In relation to Osaki’s Acquisition of EDMI, we have adopted a New Corporate Logo effective April 1, 2013. Meaning of the logo as follows:
New symbol mark represents “Precision” “Reliability” and “Technology” as three small squares and the combined three symbolize firm value of the energy management field that OSAKI has been cultivating. A rectangle that means “New value” in global market and the energy solution field attaches to three squares. The whole figure shapes one big square that signifies “Global Energy Solution Leader”.
49 African countries and 80 Japanese companies exhibited and over 30,000 people attended the recently concluded African Fair 2013 held in Yokohama, Japan last May 30th to June 2nd which was an official event of TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development). EDMI exhibited Mk29D prepaid meter which is widely used in African markets and Mk10E for C&I. At the event, we were able to have a brief discussion with the Tanzanian President and shared with him the on-going projects of OSAKI-EDMI with Tanesco in Tanzania. The event served as a venue to meet qualified agents who can help us introduce our meters to utility companies of Namibia, Angola and several other African countries where we haven’t had the opportunity to explore yet.
64 companies exhibited and over a thousand people attended the recently concluded Metering Asia 2013 held in Bangkok last 22-23 May. Customers from different countries came to visit the yearly Metering Show. EDMI invited several clients from all over Asia who visited the booth and had productive discussions with our team during the 2 day Exhibition and Conference.
EDMI mainly focused on showcasing the Residential Meters (Mk7B and Mk31).

EDMI’s demonstration of the practical application of smart metering for consumers was a crowd-pleaser at the Smart Utilities Australia and New Zealand exhibition held in Melbourne at the end of November.
Identifying key integration possibilities between smart meters and smart-phone and other consumer applications, EDMI was able to show Australian and New Zealand industry players what was possible today with EDMI’s ingenuity.
The idea was simple enough:
Display real time power consumption on an iPhone; then based on the level of power consumption perform an operation (turn on/turn off) on everyday consumer appliances.
The demonstration required modified Storm code which is EDMI’s latest headend software. This created a lightweight communication server that could a) establish constant real time communication with a meter, b) provide real time power consumption to an iPhone app and c) integrate with consumer appliances to perform appropriate actions (e.g. turn fan on/off).
On 8 November 2013, Haiyan, one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded, struck the Philippines resulting an estimated death toll of more than 5,000, with thousands more missing. Homes were swept away by the combination of powerful winds and surging waters. For survivors, the life-and-death struggle continues – the super typhoon has left them no clean water, and no food or shelter. And aid trickles in only slowly due to the damage to the roads and infrastructure that might have carried it.
EDMI offers our deepest condolences to the Filipinos who have lost their loved ones and extends support to the people that were devastated by the natural disaster. Offices, globally, have reached through charitable foundations in the Philippines to extend their aid to the struggling survivors. Employees of EDMI came together and have so far raised SGD $7,400.00. This has been remitted to the ABS-CBN foundation in the Philippines. More funds are still coming in and will soon be sent to the Philippines to aid the victims of the super typhoon.
EDMI showcased its market-leading smart metering solutions at the Indonesian Electricity Exhibition (23rd to 25th October) in Surabaya. The key South-East Asia Conference rounded out a busy October for EDMI, which also presented at European Utility week, marking EDMI’s reputation as an international player.
Guests not only experienced EDMI’s first Indonesian launch of a new corporate look, but also took a closer look at EDMI’s internationally popular range of pre-payment and three-phase meters, the powerful Genius and Atlas metering platforms and the advanced GSM/GPRS EWM 100 modem.
EDMI’s Indonesian Sales and Marketing Director, Ratu Febriana Erawaty (Aie), was also pleased to welcome delegates from Indonesian government-owned PT PLN (Persero).
“We have had some mutually beneficial discussions about our robust Mk7B and prepayment meters,” she said, “And, of course, EDMI and PLN are both positive about EDMI’s Indonesian factory, set to open in 2014.
EDMI and delegates rated the stand at the Surabaya conferences a great success. EDMI is confident that the opportunities, realised, will open up new business in the region.
EDMI’s impressive new corporate look turned heads at European Utility Week 2013, and kept delegates engaged with an exciting product range that challenges the rest of the market to keep up.
EDMI’s achievements with Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specification (SMETS) v1 compliance and the new, modern ultrasonic Smart Gas Meter, G6000, lead its 2013 product offerings, showing EDMI still leads the way in innovation and compliance standards.
“The G6000 combines a small, aesthetic form with a high standard of precision and ingress protection (IP67),” said Chin Jin Meng, Managing Director, EDMI Limited, “Add to this its clean integration with our advanced Clariti software, and it’s not surprising we were busy answering enquiries.”
EDMI also showed off its popular Genius and Atlas series energy meters. And Lee Kwang Mong, EDMI’s Group Managing Director was on hand to discuss compliance.
“Our partners look to us for standards compliance,” said Mr. Lee, “EDMI is at the fore of Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specification compliance, which will be vital for future commercial ventures in UK and Europe, and is set to become a significant focus in international markets.”
European Utility Week 2013 attracts delegates not only from Europe, but from all over the world and EDMI was proud to welcome our guests from our existing partners in Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh, and to meet with new likeminded innovators from all corners of the globe.
EDMI, global smart metering solutions providers, have again enhanced their reputation as industry knowledge leaders at Malaysia’s 2nd Colloquium on Smart Electricity Metering.

Lee Kwang Mong, Group Managing Director, EDMI Limited, points to the Metering Latin America 2013 conference at Sao Paulo as a key, breakthrough event.
“The Sao Paulo event was a very positive experience for us,” said Mr Lee, “The growth opportunities across smart meters, new communications infrastructure, improved meter management and renewable energy installations is an exciting prospect for EDMI.”
EDMI has made recent significant advances into several regions globally in delivering end to end smart metering solutions. This has enhanced the reputation of EDMI in providing innovation, flexibility and reliability in its solutions.
In June, 2011, metering.com forecast that the South African smart metering market would reach 104.5 million meters and USD$25.1 billion by 2020; and, in mid-2013, announced that expenditures across the entire smart grid would reach USD$49.8 billion by 2023.
