Sequentric Energy Systems Releases Smart Energy Tablet

Sequentric Energy Systems, a smart grid technology innovator, has launched its seven-inch touchscreen Smart Energy Tablet.


The newly introduced tablet creates an energy Internet “hot line,” which allows utilities to present a wide range of highly customizable energy related information directly to residential and business customers.

The Smart Energy Tablet of Sequentric connects over the Internet to utility company servers running Sequentric’s integrated imaging and data collection/management software. The tablet, after installation, gives the utility an unprecedented ability to present a wide range of information to its customers.

The information offered is highly customizable and includes near real-time home and appliance energy consumption with Sequentric’s patent pending state indication overlay; demand response event information and emergency alerts; interim and final monthly electric bills; price signals, time-of-use and critical peak updates; pre-paid electric account status and billing management; and the display of any third-party information that the utility has permission to provide such as Google PowerMeter or Microsoft (News - Alert) HohmTM.

The display resolution is 800x600 pixels with a 500:1 contrast ratio.

In a press release, Daniel Flohr, Sequentric’s CEO, said: “Our new Smart Energy Tablet is a perfect tool for electric utilities to help engage customers and plug them into a dynamic smart grid. We are offering an extremely flexible, high quality device at a price point that we believe is critical for large scale deployment. As the product rolls out, we’ve got an extensive roadmap of new features that, through remote firmware upgrades, will dramatically increase its functionality. As new understandings about customer engagement evolve, incorporating new content for the Smart Energy Tablet is easy and will extend the value for both the utility and its customers for years to come.”

Sequentric Energy Systems recently supplied its demand management hardware and software to Groton Electric Light Department of Groton, Mass., for its smart grid deployment.
