by Rebecca Walker — July 22, 2009—Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc. announced it was selected to provide software and metering solutions as a member of CALIBRE’s team to develop and implement a global Army Meter Data Management System (MDMS) for the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Established in 1989, CALIBRE is an employee-owned management and technology solutions company that builds and delivers practical, timely, best value solutions to solve management, technology and program challenges. The company is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia.
The project calls for the team to track, record and report energy consumption at U.S. Army facilities for the contract term, with the goal of establishing energy consumption accountability by individual facilities. The Huntsville Center is responsible for managing the execution of the Army metering program and will advise other federal agencies in complying with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005 -Public Law 109-58).
The company’s expertise with power monitoring and power quality monitoring was a key factor in CALIBRE’s decision to use Siemens Access meter data acquisition and reporting software as the basis of design for a metering program that communicates with an enterprise solution.
The highly flexible Access WinPM.Net power monitoring software supports water, gas and power meters, and its modular platform provides for cost effective expansion into future energy mediums, such as wind or geothermal co-generation.
