Remote Meter Reading
We read electricity, water, gas, compressed air and production meters remotely, monitor consumption on one screen and report it by line, shift and product.
Reading meters by hand takes time, is prone to error and shows consumption only at the end of the month; by the time a leak or an inefficient machine is noticed, the cost has already been incurred. With remote meter reading, consumption is monitored live and problems become visible as soon as they occur.
We connect meters with communication interfaces over Modbus RTU/TCP or M-Bus, and meters with pulse outputs through PLCs and data acquisition modules; legacy meters without communication can be read by camera without being replaced. Readings are written to a database with timestamps, and consumption is broken down by line, shift, product and department.
Management and operator screens show live consumption, daily and monthly trends, energy use per product and deviations from targets. Alarms are raised for abnormal consumption, leaks or meter faults; reports are generated automatically, and data can be passed to ERP or the energy management system.
We survey your existing metering infrastructure on site and deliver meter selection, connection, communication and software as one project. The system is designed to be extended with additional meters later.
