Semitech Innovations Pty. Ltd., a cutting edge provider of power line communication technology, is teaming up with La Trobe Innovation, La Trobe University’s commercial arm to launch a joint venture company - EcoEnergy Innovations Pty Ltd - to develop a community energy management solution.
Next generation smart living will involve appliances communicating directly with consumers to offer advice on the most economical time for their operation, according to Australian research. The Goal is getting closer with the development of a smart energy meter that allows consumers to see in real time where their power is going and how much it is costing. The smart energy meter, created by Victoria's La Trobe University and Australian company Semitech Innovations, is designed to cut energy costs and reduce carbon footprints.
How would you like a dishwasher that tells you the cheapest time for you to run it? If you press 'wash' at peak usage times, an interactive display system warns you that you will have to pay a great deal more for washing now than if you let the dishwasher decide when to start. At 3am, when the tariff is low (power usage has gone flat), away it goes and your power bill is greatly reduced.
Semitech Innovations Pty Ltd., Parkville, Australia is participating Copenmind, the first Conference and Exhibition related to Cleantech in partnership with the Centre for Technology Infusion, La Trobe University, Melbourne Australia.

Semitech Innovations is co-operating with Latrobe University and has set up a STALON Home Automation Centre at Latrobe R&D Park. We donated 4 sets of STALON development kits and supervised 3 Latrobe master students for a STALON/SIMAC related project in 2007.
Lang Fang Gao Shan Electronic Science and Technology Pty. Ltd. has developed and commercialized an intelligent PLC AMR system for the medium voltage power line network using STALON technology. This system has been deployed mainly in rural areas where manual reading or other AMR systems such as GPRS have problems.
