AUTOMATIC METER READING
AMR is the technology of automatically collecting data from energy metering devices and transferring that data to a central data base for billing or analyzing. The electricians travelling to the homes of customers can be saved and also precise reading can be obtained without any rounding off or errors and based on the previous readings. The fixed communication networks which are currently available like the cellular network is used for transferring of the data to the central database. The GSM network and a custom RF designed takes care of the data transmission part.
The exchange of data between a central data collecting unit to any node in the system is implemented using power line communication and different hardware modules were designed for this purpose.
OBJECTIVE
-To bring intelligence in to the billing cycle and manages it
-The meter reading data can be used for further analyses
-Make billing system on the basis of actual reading faster.
Touch Technology
In this approach, a meter reader carries a handheld computer or data collection device with him in the form of a wand or something like that.the readings from a meter are automatically collected by the device .
