Automatic Meter Reading

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is the technology of automatically collecting data from energy metering devices and transferring that data to a central database by communication technology for remote control and analyzing. AMR system is composed of management software, remote communication channel, power management terminal, regional summary meter, local communication channel, user energy meter and other equipment. Power companies can build AMR system to replace the manual meter reading to save human resources, reduce meter reading costs and improve meter reading efficiency and success rate. 

The AMR system reduces the error rate, the electricity loss and eliminates the false meter reading by personnel. The AMR system also can monitor the status of the users and find the abnormal information to alarm in time. It also collects data from regional summary meter and the regional line loss can be calculated. The software system is developed by Java and it can be deployed on Windows, Unix, and other major operating systems. The system is developed based on Enterprise-class Java EE standards, a three-tier technical architecture (client/middleware server/database server) as the basis for the system. The system has excellent openness, scalability, flexibility and high reliability. Many advanced computer and communication technologies are used on this system to satisfy the needs of utility companies in different environments.

System advantages

Flexibility of configuration

Function modularization: It can customize the equipment and separately deploy the modules according to the size of the management scale. The function is hierarchically designed, which can guarantee clear logic, convenient maintenance and stable operation.

Diversity of management

Managing range covers the different types of energy objects, such as substations, users with special transformer, distribution transformers, residential users, etc. It can configure the relevant managing functions according to the type of object.

Compatibility of equipment

The users can choose the appropriate mode of network (such as GPRS, PLC, WSN or 485), the collection equipment (such as various energy meters or concentrators) and the operation protocol of equipment according to their own situation. The system can provide support or expansion.
