Enlit Europe 2022 starts today
Meet us at our stand C40 – 12, Italian Pavillon! We couldn’t miss one of the most important international exhibitions about the global energy transition. We will talk about the Italian case of CHAIN2 technology, a virtuous example of energy efficiency, and about the product family CHAIN2 native that we realized to promote it https://www.chain2gate.it/ We also invite you to visit Meters and More AISBL stand, where we will show you the functions of the CHAIN2 channel, as part of energetic ecosystems, both in the indoor and outdoor field.

MAC and the Internet of Things
With the Internet of Things, the Internet extends its power to the world of things, places and processes. The result is an ecosystem which promotes a mechanism of connected nodes, with the aim to transform data into operative actions. Objects and places become recognizable and acquire intelligence thanks to data collection and sharing. MAC is const...

MAC and the Internet of Things
With the Internet of Things, the Internet extends its power to the world of things, places and processes. The result is an ecosystem which promotes a mechanism of connected nodes, with the aim to transform data into operative actions. Objects and places become recognizable and acquire intelligence thanks to data collection and sharing. MAC is constantly increasing its IoT projects as a technology partner, collecting, communicating, analysing and elaborating data. To offer the best solutions to its clients, MAC understands that in order to manage the aspects of Iotization, it is fundamental to govern the complexity of the IoT technology as well as to be able to evaluate the information generated by the data. MAC has been constantly increasing its study and development of physical sensors, virtual smart sensors’ solutions, and is currently studying advanced AI solutions that can be implemented into products.

MAC and Predictive Maintenance
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is a service which seeks to minimize, and in some cases completely eliminate, the risk of negative impacts caused by internal breakdowns for an industrial machine or during an industrial process, optimizing business continuity. MAC is applying its know-how in IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to PdM. In a predicti...

MAC and Predictive Maintenance
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is a service which seeks to minimize, and in some cases completely eliminate, the risk of negative impacts caused by internal breakdowns for an industrial machine or during an industrial process, optimizing business continuity. MAC is applying its know-how in IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to PdM. In a predictive context, AI has been proven as a valid support tool in learning how to manage the big-data generation. AI can also contribute to the correct operation of a process and/or product, simplifying its optimization. This gives us the possibility to evaluate the historical sequence of service interruptions, analyse the weak points with a minor fault tolerance and build advanced architectures. That means storage and real time analysis of data generated by the machine and/or process, through a system of smart elements, and through data acquisition. By observing the storage, and analysing data, it is possible to understand the status of the machine and/or process, and as a result increase the probability of successful decision making. MAC is dedicated to the research and development of Predictive Maintenance, focusing on the electronic board which can collect data generated by smart sensors (both virtual than physical), and locally analyse the significance of this data.

IT’S NOW POSSIBLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE 2ND GENERATION OPEN METER THROUGH C2G
On December 31st e-distribuzione concluded the required integration test and the residential test phase via PLC-C (Chain2) between the new Open Meter and user devices.

IT’S NOW POSSIBLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE 2ND GENERATION OPEN METER THROUGH C2G
On December 31st e-distribuzione concluded the required integration test and the residential test phase via PLC-C (Chain2) between the new Open Meter and user devices. ARERA, the Italian regulatory authority for energy, networks and the environment, requested the tests in order to approve the activation of the second generation of e-distribuzione’s Smart Meter (2G). Those who are interested in activating communication with the Open Meter using the Chain2 technology, must subscribe to a specific contract and need to obtain a user device. As a result, MAC has created Chain2Gate, a smart device that has already participated in the test phase, obtaining 99,8% reliability in terms of communication in Chain2. MAC’s Chain2Gate is a Plug&play device that you can connect to any domestic electric socket. The interface is extremely intuitive: a visual LED indicator shows the status of consumption, equipped with an acoustic signal to warn the user in advance of any imminent blackout. Through the APP, the user can constantly monitor, manage and plan energy consumption throughout the day. MAC is working on an advanced version of the existing device which will take into consideration all the case studies, the Data Model and the relative protocol defined by CEI, integrating Chain2Gate with further functions to increase energy awareness.

MAC AND THE AZURE SPHERE PARTNER PROGRAM
On November 13th and 14th MAC participated to the “Azure Sphere Partner Program” organized in Frankfurt by Microsoft. During these two training days, Microsoft presented Azure Sphere, the project for the production of a new class of microcontrollers (MCU), certified and able to guarantee safe end-to-end communications for IoT applications. MAC was identified as one of the two leading Italian companies in electronic engineering (hardware and software), using avant-garde technologies and implementing IoT solutions. Through this meeting, Microsoft has laid the foundations to create the first selected, global community in possession of Azure Sphere’s skills and know how. Participants were able to discover the most recent class of microcontrollers, operative systems and cloud technologies which make Azure Sphere a reliable yet extremely avant-garde project.
