Iskraemeco Egypt announced a major expansion with the installation of a new, state-of-the-art SMT (Surface-Mount Technology) production line. This marks the third such expansion for the company, effectively doubling their production capacity. 

However, Iskraemeco's commitment goes beyond simply increasing output. The company emphasizes an unwavering focus on improving quality control throughout the production process. As part of this global initiative, Iskraemeco Egypt has integrated Koh Young's industry-leading 3D SPI (Solder Paste Inspection) technology and upgraded all SMT lines with advanced 3D AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) systems. These investments ensure greater precision and efficiency in the company's PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) manufacturing. 

Iskraemeco's expansion signifies a strategic vision for continued growth and solidifies their partnerships with industry leaders like ASMPT, ASYS, KOH Young Technology, ITW EAE Vitronics Soltec, YJ LINK, Adelec International and Sigma Group Egypt. This move positions Iskraemeco Egypt to deliver high-quality electronic assemblies with increased capacity to meet growing market demands.

ISKRAEMECO SECURES CROATIAN SMART METER TENDER WITH ADVANCED MULTI-COMMUNICATION CAPABILITY

Apr-2024

Leveraging our extensive experience and ongoing market analysis, coupled with partner feedback, we ensure that Iskraemeco's smart meters are continually enhanced to meet customer needs, even in the most demanding projects. 

The IE.5 meters are the third generation of smart metering in Iskraemeco, has been instrumental in this achievement, showcasing significant improvements based on continuous market observation and partner's input. 

In the Croatian tender, which entails the rollout of over 200,000 Iskraemeco meters over an 18-month period, the IE.5 meter's multi-communication support, including LTE and G3-PLC technologies within a single unit, was a key differentiator. This technology is enhanced by the Iskraemeco data concentrator AC750, which expertly manages network connectivity and monitoring connected devices. The AC750 performs essential functions such as collecting data from meters, storing it, and ensuring its delivery to the head-end system. With the introduction of new firmware functionalities and improvements in G3-PLC, communication with the meters has become even more reliable. 

The dual-communication feature provided the utility with the flexibility to select the most appropriate communication channel for their infrastructure needs and to switch between them as required, facilitating a more efficient data transmission process. 

The LTE and G3 PLC technologies are selected by utility based on its grid requirements, including coverage, data rate needs, and existing infrastructure. LTE is utilized for its high data rates in areas with cellular coverage, while G3-PLC is leveraged in regions where power lines offer a more consistent communication channel. 

A notable improvement of the IE.5 meter is its G3-PLC communication, which monitors the success rate of transmissions. The communication protocol in our meters is initially configured to a default setting – point-to-point communication but can be adjusted to another communication if needed. Special attention has been given to the G3-PLC functionality: once activated, the meters begin to monitor the efficacy of the communication channel. If any disruptions are detected, the system automatically reverts to the LTE channel to maintain a consistent data transmission. This ensures a seamless flow of information and enhances the reliability of data collection. 

This feature not only provides a more robust communication channel, but also reduces the need for additional infrastructure, thereby optimizing capital and operational costs. 

With deployment of our smart meters with multi communication capabilities, utilities adopt a system that offers enhanced flexibility, improved robustness, and increased frequency of data transmission.

Structured cabling is the passive infrastructure that supports the transmission of data, voice, and video signals in a building or campus. It consists of various components, including twisted pair cables, fiber optic cables, and cable accessories. Twisted pair cables are the most common type of cabling used in structured cabling systems. They are composed of two insulated copper conductors that are twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). The most common types of twisted pair cables used in structured cabling are UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) and FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair). Fiber optic cables are another type of cabling used in structured cabling systems. They are made up of glass or plastic cores that transmit light signals. Fiber optic cables are generally used for long distances or high-bandwidth applications. Structured cabling systems typically include a variety of components, such as closures, patch panels, outlets, modules, racks, and cabinets. Closures are used to terminate and splice cables. Patch panels are used to connect cables to other network devices. Outlets are used to provide access to the network for end users. Modules are used to connect cables to patch panels. Racks and cabinets are used to house and organize cabling components. The type of cabling and components used in a structured cabling system will depend on the specific needs of the network.
