, and connected industrial environments.
