Automatic Multiple Meters Reading System

Previously there used to be two types of meters which were namely the 1) Dial type and the 2) Digital type. The dial type meters became outdated and the digital meters were widely implemented by all electricity operators as they were more accurate and efficient. Now these digital meters register electricity utilization in terms of (kWh). The current technique of meter reading is a person from electricity operator who visits housing premises and manually reads the meters which becomes very hectic sometimes. This requires large amount of hardwork, labour operators and long working hours to accomplish data reading and billing of the entire area. The reading systems which are controlled by human billing employees can cause error and moreover meters placed in remote locations are not easy to reach. The condition of such systems becomes even worse sometimes due to weather conditions. With an objective to achieve efficient meter reading, reduce billing error and operation costs, Automatic Multiple Meter Reading System (AMMRS) plays a very important role to address the above mentioned problems. AMMRS is an effective mean of data collection that allow considerable saving through the reduction of meter re-read, greater data accuracy, allow frequent reading, improved billing and customer service, more timely energy profiles and consumption trends updates and better deployment of human resources.
