Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from water meter or energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic ...
This standard defines a table structure for utility application data to be passed between an end device and a computer. The "end device" is typically an electricity meter, and the "computer" is typically a hand-held device carried by a meter reader, or a meter communication module which is part of an automatic meter reading system. C12.19 does ...
Meter data management (MDM) refers to software that performs long-term data storage and management for the vast quantities of data delivered by smart metering systems. This data consists primarily of usage data and events that are imported from the head-end servers managing the data collection in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or automatic meter reading (AMR) systems.
Encoder receiver transmitter (ERT) is a packet radio protocol developed by Itron for automatic meter reading. [1] The technology is used to transmit data from utility meters over a short range so a utility vehicle can collect meter data without a worker physically inspecting each meter. The ERT protocol was first described in U.S. patent ...
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Automated Meter Reading (AMR), and/or Manual Meter reads accurately and reliably represent endpoint data only. If any power is tapped before the endpoint meter (i.e., pre-meter tapping), accurate detection of this power diversion is difficult or nearly impossible without the use of a reconciliation point ...
The term smart meter often refers to an electricity meter, but it also may mean a device measuring natural gas, water or district heating consumption. [1], [2] More generally, a smart meter is an electronic device that records information such as consumption of electric energy, voltage levels, current, and power factor.
A Portuguese airline was forced to ground one of its passenger planes last week after discovering that 132 hamsters had escaped from cages in the cargo hold and roamed free throughout the aircraft ...
A submetering system typically includes a "master meter", which is owned by the utility supplying the water, electricity, or gas, with overall usage billed directly to the property owner. The property owner or manager then places their own private meters on individual tenant spaces to determine individual usage levels and bill each tenant for ...
