About Fluentgrid UHES
Fluentgrid UHES is a multi-vendor, multi-protocol head-end system (HES) built for electricity, water and gas utilities deploying smart meters and IoT endpoints at scale. It handles device management, two-way communication, real-time data acquisition and remote operations across millions of meters from any vendor, model or firmware version.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Vendor- and protocol-agnostic - avoids meter vendor lock-in
- Proven at scale with multi-million-meter rollouts (e.g., TPDDL NB-IoT)
- Tight integration with Fluentgrid's broader utility software suite
- Supports both legacy and modern communication channels (PLC to NB-IoT)
- Recognized in Gartner Market Guide and ISGF Innovation Award 2022
Cons
Key Features
Multi-Vendor Device Management
Manage smart meters, DCUs, gateways and IoT endpoints across diverse vendors, models, firmware versions and protocols from a single platform.
Broad Protocol Support
Two-way communication using DLMS, EURIDIS, MODBUS, IEC1107 and PACT over RF, PLC, RS232/485, GSM, GPRS, NB-IoT and Ethernet.
Real-Time Data Acquisition
Collects and processes meter and sensor data in real time to feed MDMS, billing, outage and analytics systems.
Remote Operations
Perform remote connect/disconnect, firmware updates, configuration changes and on-demand reads without truck rolls.
Built-In Analytics & Alerts

Best For
Large-Scale Smart Meter Rollouts
Power and water utilities deploying millions of smart meters across cities or regions under AMI/AMISP programs.
Multi-Vendor AMI Consolidation
Utilities standardising on one HES across meters from several vendors instead of running siloed vendor-specific systems.
Smart City & NB-IoT Deployments
Municipalities and discoms running NB-IoT-based metering for electricity, water or gas as part of smart city initiatives.
Revenue Protection
Detecting tampering, bypass and communication anomalies to reduce non-technical losses for distribution utilities.
