Read the ArticleWhen reliability and connectivity are key
Our metering display and embedded systems are designed with the user in mind. Working with you to understand the needs of your customers, we can help you achieve an innovative display and embedded design fit for increasingly demanding user expectations.
How can I get the optimum display user experience?
Display technology selection
Utility and Smart Metering devices may be exposed to either very bright or dark light conditions, especially when installed outdoors. We can help you select the most suitable colour or monochrome display technology for optimum readability even in the most challenging environment.
Bespoke backlight design
The display alone may not provide the high clarity and viewability you desire, so we can guide you through additional optimisation, including backlight enhancement or the adoption of specific filters to reduce glare and reflection using our coverlens service
How can I ensure a reliable display and embedded design?
Longevity
Utility metering devices are designed to last and therefore long term durability is a critical factor. By selecting automotive grade components (such as the polariser and controller IC) you can achieve a design delivering superior longevity.
Learn MoreEMC shielding
Where your meter is situated will effect EMI levels. We can help you selecting the right components for your display and embedded design that will ensure a higher immunity to EMI.
Learn MoreHigh thermal management
Temperature fluctuations can adversely affect operation of your metering device. We offer display and embedded components that can cope with wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +80°C to ensure smooth and reliable operation.

Bespoke board design
Reliable data collection and real time monitoring is what smart metering devices are all about. Transferring valuable data out of the home and into the cloud requires CPUs with specific I/O functionality including WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G or 4G data communication protocol – read more about our motherboard customisation services.
Learn MoreEmbedded design trade-offs
Metering devices often use segment or alphanumeric displays and are driven by small microcontrollers. But if a more enhanced user experience is needed using a colourful graphic display, we can help you manage the various embedded design trade-offs, using high-quality development tools and our experience in coding sophisticated GUIs
