From "Precise Metering" to "Absolute Control": How are IVY's New LoRaWAN Meters and Anti-magnetic Motor Relays Reshaping the Smart Grid?


As the global energy landscape shifts towards digitalization and decentralization, smart grids and advanced metering architectures (AMIs) are undergoing unprecedented upgrades. Modern utilities and system integrators have long since moved beyond simple "data collection" for meters, demanding stringent challenges in "wide-area communication, remote control, anti-theft measures, and extreme stability."


To address this industry pain point, IVY Metering has launched two revolutionary products designed specifically for next-generation smart metering: the EM514012 three-phase LoRaWAN smart meter and the IM-M1005 small motor latching relay. From the complete device to core components, IVY is providing a completely new approach to the smart grid.

"Wireless Brain": The EM514012 Three-Phase LoRaWAN Energy Meter. How can low-power, long-distance data transmission be achieved in complex urban environments or vast rural areas? LoRaWAN technology provides the best answer.

IVY's newly launched EM514012 is a powerful three-phase LoRaWAN electricity meter with a capacity of up to 100A. Operating in the EU868 band, it perfectly matches IoT communication standards in Europe and many other parts of the world, ensuring strong data penetration and stable connections.

But the EM514012's power extends far beyond communication; it's a true "smart energy manager":

Hardcore precision of the MID standard: Strictly compliant with EU MID standards, ensuring legal compliance and extreme accuracy in every meter reading, meeting utility-level billing requirements.

Built-in relay for "absolute control": The device integrates a high-power holding relay. This means that administrators can remotely control loads at any time via the LoRaWAN network.

Seamless integration with prepaid systems: Combined with remote on/off functionality, the EM514012 becomes the perfect platform for prepaid systems. Automatic power cut-off for overdue payments, instant power restoration upon top-up, completely solving the problem of electricity bill collection and greatly optimizing cash flow management for property management companies, commercial parks, and power grid companies.


"The Strongest Heart": IM-M1005 Magnetic Immune Latching Relay

For hardware engineers dedicated to the independent development of smart meters, the relay is the key "heart" determining product lifespan and anti-interference capabilities. Addressing common pain points in smart meter design, IVY has introduced a compact yet incredibly powerful new product—the IM-M1005 single-phase 80A motor latching relay.

A game-changing leap in motor-driven technology: Compared to traditional pulse drives, the IM-M1005 employs advanced motor-driven technology, resulting in stronger and smoother contact switching, completely eliminating contact sticking or switching failures caused by voltage fluctuations, and significantly extending mechanical life.

500mT Super Strong Anti-Magnetic Field Immunity: "Magnetic electricity theft" has always been a major problem for power grid companies. The IM-M1005 boasts an anti-magnetic field interference capability of up to 500mT. Even if criminals use powerful rare-earth magnets to approach the meter, the relay remains completely still, firmly safeguarding the power grid against electricity theft.

Ultra-compact design: In the space-constrained PCB layout of electricity meters, the IM-M1005 offers a robust 80A load capacity in an extremely compact form, leaving engineers with more design flexibility.


Partner with IVY to Build the Next Generation of Smart Metering Networks

Whether it's directly deploying the EM514012 LoRaWAN meter with cutting-edge communication and prepaid functionality, or introducing the anti-magnetic and tamper-proof IM-M1005 motor relay into your meter development, IVY Metering is driven by technological innovation, providing the most reliable foundation for global smart grid construction. The blueprint for the future power grid has been unveiled; accuracy, intelligence, and security are all indispensable.
