Initial Situation

For the expansion and further development of business models in this area, the utility was looking for an innovative partner for long-term cooperation.

Vision

Based on the know-how already gained in Detmold and in the course of the smart meter rollout, Stadtwerke Detmold can build a complete smart meter infrastructure with the support of Arvato Systems, which will be operated cost-efficiently and with high availability.
