Itron Inspire 2024: Uncover What’s Possible in the Knowledge Center

The wait is almost over-Itron Inspire 2024 is just days away!  We can't wait to open the doors to the Knowledge Center, where innovation meets real-world impact and utility transformation. More than just a showcase, the Knowledge Center is your chance to explore Itron's cutting-edge solutions and partner technologies up close. Attendees can see product demos, chat one-on-one with our knowledgeable experts and discover how these innovations are shaping the future of utilities and cities. From informative stations to hands-on demonstrations, the Knowledge Center is the place to find the inspiration you need to take your utility's operations to the next level.

This year, we're excited to present demonstrations and showcase solutions at Itron Inspire that highlight: 

Unlocking Intelligence at the Edge

At Itron, we understand the growing challenges utilities are facing. To ensure resilient and reliable service, utilities need to leverage grid edge intelligence, which enables them to take advantage of real-time data from smart meters, sensors, IoT devices and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). This technology enables sub-second autonomous control for improved reliability, stability and infrastructure protection. Utilities can manage electric vehicle (EV) impacts, control substation voltage and reduce transformer overload, all while maintaining more visibility and control than ever before. In the Knowledge Center at Itron Inspire, we'll show you how with our Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio.

Turn Behind-the-Meter-Devices into Grid Assets

EV charging and building automation systems are predicted to make up half of the total U.S. DER capacity by 2028, while the other half will come from generation-based resources like distributed solar and energy storage. This concentrated demand poses a significant challenge for utilities striving to maintain a stable and reliable power supply. As utilities work to ensure the grid can accommodate the surge of intermittent resources, real-time data collection, distributed intelligence (DI) and advanced grid analytics will continue to play an increasingly critical role in grid management. Stop by the Grid Edge DERMS area in the Knowledge Center to learn how Itron's DER-based grid services bring visibility, awareness and automation to the grid edge.

Address Technical and Business Challenges with a Flexible Network

Utilities are striving to provide the best possible services while navigating complexities like budgets, staff, regulatory requirements and rapidly evolving business models. By implementing an Intelligent Connectivity suite that's proven, interoperable, secure and designed to stand the test of time, your utility can effectively manage and control the devices essential to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity, gas and water, in addition to critical smart city services. With the right network implementation, there's no limit to what your utility can achieve. Visit the Knowledge Center to learn how-all with a single suite.

Smart Water Solutions to Make Every Drop Count

The future of water is digital, and water utilities are embracing new solutions to modernize their systems and infrastructure. Itron Smart Water Solutions meet utilities where they are today with a plan to build for a digitized future. It starts with solutions to measure and control, connect and communicate in ways that provide insights and action. Our Smart Water portfolio features Temetra™ data collection and management, a cloud-based multi-vendor, multi-commodity solution that eases the transition from AMR to AMI. Leading edge cellular connectivity and Artificial Intelligence address utilities' toughest challenges today - and tomorrow.

Exploring Gas Edge Solutions

The gas industry is in a state of digital transformation-and we're ready with game-changing Gas Edge technology. Explore how we're expanding our portfolio with cutting-edge developments in cellular and mesh networking, Gas Distribution Safety applications, and our award-winning Intelis Gas ultrasonic meter. Join us as we lead the movement at the gas edge, helping address challenges to enhance safety, reliability and operations.

Scalable, Customizable Smart City Applications

Imagine delivering services that improve efficiency, lower carbon emissions, create safer neighborhoods and enhance both equality and quality of life for citizens. In the Knowledge Center, attendees will learn about our data-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, sustainability and quality of life for cities of all sizes and geographies. With networked smart streetlights, your city can establish a multi-application network canopy, able to support any number of smart city solutions beyond lighting and paving the way for more sustainable, better-connected communities.

An Intelligent Approach to the Modern Grid

Distribution automation (DA) technology is responsible for monitoring, controlling and optimizing grid efficiency. These low- and medium- voltage solutions can help you provide reliable, safe energy with minimal disruption. In the Knowledge Center, attendees will learn about the capabilities of Itron's DA communications and intelligent connectivity solutions, which enable utilities to plan and operate distribution systems to maintain voltage across the network and reroute power in case of disruptions. In addition, they will see firsthand how reliable communication and endpoint connectivity enable a smarter, flexible and more secure grid.
