Product Overview
Overview
Utilihive is Greenbird's cloud-native big data integration platform, purpose-built for the digital data-driven utility, offered as a managed service (iPaaS).
Utilihive provides both the technical infrastructure platform (connectivity, integration, data ingestion, data lake, API management) and pre-configured integration content or 'accelerators' to speed up the delivery of innovative data driven services and simplify operations.
Utilihive accelerators include:
- Utilihive SMOC : Centralized Smart Meter Operations Center for smart infrastructure monitoring and management.
- Utilihive Ghostwriter: Provides simulation capability to create realistically scaled meter readings, alarms and events for synthetic metering points or IoT sensors.
- Utilihive Datalake: Distributed data lake architecture for secure storage and real-time data exchange between the OT/IT domains.
- Utilihive Dataflows: Pre-configured integration applications or energy data flows, such as meter-to-cash, alarm & event handling, asset & meter-point synchronization and more.
- Utilihive Adapters: Pre-configured adapters for commonly used utility applications, such as HES, MDM, GIS, SCADA, CIS and more.
Today, Utilihive is used by utilities across Europe, Middle East, Asia and the U.S. serving more than 50 million consumers.
Business Model
Greenbird's platform, Utilihive, is delivered as an enterprise SaaS with a fixed and predictable price per metering point and low upfront cost for onboarding.
Technology Innovations
Unlike other common integration platforms, Utilihive is purpose-built for utilities and energy use cases. Tailored to the utility's data model and data processes, Utilihive delivers both technical big data integration infrastructure and pre-configured integration content in one unified platform and experience.
With pre-build connectors, preconfigured data flows, predefined data models and visualization tools designed for today’s digital utility, Utilihive offers a better platform technology for those wanting to build innovative services and optimize the grid, helping to accelerate the energy transition.
Applications
Greenbird simplifies the complexity of Big Data Integration for utilities to kickstart their digital transformation. With prebuilt integration flows, connectors and its energy data mesh, the Utilihive platform unlocks data from silos helping utilities build sustainable data-driven services in days instead of months of custom coding.
