Metrycom is a company that aims to enhance the capabilities of utility companies by providing continuous visibility over their high voltage transmission and distribution lines. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Israel, it employs smart induction sensors, self-developed low-cost mesh radios, and proprietary algorithms to detect flashovers and changes in electrical field patterns. The company's solutions enable power utilities to monitor their transmission and distribution lines more effectively, particularly in remote rural regions.
One of Metrycom's notable collaborations is with the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), one of its shareholders, resulting in a comprehensive sensing and radio solution for high voltage lines that can be deployed live. This has led to the company's proprietary sensor solutions being utilized by the IEC and additional power utilities around the world for fault locating on long-distance transmission and distribution lines.
Metrycom's focus on advancing sensor and data analysis technologies positions it as a leader in high voltage line monitoring and Smart T&D Grids industries. The company's innovative approach not only aims to provide enhanced visibility over high voltage lines but also seeks to reduce maintenance costs and boost both reliability and safety for utility companies.
