Use Cases

Smart Meter Networks

Millions of electricity meters reporting consumption every 15 minutes. ALEC reduces data by encoding incremental changes, as consumption patterns are highly predictable.

92% compression

Grid Monitoring

Real-time monitoring of transformers, substations, and transmission lines. Critical alerts for voltage drops or overloads get P1 priority while routine telemetry uses delta encoding.

88% compression

Renewable Integration

Solar panels and wind turbines generating variable output. ALEC learns daily production patterns and efficiently encodes deviations from expected generation curves.

Demand Response

Real-time price signals and load balancing across thousands of industrial consumers. Time-critical signals use priority encoding for guaranteed delivery.

Quick Integration

use alec::{Encoder, Priority, Context};

fn main() {
    let mut ctx = Context::new();
    let encoder = Encoder::new(&mut ctx);
    
    // Your sensor reading
    let value = 23.5;
    
    // Encode with automatic priority detection
    let message = encoder.encode(value, Priority::Auto);
    
    // Send over your network
    network.send(message.as_bytes());
}
"We reduced our smart meter backhaul costs by 85% while improving data granularity from hourly to 15-minute intervals. ALEC's priority system ensures we never miss a critical grid event."
