Energy IoT Solutions in Durham
Connected devices for Durham energy assets — meters, sensors, controllers, plant monitoring. What separates these from most IoT work is life expectancy: a device fitted in a plant room or a substation may run for a decade with nobody visiting it, so the remote update path decides whether the estate is an asset or a growing liability.
Why this comes up
The problem
Devices were installed, they worked, and three years later there is no way to patch them and no record of which firmware is where.
What you get
What we deliver
- Remote firmware updates proven before the first unit is deployed at scale
- An inventory that knows what is installed where and what it is running
- Behaviour defined for devices that lose connectivity for days
- Power and connectivity designed for the actual site, not the office bench
- Device identity managed so a stolen unit cannot impersonate a good one
- Consumption data treated as personal where it maps to a household

Energy IoT Solutions in Durham — common questions
- Why is the update path the first decision?
- Because a device you cannot update is a device you cannot fix. Over ten years there will be a security issue, a protocol change or a bug that matters, and the alternative to remote update is sending an engineer to every site — which often costs more than the estate is worth.
- What happens when a device goes offline?
- Decide deliberately: buffer readings locally and send them later, or accept the gap. Energy data with unexplained holes cannot be used for settlement or billing, so local storage sized to a realistic outage is usually worth the small extra hardware cost.
- Is consumption data personal data?
- Where it relates to a household, yes — and fine-grained readings reveal when people are in, asleep or away. That makes granularity a decision with a privacy dimension rather than purely a technical one, and it should be justified by what you actually need.
- How do we handle sites with poor connectivity?
- Choose the radio technology for the worst site, not the average one. Plant rooms, basements and rural substations defeat cellular routinely, and a long-range low-bandwidth network that reliably delivers a small payload beats a fast one that fails half the time.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
