Join us for an enlightening episode of the Sustainability Podcast, where we sit down with Sergio Lazzarotto from the DLMS User Association. In this comprehensive interview, Sergio shares his extensive experience in the energy sector, emphasizing the critical role of DLMS in advancing interoperable and secure data exchange standards. Discover how DLMS not only supports smart metering across various utilities but also adapts to the evolving demands of modern energy and water management.

 Learn about the founding of DLMS in response to European legislative directives and how it has grown to facilitate the deployment of smart metering technology across Europe. Sergio delves into the technical depths of DLMS as a data exchange protocol rather than just a communication standard, explaining its crucial role at the application layer of the seven-layer OSI model and its impact on device interoperability and market compatibility.

 This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and sustainability, offering insights into how standardized protocols like DLMS are shaping the future of energy efficiency and grid management. Tune in to explore how DLMS is expanding its reach beyond electricity to include gas and water, paving the way for a more integrated and efficient future in energy consumption and resource management.
