Participants get hands-on training in smart metering solution developed by UTS
SIBU: University of Technology Sarawak (UTS) recently designed a cutting-edge smart metering solution so-called ‘Assistive Tool of Energy Metering System (Atems)’ in a bid to address power quality issues and the growing demand for electricity.
In a press release, UTS said the project was financially supported by Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) under the Powering Ideas Programme.
“Atems was designed and developed by UTS R&D team to provide a non-intrusive, user-friendly, and realtime monitoring system for power quality and electricity consumption of residential premises.
“As announced on Feb 5, 2024 by Human Resources Minister Steven Sim, HRD Corp and UTS have partnered to offer an upskilling training programme in Sarawak’s central region for underserved communities.

In the recent Smart Home Technology training, participants were introduced to UTS Smart Home, with a comprehensive practical session conducted to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and apply Smart Technology effectively.
“This training bridges the gap between traditional electrical knowledge and emerging technologies, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to contribute to the rapidly evolving landscape of smart home technology.
“These initiatives signify UTS’ contribution to both the communities in Sarawak and the broader landscape of technological innovation,” it said.
