i2i Systems Joins the AI-SMeCoT Project to Innovate Smart Metering and Communication for Critical Infrastructure

i2i Systems is pleased to announce its participation in the groundbreaking AI-SMeCoT (AI-Based Smart Meter and Communication Technologies for Critical Infrastructures) Project. The project’s kick-off meeting was recently held in Istanbul, bringing together a consortium of prominent stakeholders, including İGDAŞ, NETAŞ, Havelsan, Turkcell, Inercya Solutions, FLONIDAN, Fio Gaz, Panel Sistemas Informaticos, and Charles III University of Madrid. This collaborative effort will leverage advanced technologies to transform the way critical infrastructure is monitored and managed.

AI-SMeCoT Overview
The primary goal of the AI-SMeCoT project is to develop innovative solutions that will conserve energy, enhance operational efficiency, and improve safety in the energy and utility sectors. This will be achieved by using state-of-the-art 5G and NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) technologies to create a secure, real-time communication platform for smart meter management. The system will enable the remote monitoring and control of smart meters, effectively reducing the need for field personnel and vehicles, and minimizing operational costs.

A key component of the project is the use of AI to optimize energy consumption, prevent unauthorized use, and ensure the safety of critical infrastructures. AI will be employed to facilitate the detection of anomalies in real time, allowing for prompt corrective action and efficient resource allocation. Additionally, the system will support automated meter shut-offs during natural disasters, mitigating risks associated with gas leaks, fires, and infrastructure damage, thus enhancing overall public safety.

Innovative Benefits and Impact
One of the central advantages of AI-SMeCoT is its ability to reduce operational and communication expenses through a unified, shared platform for meter reading and management. By centralizing data collection and analysis, the project will not only streamline operational processes but also generate valuable insights that can be applied to further optimize utility operations and improve service delivery.

Furthermore, the vast amount of data generated by the project will be instrumental in developing more advanced technologies and refining existing processes. By harnessing the power of big data analytics, AI-SMeCoT has the potential to revolutionize the way utilities operate, opening up new opportunities for efficiency gains, sustainability, and risk mitigation.

i2i Systems’ Role
i2i Systems is excited to contribute its expertise in the telecommunications and 5G domains to the success of this project. As a key partner, i2i will play a significant role in the integration of advanced network technologies that will power the smart metering systems, ensuring the high performance, reliability, and security of the entire communication infrastructure.
