Panasonic Industry exhibits at Enlit Europe 2024

Visitors to Panasonic’s stand in Hall 6, Booth A60 will be able to learn more about how Panasonic’s product solutions can support utility companies in digitalising each stage of the energy distribution.

Come and meet the technical experts from Panasonic Industry to find out more about:

• Wireless mesh connectivity solutions
• Batteries (including the new CR-LAS battery)
• Panasonic Toughbooks
• Gas meters (NexMeter), Water Meters and service solutions

In recent years, the digitalisation of utility infrastructure has become a critical focus for utility companies. Compliance with new government regulations for smart meters has become increasingly important. Additionally, key concerns now include the accuracy and efficiency of energy measurements, the safety of smart gas and water meters, the secure distribution of gas and hydrogen, and issues related to leakage, seismic activity, and pressure. Furthermore, utility workers have increasingly taken on IT responsibilities, necessitating the use of reliable mobile computing devices.

To address these evolving requirements, Panasonic Industry offers a range of product solutions, many of which will be showcased at Enlit Europe in Hall 6, Booth A60, where they will be demonstrated and discussed.

Through its efforts in wireless connectivity for the Internet of Things, Panasonic continues to deliver robust wireless mesh solutions capable of scaling to thousands of devices within a single network. Designed for industrial applications like solar, metering, and digital twinning, Panasonic enables key stakeholders in the utility sector to harness the power of mesh networking to their advantage.

After introducing the CR-LAZ Lithium battery with 3Ah capacity at last year’s Enlit Europe, Panasonic Energy this year introduces the CR-LAS Lithium battery in a laser sealed stainless steel can, the first ever Lithium cell from Panasonic with 3,5Ah capacity. The battery can be used in harsh environments from -40 up to +85 degrees Celsius and benefits from a very long lifetime and superb high drain discharge performance for various applications.

Panasonic Toughbooks are particularly well-suited for last-mile field operations in the utility sector. They enable field workers to perform their tasks efficiently and reliably, even under challenging conditions, thereby ensuring continuous service delivery and operational effectiveness. “A reliable mobile computing device is one of the primary tools used by utility field workers for the continuous exchange of information between the field and the back office. Highly accurate and reliable GPS signals are essential for locating, navigating to, and communicating the position of water leaks, pipes, and other repair and maintenance needs,” remarks Nick Miller, Vertical Strategy Manager at Panasonic Connect.
