Energy and utility software brings transformer, feeder, meter and plant data into one place and shows where losses and faults occur. Digital Bridge delivers grid SCADA monitoring, remote meter reading, loss and theft analysis and field asset management for generation, distribution and utility operators, together with the field measurement hardware.
Network losses, an overloaded transformer or a plant generating below expectation stay invisible wherever there is no measurement. With monthly meter rounds and scattered spreadsheets, problems surface only when a billing dispute or an outage arrives, and field crews set off without knowing where to look first. We manufacture the field hardware and build the software in the same team, so data flows from sensor to report under a single point of accountability. On custom SCADA projects the source code belongs to you, with no additional licence fees.
Substation, feeder and breaker states are monitored live; when a breaker trips, the affected line shows on screen. Our SCADA platform shortens the time it takes to locate a fault.
Electricity, water and gas meters are read over GPRS, LoRa or NB-IoT, cutting reading rounds and estimated bills. We install our OSOS system turnkey.
Deviations in consumption profiles are caught by anomaly detection; suspect accounts are ranked by priority and sent to field crews as work orders.
Inverter-level generation, performance ratio and expected-versus-actual comparison. Soiled panels or faulty strings show up without waiting for the month-end yield report.
Poles, transformers, panels and lines on a map. Maintenance is planned through GIS and field service systems, and every job is added to the asset history.
Harmonics, voltage imbalance and reactive power are monitored. Peak management and demand-limiting scenarios show reactive penalty and capacity overrun risk before it hits the bill.
We document existing measurement points, communications infrastructure and the blind spots where no data arrives at all.
We plan which device, communication protocol and sampling interval each point needs.
Devices are installed, communications tested end to end, and the central platform and alarms brought online.
We analyse the first period of data, report where losses occur and hand the system over to your operations team with training.
In one distribution area, the gap between the energy measured at a transformer's output and the total consumption of the subscribers connected to it keeps growing. The system shows that gap transformer by transformer, then compares consumption profiles and highlights meters showing an unexpected drop against their own history. Instead of sweeping the whole area, the field crew starts with the addresses at the top of the priority list, and each check and its outcome is recorded in the asset's history. In the next period, the report shows how the gap at that transformer has changed.
"We have meters and devices from several manufacturers in the field." During the survey we review your existing devices and communication infrastructure; suitable ones are connected, and for missing measurement points we can design and manufacture the hardware ourselves.
"We do not want to be tied to a single supplier." With custom SCADA you own the source code, so you can continue developing the system with your own team or another supplier later.
"Do we have to roll it out everywhere at once?" No. You can start with the area or site where losses are most likely and expand once you have seen the first period of data; phases and their costs are listed separately in the written proposal.
"Can we move beyond reacting to faults?" As data builds up, maintenance can be planned around equipment condition; for that step see our predictive maintenance solution. Technical support for the live system is available 24/7.
Remote reading only collects data. The value comes from using it to detect losses, anticipate faults and plan load. That is why we always build the reading infrastructure together with the analytics layer, and hand over with a report on the loss points found in the first period of data.

Why Digital Bridge: since 2013 we have built measurement hardware and software in the same team, so data flows from sensor to report under a single point of accountability. After the site survey we set out scope and cost in a written proposal. Let us map your blind spots together.
We deliver grid SCADA and remote monitoring, remote meter reading, loss and theft analysis, solar and renewable monitoring, map-based asset inventory and field management, and power quality and demand management. Because we manufacture the field measurement hardware and build the software in the same team, data flows from sensor to report under a single point of accountability.
First, blind spots with no measurement are identified on site and measurement points are installed. Deviations in consumption profiles are then caught by anomaly detection, and suspect accounts are ranked by priority and sent to field crews as work orders. After installation we analyse the first period of data, report where losses occur and hand the system over to your team.
Electricity, water and gas meters are read over GPRS, LoRa or NB-IoT. The site survey sets which device, protocol and sampling interval each point needs. This cuts reading rounds and estimated bills. We always install the reading infrastructure together with an analysis layer, because the value comes from using the data for loss detection, fault prediction and load planning.
On custom SCADA projects the source code belongs to the client, with no additional licence fees. Substation, feeder and breaker states are monitored live; when a breaker trips, the affected line shows on screen and faults are located faster. Since the field hardware and software come from the same team, you have one point of contact from measurement to alarm.
Yes. Inverter-level generation, performance ratio and expected-versus-actual output are monitored on one dashboard. Soiled panels or faulty strings show up without waiting for the month-end yield report. Solar monitoring can run on the same platform as grid SCADA, remote meter reading and field asset management, so generation and distribution data are not scattered across separate systems.
In most cases, yes. During the site survey, existing meters, analysers and communication infrastructure are reviewed one by one, and devices that can provide data are connected. For points with no measurement or no data output, Digital Bridge can design and manufacture the required hardware itself. The operator keeps its working devices and monitors every point from one centre.
