Acrel manufactures electrical measurement devices and energy management software for industrial and utility customers across 70+ countries. The tech stack—C++, Qt, Modbus, MQTT, PLC integration, plus CAD tools (Solidworks, AutoCAD, CREO)—reflects a hardware-software hybrid business. Active projects span real-time power SCADA, microgrid coordination, IoT collection terminals, and energy billing systems, while pain points center on design-driven cost control, production debugging standardization, and on-site support logistics—common friction for hardware companies scaling internationally.
