Landis+Gyr contributes to energy conscious future with AGUILOG®
AGUILOG® offers utilities ability to achieve operational efficiency and better
customer service
Zug, Switzerland, 3 February, 2010 – Landis+Gyr, as part of its contribution to
the development of an energy conscious future, today launches AGUILOG®, a
solution designed to optimise utility operations and improve overall service
efficiency.
“AGUILOG® from Landis+Gyr has been designed with global challenges in mind.
This is a supervision and early warning system designed to help utilities keep ripple
control signal propagation to – and reception quality of – the receivers across its
network constant, which is essential when delivering a top quality service in a liberalised market. AGUILOG® contributes to a utility’s bottom line by helping to optimize its operations,” says Tommy Blaser, Product Manager Load Management at
Landis+Gyr, “Long-term analyses provide a trend forecast that allows a utility to anticipate necessary maintenance in the network and prevent cost and time-intensive
network errors from arising, thereby keeping service levels constant and end customers happy.”
An open system fully compatible with all existing ripple control installations throughout the world, the AGUILOG® system allows simultaneous and exact monitoring of
ripple control signals to receivers at different network locations. Utilities propagate
messages to receivers in a specific area or to their entire network. These signals
switch boilers, heating, street lights and tariff modes on meters. AGUILOG® contributes to operational efficiency within a utility and can therefore lead to significant cost
savings along its value chain.
Often referred to as the ‘fifth fuel’ ripple control, which is categorised under load
management, is a key method to achieve energy efficiency without needing to make
significant investment into generation capacity. Utilities use load management infrastructure to promote consumption reduction within their distribution area and to op

timise peak time purchasing and network investments, while at the same time maintaining expected service levels for the end consumer.
With global concern over the future of energy production growing, effective energy
management provides a significant means to ensuring that the world’s increasing
population has access to an adequate and seamless power supply, today and tomorrow.
