Digimondo’s “niotix” Platform Addresses Urgent Need for Low-Voltage Network Openness in Germany
Table of Contents
The implementation of Germany’s Section 14a EnWG, a regulation focused on smart metering and controllable consumption, is now a top priority for energy network operators. A new platform, “niotix” from Digimondo, aims to streamline the complex process of managing these devices, notably within often-opaque low-voltage networks.
The challenge facing network operators isn’t a lack of desire to digitize, but rather the difficulty of efficiently and affordably integrating data from a multitude of existing, often incompatible, systems.”Network operators and municipal utilities must make more and more data from operating resources, sensors and meters usable efficiently, across systems and without new lock-in effects,” explained a company representative.
Unifying Heterogeneous Data Sources
“niotix” functions as a central data hub, integrating measurement and status data from diverse systems and technologies. it then unifies and qualifies this data, automatically making it available to existing target systems. This approach avoids creating new dependencies and supports key requirements outlined in Section 14a EnWG, including data integration, real-time monitoring, and the efficient processing of large datasets.
The platform achieves this through a strategic integration with GridVis, energy management software from Janitza.GridVis provides high-resolution measurement data and enables detailed analysis of energy efficiency and power quality, feeding directly into “niotix.”
Scalable data Processing for Modern Networks
Digimondo highlights the platform’s ability to handle massive data volumes. According to a senior official, individual network operators are already leveraging “niotix” to process hundreds of thousands of data points from network operations, resulting in hundreds of millions of data inputs daily. This scalable processing is crucial as networks become increasingly complex and data-intensive.
The availability of qualified network data is paramount, especially in the context of Section 14a EnWG. “niotix” facilitates the structured processing of this real-time data, creating transparency in the low-voltage network and providing the information needed for network-oriented control decisions, regardless of the underlying hardware or communication technology.
Digimondo and Janitza will showcase their integrated solution at E-world energy & water 2026 in Hall 5, Stand F126. The platform represents a significant step towards modernizing Germany’s energy networks and meeting the demands of a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Why: The need for “niotix” arose from the requirements of Germany’s Section 14a EnWG regulation, which mandates smart metering and controllable consumption. Network operators struggled to integrate data from diverse, frequently enough incompatible systems.
Who: Digimondo developed “niotix,” and they are partnering with Janitza, whose GridVis software provides key data input. The platform is aimed at German energy network operators and municipal utilities.
What: “niotix” is a data hub platform designed to unify and qualify data from various sources within low-voltage networks, enabling real-time monitoring and efficient data processing. It integrates with existing systems, avoiding new lock-in effects.
How did it end?: Digimondo and Janitza will demonstrate the integrated solution at E-world energy & water 2026, signaling a move towards modernizing Germany’s energy networks. The platform is currently being used by network operators to process large volumes of data, with hundreds of thousands of data points and millions of daily inputs.
