Towercom Transforms Energy Management: Implementing FLOWBOX for Automated Monitoring and Billing Across 700 Transmitter Sites
Towercom uses the FLOWBOX platform to automate data collection from 950 electricity meters across 700 transmitters, enabling efficient consumption monitoring and accurate billing. The implementation has significantly streamlined processes, eliminated manual work, and provided full control over energy management throughout the entire network.
About the Company
Towercom, a.s. – a key player in the field of telecommunications and broadcasting services, managing an extensive network of transmitters across Slovakia.
About the Project: From Manual Readings to Digitized Energy Management
Towercom, a.s. operates more than 700 transmitter sites and needed an efficient method for remote monitoring of electricity consumption. Manual readings were time-consuming and prone to errors, which complicated accurate billing of consumption to individual tenants at the transmitters. The company was seeking a solution that would enable centralized data collection, automated billing, and better control over energy consumption.
The Implementation of the FLOWBOX SW Platform Enabled:
- Remote data collection from 950 electricity meters located at 700 transmitters.
- Automated billing – integration with the customer's billing system allows for accurate allocation of consumption to individual tenants.
- Complete management of IoT devices – integration of various sensors and meters into a single platform.
- Graphical data visualization – clear dashboards and reports for easy consumption analysis.
- Automatic alarms – alerts for abnormal consumption or malfunctions.
- Multi-tenancy – access rights for various user levels and departments.
Benefits
Thanks to the implementation of FLOWBOX, Towercom gained full control over energy consumption at its transmitters, eliminated unnecessary manual work, and streamlined the billing process. Automated data collection brought higher accuracy and transparency in allocating costs among individual tenants. The entire system now allows for quick responses to any non-standard situations, significantly reducing operational costs.
"Thanks to FLOWBOX, we finally have all data in one place and don't have to rely on manual readings. The entire process of collection and billing has been significantly simplified and accelerated. Moreover, we can now immediately respond to any non-standard situations, which saves us time and costs. For us, this is a big step forward in digitizing energy management.
Additionally, we have also deployed FLOWBOX as an IoT platform for our customer projects, where we can very quickly integrate various IoT sensors and monitor and archive measured values across Slovakia."
