Based on its recent analysis of the North American smart infrastructure monitoring market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Aclara, part of Hubbell Power Systems’ family of brands, with the 2019 North American New Product Innovation Award for its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, AclaraONE® (One Network for Everyone). The platform is a secure, unified solution that improves operational efficiency, reliability and responsiveness by monitoring and managing an increasingly distributed smart grid. AclaraONE is a scalable platform that provides a single shared view of utility operations and customer engagement to electric, water and gas utilities.
AclaraONE is making intelligent automation a reality with its real-time information that monitors critical network connections and analytics capabilities so utilities can act upon and provide reliable safe power. The platform works with all Aclara’s AMI communications networks, employing the data collected from meters and edge devices such as sensors to deliver six key business applications: distribution operations, sensors and analytics, consumer engagement, network management, meter-to-cash and installation services. Each of these applications plays a critical role in improving visibility into utility distribution networks, offering actionable insights to optimize operations, manage demand response and reliability programs, and engage with consumers to promote energy efficiency.
“Significantly, AclaraONE unifies analytics and monitoring capabilities for each of a multi-service utility’s distribution segments on a single platform. It is highly flexible, with features like multitenancy, high adaptability and scalability,” said Nikhil Vinay, Research Analyst. “Aclara also integrates its solutions with control capabilities from Hubbell’s automation devices. This recent product integration, combined with the software’s advanced analytics, enables utilities to manage distribution assets and equipment including reclosers and capacitor banks. Moreover, with the Aclara leak detection solution, water utilities can detect leaks along their water distribution network and pinpoint them within three feet.”
Additionally, the benefits of AclaraONE are enhanced by the low latency, high data throughput and authentication offered by the Aclara RF™ communication network. Plus, Aclara’s partnerships that focus on improving customer relationships and its acquisition by Hubbell position it for greater market visibility.
“Already a success among major utilities in the US such as NV Energy, and DTE Energy, Aclara is expanding its global market presence in the United Kingdom, Europe, Chile and Asia,” noted Vinay. “AclaraONE not only works with all Aclara network products but also integrates with third-party software solutions, making it simpler for existing customers to add value to their systems. By serving as a one-stop solution for electric, gas and water utilities, AclaraONE clearly stands out from the competition.”
