Energy Meters Line-up

Our core line-up of DIN-rail energy meters covers the most common configurations and applications. Each meter is 100% designed and built in Italy, MID certified and produced under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, and can be adapted for OEM and white-label projects.

From family company to engineering task force

Founded in 1991 and part of Hager since 2017, Herholdt Controls designs and manufactures custom and white-label metering platforms in Italy. We combine deep R&D, Italian production and a secured supply chain to deliver precise, reliable and available metering solutions for OEMs and system integrators.

100% Made in Italy

Design, manufacturing and testing performed in Italy, with a tightly controlled local supplier network.

A wide range of applications

Our meters are embedded in energy solutions across multiple markets. We help OEMs choose the right platform for each application.

Heating, cooling & HVAC

Advanced metering solutions for HVAC systems and heat pumps: accurate energy measurement, seamless integration with energy management platforms, and OEM-ready configurations.

Industrial & commercial installations

Energy metering and monitoring for industrial and commercial installations: reliable data to improve efficiency, control loads, and ensure operational continuity.

EV charging & e-mobility

Metering solutions for EV charging infrastructure: certified measurement, backend integration, and scalable solutions for OEM projects and large installations.

Sub-metering of heating and cooling energy in buildings and industrial sites

Thermal sub-metering for buildings and industrial sites: transparent heating and cooling energy allocation, cost distribution, and data-ready reporting for audits and optimization.

Energy storage & local production

Monitoring and metering for energy storage and local generation: full visibility of energy flows, self-consumption performance, and integration with EMS and supervisory systems.

Monitoring of industrial loads, machinery and commercial buildings

Granular energy monitoring for industrial loads, machinery, and commercial buildings: detect inefficiencies, peak demand, and anomalies to reduce downtime and energy costs.

Energy meters for AC charging points, load management and billing

Energy meters for AC charging stations with load management and billing support: accurate measurement, peak load control, and billing-ready data for residential, commercial, and retail environments.

Meters for storage systems, PV plants and hybrid configurations

Bidirectional metering for PV plants, storage systems, and hybrid installations: optimize self-consumption, grid feed-in, and advanced energy control strategies.

Meters for individual apartments and shared cost allocation

Energy meters for individual apartments and shared cost allocation: precise measurement, transparent cost distribution, and integration with multi-tenant management systems.

Residential and multi-tenant

Scalable metering solutions for residential and multi-tenant buildings: sub-metering for individual units and common services, with data ready for management, allocation, and consumption optimization.

Production, calibrating and testing

From PCB assembly to final calibration, our production process is engineered for repeatability, traceability and short lead times. Italian manufacturing and a tightly controlled supplier network allow us to maintain quality while reacting quickly to market demands.

End-of-line testing procedures verify accuracy, communication interfaces and safety parameters, ensuring that every meter leaving our factory is ready for demanding field conditions.

We assemble and calibrate our meters in Italy, using automated processes and dedicated test benches. Each unit is tested against defined parameters to ensure consistent performance over its lifetime.

Our processes are certified according to ISO 9001:2015. Traceability is built into every step, from component sourcing to final inspection, enabling us to support OEM partners with documented quality and long-term product support.

Custom metering
platform process

We design and industrialise custom and white-label metering platforms for OEMs and Hager entities, acting as an engineering task force from concept to serial production.

Custom platforms

Developing an energy meter for an OEM means designing a platform, not just a product. Our engineering team works on custom platforms that can be adapted across multiple devices and applications: different CT types, communication options, display variants and mechanical footprints, all based on shared cores.

This modular approach helps OEMs scale faster while keeping development costs and time under control.

Precision measurement & signal integrity

Accurate measurement starts with robust analogue front-end design and careful PCB layout. We engineer our meters to maintain precision across a wide operating range, with a focus on harmonic distortion, temperature drift and long-term stability.

Our team validates performance through laboratory tests and field feedback, ensuring that measured energy becomes reliable data for billing and control systems.

Firmware, communication & protocols

Behind every meter there is firmware that manages measurement algorithms, communication and diagnostics. We develop firmware in-house, supporting protocols such as Modbus, M-Bus and other industrial interfaces required by OEMs.

We collaborate closely with our partners’ engineering teams to integrate meters into their systems, from register maps and data models to firmware update strategies.

Simulation, compliance & lifecycle

Each new platform is engineered with compliance and lifecycle in mind. We design for MID compliance and relevant standards, and we work on product variants that can be maintained over time despite component obsolescence.

Our role as an engineering task force within Hager allows us to combine simulation, lab validation and industrialisation experience, turning specifications into robust, certifiable products that can stay in the market for years.
