Remote heating control, built on live data.
Intelligent heating control for modern district heating networks and building portfolios. Metbox turns substation and meter data into live visibility, AI-assisted optimisation and - where equipment supports it - secure remote regulation.
Four ways Metbox brings heating under control
One data layer for heat meters, controllers and substations - feeding visibility, optimisation and secure regulation from a single platform.
Live visibility of heating performance
Temperatures, flow, power, pressure and controller status across every substation - in real time.
AI-assisted heating optimisation
Consumption history and outdoor temperature feed demand forecasts and smarter control decisions.
Digital twin for building & substation behaviour
Model how each site responds, so deviations and inefficient regimes surface before they cost energy.
Secure remote control where equipment supports it
Controlled remote heating adjustments with role-based access, audit logs and encrypted communication.
From a clear view to active regulation
Visibility first, optimisation next, and secure remote control as the foundation matures.
Live substation visibility
Metbox collects heat meter, controller and sensor data in one platform, giving operators a clear view of temperatures, flow, power, pressure, device status and system deviations - without manual site visits.
- Supply / return temperatures, flow, power & pressure
- Controller status and live device health
- Alerts for deviations, low ∆T and communication loss
AI-based heating optimisation
Metbox uses consumption history, outdoor temperature and technical parameters to identify inefficient heating regimes, forecast demand and support smarter control decisions across the portfolio.
- Flags inefficient regimes and overheating
- Demand forecasts from history & weather
- Recommendations that guide control decisions
Secure remote control infrastructure
Where connected equipment supports it, Metbox enables controlled remote heating adjustments with role-based access, audit logs, encrypted communication and cybersecurity safeguards.
- Role-based access & full audit trail
- Encrypted, end-to-end communication
- GDPR-ready management & cybersecurity safeguards
From substation to control decision
One secure path from heat meters and controllers to live visibility, optimisation and - where supported - remote regulation.
Meters & controllers
Heat meters, substation controllers and sensors across many brands and protocols.
Gateway collects
Metbox Pro reads devices over Modbus, M-Bus and RS232, sending data securely over 4G/LTE.
Platform analyses
Data arrives validated; dashboards, alerts and AI surface deviations and optimisation opportunities.
Act & regulate
Adjust set-points and, where equipment supports it, apply secure remote heating control.
