Can we help you?
The most common questions and answers.
1. What software solutions does Usanca Metering Solutions offer?
Our main solution is the Gestio Home platform.
It is currently monitoring more than 500,000 meters in more than 100,000 homes and other environments such as shopping centers, sports centers, office buildings, etc.
Basically, it is a management platform for energy meters hosted in a Master Control Unit located in the client’s offices.
We also offer other developments such as Gestio Factory, a management platform for industrial environments, and multiple programs dedicated to monitoring, integrating, or communicating with multiple energy devices (SCADAs, probes, thermostats, etc.).
2. What hardware solutions?
Together with the software developments, we have several devices developed 100% by Usanca Metering, achieving a powerful union and creating the most effective and versatile solutions on the market:
- Master Control Unit CM100 (With the capacity to monitor up to 30 installations)
- Multiprotocol Concentrator C200 (Compatible with Wireless MBus OMS, MBus, ModBus, KNX protocols, among others)
- Wireless MBus Repeater R250 (With reading capacity of multiple manufacturers, and capacity to create multi-hop networks)
- SmartPulse Concentrator (Suitable for data acquisition from meters with pulse output)
- Walk-By Tool (Tablet + Wireless MBus module for on-site data acquisition)
3. What advantages does Gestio Home offer to the maintainer/installer?
The platform achieves three objectives:
- Minimize the cost and administrative errors
- Increase profits compared to other business models in readings
- Offer a better product to the client, building customer loyalty to the installation
4. What advantages does Gestio Home offer to the end customer?
Having the most complete platform on the market, with the possibility of controlling and comparing consumption and invoices in maximum detail, being a basic tool to reduce the energy consumption of our home.
5. What types of meters does the platform read?
Due to its nature, the platform is capable of acquiring data from DHW, cold water, electricity, and energy meters. Also from cost allocators, probes, and energy meters in general.
According to protocols, we integrate MBus, Wireless MBus/OMS, ModBus, and KNX devices, among others.
The universality of our equipment allows us to offer the best solution currently available on the market.
6. Walk-by, AMR, which option to choose?
There are two reading options:
- Walk-By, which is on-site reading, with a longer reading ratio (usually monthly or bimonthly)
- AMR, fixed reading station, in which the data is collected daily
Both options are 100% valid, a lower initial outlay is required in the first one, but in the long run the second one is always more economical and complete.
Depending on the type of installation, maintenance, and customer needs, you can choose either of the two options.
7. How are readings taken?
In the case of Walk-By, our platform is prepared to receive the import of data from our Walk-By equipment, or from the equipment of the manufacturers that we have integrated into the platform. This import can be done remotely or locally.
In AMR installations, readings are automatically collected and uploaded to the platform, which eliminates the concept of “performing the reading” as a manual and costly procedure.
8. What types of receipts can I make?
From the platform we can make the following receipts:
- Heating (with energy meters or cost allocators)
- DHW
- Cold water
- Electricity
9. What type of contract is offered with the platform?
We do not want you to have ties, or to pay large registration fees or usurious contracts for many years.
We only require a minimum of 24 months, which is the period in which we believe there is a return on investment on our part and the client can assess the use of Gestio Home.
10. How much will I save?
Usanca with its platform helps you save.
- Savings in consumption (Savings of up to 30% can be achieved with the installation of cost allocators and control of consumption by the client)
- Savings in administrative tasks for both the maintainer/installer and the property manager
- Savings in procedures, meetings, and clarification of doubts: From the first day of using the platform, maximum transparency is achieved in the installation data
