Solutions & Services
Utonomy’s high-quality range of products, AI-driven software and expert engineers combine to create tailored solutions and services to fully equip your gas network for a sustainable and efficient future.
Stand-alone Pressure Control
The UtonomyOne Stand-alone Pressure Control solution provides seasonal and intra-day set point scheduling from a self-contained system that is deployed completely within the existing distribution equipment enclosure, such as kiosk or below-ground pit. The autonomous pressure controller features local temperature sensing for added protection from sudden cold snaps, and security of supply features that continuously sense the station outlet pressure. The system is entirely battery-powered with 3 years expected battery change interval, and minimal ongoing maintenance.
The UtonomyOne Stand-alone Pressure Control solution can be used to control methane emissions by reducing average system pressures, ensure minimum supply pressures, and create network headroom for increased injection from renewable sources.
Remote Pressure Control
The UtonomyOne Connected Pressure Control solution builds on the functionality of the Stand-alone system by adding secure remote connectivity to pressure control devices, and full remote control and monitoring from a centralised multi-user data platform. Multiple communication device options are available to meet individual site requirements such as the availability of space and power, protection from weather or flooding, and proximity to hazardous zones. In addition to pressure control, the data platform supports role-based management functions including device maintenance, data querying and extraction, report generation and integration with wider information systems.
Intelligent Pressure Control
The UtonomyOne Intelligent Pressure Control solution builds on the functionality of the Connected system by adding machine-learning based network characterisation and demand prediction, allowing full set point schedule automation and optimisation. Harvesting data from remote pressure control and monitoring devices, the system continuously adapts to changes in network configuration and demand loads on the network. The solution also incorporates an integrated network extremity protection system that is independent from the machine-learning algorithms.
The UtonomyOne Intelligent Pressure Control solution can be used to control methane emissions by reducing average system pressures, ensure minimum supply pressures, and create network headroom for increased injection from renewable sources.
Intelligent Network Monitoring
The UtonomyOne Intelligent Pressure Monitoring solution provides data-generated insights into network health with autonomous anomaly detection and alerts. Harvesting data from remote pressure control and monitoring devices, the system continuously characterises network performance deviations from expected behaviour; alerts are used to give network operators early warning of equipment degradation or misconfiguration, or network effects such as water ingress or external interference.
The UtonomyOne Intelligent Pressure Monitoring solution can be used to reduce network management operational costs and increase efficiency of maintenance activity.
IoT Grid Architecture
IoT-based gas grid architecture can transform your traditional, passive natural gas infrastructure into an intelligent, data-driven network. It enables real-time monitoring of pressure, flow rates, and methane emissions,, while enhancing safety, reducing operational costs, and supporting the integration of low-carbon gases like hydrogen and biomethane.

Expert Engineering Services
Utonomy was founded by and for engineers. The products and solutions were created in collaboration with, and constantly adapted to the needs of real gas networks. That is why our engineers have an intimate knowledge of network operation, drivers, targets and maintenance. Our team can work with you at every level – hardware, software, algorithmic – to answer the need you currently
Front end engineering design (FEED) is an engineering design framework used for an in-depth check of a project cost. The main target of this approach is to analyse project requirements, fix a design basis, freeze the process design and involve all main subvendors. At the end of this execise the FEED provides a detailed cost summary, that will allow contractors and suppliers to issue a firm quotation.
FEED process is handled by Pietro Fiorentini multidisciplinary team that takes into consideration all important aspects related to the project. Main objectives include definition of civil, mechanical and process engineering, carry out preliminary HAZOP & SIL, prepare main equipment list and data sheet of critical items, develop 2D & 3D preliminary models and finally automation strategy.
The main scope of FEED is to deliver a clear picture of all project constraints, i.e. technical aspects, safety & environmental issues and accordingly a deep evaluation of capital and operation costs.
