In the era of smart grids, smart metering involves not only measuring the consumption of electricity, gas, water, or heat but also transferring data from a meter or sensor to a data concentrator or cloud. Real-time reporting of energy consumption, resource consumption, weight, temperature, etc., increases consumer awareness, which leads to less potential waste and lower costs. Using smart meters to measure and report energy, water, and gas consumption and reporting allows users to manage their supply and demand in real-time. The main advantages of intelligent measurement systems are lower costs, higher reliability, and less tampering.

Smart industry initiatives such as Industry 4.0 or IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) help machines, factories, and operator workstations become more efficient, intelligent, and knowledgeable, more connected, and safer. The Smart Home and Smart City initiatives drive similar trends with innovative technologies in areas such as lighting, transportation and parking, agriculture, resource sharing, climate monitoring, garbage collection, and home automation.
A high level of innovation is required to develop solutions that meet the specific needs of diverse applications in the industrial market. For example, power and energy management technologies are needed to control power from microwatts in home appliances to megawatts in factory engines and in connectivity solutions that can cover a wide range of data rates from centimeters to tens of kilometers.
Technologies driving the industrial automation and robotics market include ubiquitous embedded processing such as artificial intelligence, wired and wireless connectivity, security and protection, innovative power technologies, cloud and edge computing, and big data analytics. ShuraCore provides Industrial Automation and Robotics services in the following areas:
Mathematical modeling is a universal tool for studying complex technical and technological systems. The role of mathematical modeling and its effectiveness in technical and specialized systems is generally recognized. When analyzing these systems using mathematical modeling, it is possible, in a practical and theoretical way, to assess in advance the consequences of each proposed solution,
Frequency converters are an integral part of modern electric motor designs. These devices allow the output of an alternating current frequency corresponding to the specified range. Frequency converters are in demand in all spheres of life related to electrical energy. Their action is the stable operation of complex drive mechanisms without traditional control equipment and
Networks are the medium for transmitting data. Networks differ depending on the amount of data transferred. Industrial networks are networks that share data on a large scale as well as in real-time. This means that they allow us to connect different devices over long distances and provide communication between them and the transfer of large

The IEC 61131-3 standard specifies five PLC programming languages: three graphical and two textual. The main goal of the standard is to increase the speed and quality of developing programs for PLC, as well as to create programming languages focused on technologists, to ensure that PLC complies with the ideology of open systems, to eliminate
Most automation systems operate with the participation of a person (operator, dispatcher). The interface between the human and the system is called the human-machine interface (HMI). In a particular case, when the HMI is intended for human interaction with an automated technological process, it is called a SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition). Modern
The development of robotic devices can include all stages, from modeling a controlled object model to implementing them on target platforms. The steps described below apply to both mobile and industrial robots and complex robotic systems. Consumer and economic trends worldwide drive the development of multifunctional small-batch contract manufacturing, which must be versatile and efficient.
In the power industry, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and FPGA are being introduced at an accelerated pace.
