At the Integrated Transport Electricity Gas Research Laboratory (InTEGReL) we are exploring all of these opportunities, and within this environment my team at Invisible Systems is working with Northern Gas Networks on the development of a low-cost universal data capture device linked to sensors monitoring a variety of conditions across multiple gas, water and electricity networks.** Our sensors are a core part of the work at InTEGReL. Dotted around the 15-acre InTEGReL site, they are monitoring a range of conditions from network pressure to environmental data, including temperature, humidity and CO2 levels. These sensors transmit that data in real time to our centralised dashboard. From there the team keep track of the various metrics and can quickly identify and react to changes. Additionally, if pre-determined data thresholds are breached, real-time alerts are triggered and notifications are sent via text, email or in some cases, voice calls.

Both for myself at Northern Gas Networks and for my colleagues in other utilities, the Integrated Transport Electricity Gas Research Laboratory (InTEGReL) facility is an important aid as we look to accelerate the pathway to decarbonisation, not just for a single utility, but from a whole-system perspective.** [Read More](https://insights.ckhiod.com/insights/northern-gas-networks-at-integrel-iot-and-the-2050-net-zero-target) [IoT](https://insights.ckhiod.com/insights/tag/iot) [Decarbonisation](https://insights.ckhiod.com/insights/tag/decarbonisation) ## [Utilities: the IoT trendsetters](https://insights.ckhiod.com/insights/utilities-the-iot-trendsetters) [![](https://insights.ckhiod.com/hubfs/water-pipes_572454616_2.jpg) ](https://insights.ckhiod.com/insights/utilities-the-iot-trendsetters) For utility companies, digital transformation has a unique complexity and urgency. With dispersed infrastructures, including network elements that may be decades or even centuries old, it's challenging for utilities to achieve business objectives and meet regulatory requirements, which in the UK include a net-zero carbon emission deadline of 2050. And as regulated entities, utilities don't set their own prices, so driving efficiencies is the only way to realising a profitable business.
