The Utilities industry is going through significant changes through new mandates from the regulator to prepare to become a 'Distribution System Operator'. 

This will involve distributing and managing energy from the generation sources such as Solar, Electric Batteries, and Electric Vehicles to the final consumers and at the same time safely managing the network and ensuring customer safety.

Real Time and Non-Real-Time, two-way flow of data between the devices, customer and distributor, and automated operational analytics will be key to achieve these outcomes.
