The way of the future.

Recently, a Jackson-based technology company made a large national deal. SmartSynch will supply advanced electric meters to Consumers Energy of Michigan. This will form the base of Consumers developing 'smart grid'.
SmartSynch is on the cutting edge of 'smart grid' technology, providing meters and solutions to enable intelligent monitoring and usage of electricity. The meters connect to the public cellular network, allowing utilities and users to check on usage at any point. Not only do smart meters assist utilities in measuring usage and detecting problems on the electric network, they allow users to be more efficient in their usage of electricity.
The smart grid is just one of the new technologies that promises to make the underbelly of our economy more efficient in the future. Efficiency gains translate into development and profit gains. Any deal like this spurs investment and encourages innovation. We are proud to share a hometown with a company like this.
