Complex mapping
Operational data required careful mapping and validation before exchange.
Case Study
Automating Meter Operation processes
Automation of Meter Operation data exchange with ESG Global's AMOP Evo platform for time-sensitive UK energy workflows.
Our Client
Energy Assets is one of the UK's leading providers of metering, utility network, and energy data services. As part of its Meter Operation processes, the company needed to exchange operational data with ESG Global's AMOP Evo platform, a critical system used across the UK energy ecosystem for meter operations and settlement workflows.
The Challenge
Manual MOP data synchronization was difficult to scale.
Energy Assets relied on a legacy, heavily manual process for synchronizing MOP data with ESG Global's AMOP Evo platform. The workflow involved complex data mapping and validation, strict formatting requirements, multiple event types, internal and external system synchronization, secure file exchange, and operational reliability at scale.
Strict formatting
AMOP Evo formatting requirements left little room for inconsistent file structures.
Multiple event types
Different Meter Operation event flows needed consistent processing rules.
Operational reliability
The process had to stay reliable as operational volume and requirements evolved.
The Solution
Dedicated automation platform for MOP integration
Clever Grapes designed and delivered a dedicated automation platform that modernized the MOP integration workflow and significantly reduced manual operational overhead.
.NET and Blazor application
Built a custom web application for operational users and automated MOP workflow handling.
Secure platform integration
Integrated with Entra, SQL Server, and secure FTP/SFTP communication for reliable data exchange.
Automated MOP processing
Automated multiple Meter Operation event and service-request workflows with custom serialization and validation.
Validation, monitoring, and delivery automation
Added structured validation, logging, notifications, and Azure DevOps CI/CD automation for safer operational delivery.
Business Outcomes
Automated report generation and synchronization reduced the time required for MOP data exchange and operational handling.
Built-in validation, structured processing flows, and automated error handling reduced manual mistakes and improved process reliability.
Monitoring, logging, and notification mechanisms gave teams better operational transparency and faster issue resolution.
