Smart Energy Solutions

Unlock the
future of energy

Smart meters, energy management platforms, and other utility devices all need secure data storage that lasts long term. Our smart meter storage software and networking keep critical energy data secure and accessible, staying fault-tolerant even after power interruptions or system failures.

Best-in-class solutions

Unlock the future of energy 

We partner with industry leaders to deliver storage that powers the next generation of energy systems. Smart meters are now edge intelligence platforms: sensing, running dynamic applications, and holding measurement data for 20+ years, where corrupted data is worse than no data for billing and grid trust. As utilities add more autonomy and edge decisioning, the physical AI data layer becomes a requirement: trusted, always-available data that supports safe control and reliable decision making across the grid. Our smart metering solutions keep that data intact through power interruptions, with secure storage and connectivity at the device level.

The leader in technologies* enabling resourceful energy and water use needed to ensure its new line of smartmeters would securely and consistently store data. This new edge intelligence platform supports sensing technologies and dynamic applications at the device level.

Key benefits

Reasons to choose Tuxera

When it comes to smart meters, no data is better than inaccurate data. Our solutions help prevent data corruption, extend device lifespans, and secure sensitive information, so you can meet utility requirements while cutting maintenance costs. 

Device longevity 

Even a small component like the file system can have a huge impact on overall device longevity. Our flash-friendly file systems help smart meters last over 30 years, well beyond the industry standard of 15–20. That means fewer replacements and less environmental impact.

Power fail-safe data storage 

Data loss and corruption are common issues with open-source and in-house systems. Our power fail-safe file systems ensure meters boot without corruption after power interruptions, preventing billing disputes and keeping your customers happy.

Enhanced data security

Tampering with data is a serious concern in the energy sector. Our state-of-the-art encryption and security features protect sensitive consumption data throughout the entire energy ecosystem, from secure storage to encrypted transmission.

Reduced maintenance costs

Every on-site smart meter repair or replacement adds up. Our solutions prevent data corruption and flash memory wear, helping smart meters run for decades, so there’s no need for costly service visits.

USE case examples

What smart energy companies can do with Tuxera 

Our file systems, networking, and embedded software tackle the toughest challenges across the smart energy infrastructure.  

Smarter metering

Meter manufacturers faced a major shift from mechanical to digital systems, suddenly requiring software expertise they might not have had. Smart meters need to store data for 20+ years, but without the right file system, flash memory typically works for just seven to eight years before wearing out and causing data corruption. Our specialized software extends device life while preventing data loss and avoiding costly field replacements.

Our best products for this use case

Extend battery life in water meters

Water meters face unique challenges. Battery-powered devices should operate for 15+ years without maintenance. Our lightweight file systems minimize power consumption while maintaining data integrity, helping these devices achieve their multi-decade lifespan even in demanding underground environments.  

Our best products for this use case

Ensure safety in gas metering

Gas meters demand accurate, consistent operation, as readings affect both billing and safety. Like water meters, they often run on battery power and should operate for nearly two decades. Our solutions help you meet strict regulations and environmental challenges, giving these critical safety devices a data foundation that holds through interruptions.

Our best products for this use case

Connected smart grid infrastructure

The smart grid connects smart meters, substations, gateways, and control centers. This network requires consistent data handling at every point to prevent information loss. Our file systems safely store critical data, while our networking software ensures secure communications between components.
