There are many new business models emerging in the manufacturing technology (MT) ecosystem. Most innovators had a broad set of skills that combined technical know-how with proven business experience. They saw a need in the market that was not being met by current solutions and turned this into a business opportunity. Download NowModern vehicles are highly sophisticated systems incorporating electrical, electronic, software and mechanical components. Mechanical systems are giving way to advanced software and electronic devices, driving automakers to innovate and differentiate their vehicles via the electric and electronic (E/E) architecture. As the pace of change accelerates, automotive companies need to evolve their development processes to deliver and maximize the value of these architectures. Download NowModern cars, trucks, and other vehicles feature an ever-increasing number of sophisticated electrical and electronic features, placing a larger burden on the wiring harness that enables these new features. As complexity rises, current harness manufacturing methods are struggling to keep pace due to manual data exchanges and the inability to capture tribal knowledge. A model-based wire harness manufacturing engineering flow automates data exchange and captures tribal knowledge through design rules to help harness manufacturers improve harness quality and boost efficiency. Download NowThis paper will focus on the quantification of the complexity related costs in harness variations in order to model them, allowing automated algorithms to optimize for these costs. A number of real world examples will be provided as well. Since no two businesses are alike, it is the aim of this paper to provide the foundational knowledge and methodology so the reader can assess their own business to model how variation complexity costs affect their business.

RE: smartmeter antenna ?
Presumably a design goal (for the antenna embedded in the meter) would be to provide something close to omnidirectional coverage. It's not as if they're able to rotate the meter, with attached building, to aim the antenna.
Patch antennas typically radiate off their flat surface. E.g. GPS antennas.
You might need to clarify your question.
P.S. Smart meters are a horrific topic. The internet is knee deep in nonsense.
