Save On Cost With Automated Meter Reading Billing Software

By Nancy Gardner


This can be referred to as the technology of mechanically collecting data related to consumption, status and diagnostic from automated devices such as water gauge and energy indicators, this data is then transmitted to central computer or database for trouble shooting and analyzing. The technology has been vastly used to save users the cost of having to travel to specific location to get meter readings. Automated meter reading billing software data is transmitted real time rather instead of using estimations and past data which may not convey accurate information.

This technology for measuring come in various types that is the handheld, wireless, radio frequency and other devices that utilize network not forgetting transmission through power. A lot of people before did not embrace this technology but now they have come to know of it benefit and are using it.

Automatic reader technology for meters includes handheld, radio frequency, wireless and technologies that use network and lastly power line transmission. Back then these devices were viewed as expensive but today due to technology advancement and awareness most clients are embracing it because of it economical benefits.

The satellite automated reader will be in touch with installed indicator so as to get the readings, readings are then sent through mobile satellite or fixed network. Narrow band and spread spectrum are mostly used technologies for automated reading for meters.

The software scans the database serial number and when they match it saves the readings to be downloaded later. Transmission of data back to the central computer can also be done through use of infrared data transmission port.

There exist other advanced that call for special indicators and hardware, these are touch and read where the reader uses a wand to touch the meter and it records automatically. The other one is radio and read where signal is sent directly to wand or laptop and it records meter reading.

Some companies dealing in software have the capacity to read energy meter for purposes of management and billing. This software performs functions such as energy management and billing, configuring energy meters and enables web access.

This radio transceiver will send a signal to transmitter booting it up. The transceiver attached to gauge will send radio signal and receive the same. These transmitters can either transmit data one way or use continuous broadcast where the data is sent continuously as it occurs. There is a hybrid system that integrates both two way and one way technologies.

This is not to mean that it does not support a single fixed rate for individual users. Demand billing and time billing are not handled by this program. Automated billing software can perform data logging as well and it advisable for energy providers to consider using them.
