3 ways to future-proof your smart energy solution

When developing a smart energy solution, the focus often is to match the current needs of potential customers with current technology.

With the rapid pace of IoT technology, new innovations are, however, developed continuously. This means new possibilities are opening for smart energy solutions continually.

The constant new developments might make it seem difficult to prevent a solution from being outdated. But this does not have to be the case.

With these strategies in place, you can future-proof your smart energy solution:

• Ensure a high level of security
• Enhance flexibility
• Use OTA updates

Ensure a high level of security

Lowering security measures means increasing risk. For this reason, the level of security within your smart energy solution needs to be a key priority – especially in terms of future-proofing it.

If your customers are worried about their personal data being tampered with or stolen when using your solution, it will affect their willingness to adopt it. So, when placing a smart energy solution on the market in your brand, you need to ensure that it lives up to strict security standards.

Use OTA updates

With the rapid development of technology, the ability to perform remote firmware updates on connected devices is crucial for the survival of a smart energy solution.

By integrating devices into the solution that can receive and install over-the-air (OTA) updates, its longevity is extended remarkably.

With Onics’ wide range of smart energy devices as part of your solution, you will be able to future-proof it as they allow OTA updates.
