The SEM-Suite was developed by CANCOM Austria to remotely read and configure digital electricity, gas, water and heating/cooling meters regardless of manufacturer, type and communication technology.
Smart Energy Management
SEM makes life easier for energy suppliers - thanks to CANCOM.
Check, process and pass on data - the SEM suite can do it all
The meter data received in the SEM suite is checked for plausibility, stored in historicized form and processed in order to pass it on to higher-level systems (e.g. billing and customer portals). The modern user interface enables maximum convenience and offers many tools to support the smooth operation of a smart meter system, such as ...

Intelligent energy supply - smart grid needs smart meters
Smart meters form the basis for smart energy management systems (SEMS) - the intelligent electricity grid of the future. This smart grid enables the efficient integration of important components such as decentralised renewable energies, PV systems, e-mobility and automatic load distribution. At the same time, the Electricity Directive in the third EU internal market package calls for the introduction of "intelligent metering systems" - i.e. smart meters - for all energy consumers in order to use energy more smartly, efficiently and increasingly automatically.
Despite these developments, many business processes at energy suppliers and grid operators are still handled manually - often laboriously and cost-intensively. The energy sector is therefore currently undergoing fundamental change. Driven by the introduction of modern SEM solutions, numerous processes are being digitalised - the basis for future-oriented energy management, in which energy consumption can be automatically optimised, controlled and sustainably reduced. Surplus energy from your own PV system can also be utilised more intelligently.
One of the key components for the digitalisation of these business processes is the CANCOM Austria SEM Suite, which acts as a central data hub and receives, processes and forwards information from a wide variety of systems (billing, SAP, customer portals, smart meters, etc.). The result is a smart energy management system that integrates devices of all kinds, links processes efficiently and thus paves the way for smart, automated energy processes.
Expandable as required - four flexible modules
The modular architecture allows the flexible integration of different SEM systems:
Meter data management
(MDM)
Head-end system
(HES)
Key management
(KMS)
Customer portal
Ready for the energy transition? We are!
The Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) is the central management tool in modern smart meter environments for monitoring both system and business processes, recognising faults at an early stage and rectifying them automatically and efficiently. As a Smart Energy Manager, it actively supports grid operators in energy management and enables the precise control of complex processes - simply, intuitively and with real-time information for an intelligent energy balance.
Above all, grid operators benefit from noticeable efficiency gains in grid operation through the introduction of smart metering. Time-consuming processes such as meter reading, billing, relocation processing and commissioning or switching off systems can be automated, digitalised and significantly simplified with SEM. The utilisation of surplus energy, for example from a connected PV system, can also be controlled more intelligently. The result is an innovative SEM solution that integrates devices of all types and generations, optimises energy consumption and sustainably reduces costs - for more control, future-proof processes and intelligent next-generation energy solutions.
