OuroPlatform

OuroPlatform is a comprehensive smart metering platform for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). It provides a full stack of tools for remote meter reading, device management, and data collection across multiple meter manufacturers and utility media — electricity, water, gas, and heat — all within a unified, cloud-native, Kubernetes-ready system.

OuroPlatform brings together key components to cover the entire metering lifecycle:

• OpenHES — a Head-End System for remote device communication and data collection.
• Collector Mobile Client — a mobile application for field meter reading, installation, and configuration.
• Network & data model — a unified data model that organizes the metering domain and turns raw readings into structured, queryable data.
• Real-time monitoring — live data streaming (SCADA) with an integrated visualization interface.
• Open & extensible — a public API, SDKs, a command-line tool, and an extension framework.

OpenHES is the core communication engine of OuroPlatform, designed to manage and communicate with energy devices such as smart electricity meters. It uses modern technologies for efficient device management, data collection, and data storage.

With its scalable and extensible architecture, OpenHES enables seamless integration with smart meters from various manufacturers and supports multiple communication protocols, including DLMS/COSEM, enabling communication over GPRS, NB-IoT, PLC (G3-PLC, PRIME), and other technologies.

Its primary goal is to optimize data collection and processing in the energy sector as part of a complete advanced metering infrastructure.

• Meter data reading - Supports various meter types in pull and push modes, including mobile readings via the Collector Mobile Client application.
• Multi-vendor support - Compatible with smart meters from all major manufacturers; enables limiter and relay control, TOU table uploads, and time synchronization.
• DLMS/COSEM compliance - Full protocol support ensuring interoperability across the smart metering ecosystem.
• Remote communication and configuration - Supports FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) and remote meter management.
• Integration API - Open API for easy integration with third-party billing, data management, and utility systems.
• Driver API - Allows integration of custom drivers, including drivers developed by meter manufacturers.
• Built-in monitoring - Integrates with standard monitoring systems.
• Flexible deployment - Available in both cloud and on-premise environments.

Thanks to modern technologies, OpenHES is fast, stable, and highly scalable. Its robust architecture and carefully selected programming language ensure a high level of security.

As a cloud-native, multi-vendor head-end system, OpenHES is designed for next-generation AMI deployments — from small-scale rollouts to nationwide smart meter infrastructure.

Beyond remote meter reading, OuroPlatform covers the data and operations layers of a modern utility:

• Network & data model — Model your metering domain as a navigable graph of points of delivery, sites, substations, and customers, viewed through whichever lens you need. Device data is seamlessly stitched together across meter exchanges and can be aggregated across any part of the network.
• Data functions — Define derived and validated values — unit conversions, losses, sums, estimation, and gap filling — without writing code. Results are computed automatically as new data arrives and stored alongside the measured data.
• Real-time monitoring (SCADA) — Live data streaming and an integrated HMI/visualization interface for continuous monitoring and control.
• Multi-utility — One medium-agnostic model for electricity, water, gas, and heat.
• Open & extensible — A contract-first public API, SDKs for Go, Python, and TypeScript, a command-line tool, and an extension framework, enabling your team and partners can build and deploy their own applications on top of the platform.
• Enterprise security & multi-tenancy — Fine-grained role-based access control, zone-based tenant isolation, full audit logging, and FIPS 140-3-aligned cryptography.
