Webdyn is particularly well-known for its WebdynSun Product portfolio, which enables photovoltaic developers and operators to manage their solar farms more efficiently and its WebdynEasy product range for smart building applications. Webdyn’s products are sold worldwide, and particularly in Europe and India where Webdyn has a subsidiary. The company has been backed by Kreaxi and Trophy Investissement who are successfully selling their shares to Flexitron Group.

Flexitron Group is a Spanish conglomerate focusing on IoT sectors. The group has its headquarters in Madrid with employees worldwide with offices in Europe, Africa, Latin America, USA and Asia. Some of its major companies include Matrix (with the brand MTX) for IoT hardware solutions, IoTBlue for IoT software and Taxitronic, the global leader in taxi management solutions.  MTX devices are part of all kinds of IoT solutions wordlwide, with active projects in sectors such as smart transportation, smart city, metering or industry 4.0.. Taxitronic has more than 150,000 active taximeters on the market and more than 30,000 data terminals connected to a radio taxi with Taxitronic technology, with a presence in the main countries of Western Europe, North America (especially New York), the Middle East and North Africa. The group is privately owned and led by José María Vilallonga Presas & José Luis Vicente García.

Philippe Faugeras is very pleased with the acquisition by Flexitron Group: “ As a founder, I was looking for an acquirer who would help us continue to grow Webdyn with a similar entrepreneurial spirit. First, we identified strong products and market synergies between the two entities. Second, we liked Flexitron Group’s team. We share a common vision in terms of on our goal to contribute to energy transition and believe our teams can work well together to leverage those synergies. We are very happy to be joining forces.”

For José María Vilallonga Presas, chairman of the Flexitron group, Webdyn is a nice fit in the Flexitron Group family: “Webdyn has a unique product portfolio: customers love their products and appreciate their functionalities and quality. Our team saw the market potential of Webdyn’s portfolio and how we can extend Webdyn’s reach with our market access. In addition, we believe that the staff of Flexitron Group and Webdyn share common values of trust, ethics, and professionalism. We are very excited to welcome Webdyn into the Flexitron Group.”

New MTX-DigitalWater System, smart IoT system for the telemetry of water meters

/in /by

MTX-DigitalWater System is a smart system for the collection of water meter measurements and their sending through narrow band communications (NB-IoT or Cat-M). A Head End System platform extracts and unifies the information to send it, regardless of the meter brand and the final platform.

HOW DOES IT WORK

1. DATA COLLECTION

MTX-DigitalWater System collects data from water meters using any of the accepted interfaces (Wireless M-Bus, M-Bus, Pulses or RS485) thanks to the MTX-StarWater.

ACCEPTED INTERFACES

  Wireless M-Bus: under development
  M-bus: under development
  Pulse input: testing
  RS485 modbus: testing
  Bus UNE82326: reading of frames A+, B and C at different frequencies depending on the configuration

2. STORAGE AND TRANSMISSION

It stores the collected data in the internal memory of the MTX-StarWater and sends it, in the configured connectivity windows, through NB-IoT or Cat-M.

3. UNIFICATION: HEAD END SYSTEM

Cervello Stem acts as Head End System, unifying frames and protocols and sending the informationto the final platform.

4. DATA VISUALIZATION

The final platform receives a single data frame, integrating the system with any brand of water meters and any final platform. In addition, Cervello Stem also functions as an IoT Platform for device management (allowing remote configuration and updating) and visualization of received data for monitoring and maintenance.

1. DATA COLLECTION

Collects the data of all the cost allocators through Wireless M-Bus thanks to the MTX-StarWater modem.

2. STORAGE AND TRANSMISSION

It stores the data in the internal memory of the MTX-StarWater and sends it, in the configured connectivity windows, through NB-IoT.

3. UNIFICATION: HEAD END SYSTEM

Cervello Stem, which acts as Head End System, unifies the frames and protocols of each cost allocator and sends the data to the final platform.

4. DATA VISUALIZATION

The final platform receives a single data frame, integrating the system with any brand of cost allocator and any final platform. In addition, Cervello Stem also functions as an IoT Platform for device management (allowing remote configuration and updating) and viewing of received data for monitoring and maintenance.
