IOT : AUTOMATED METERING SOLUTIONS
Utility companies face the eternal issue of tracking lost and unaccounted resources such as gas, water and electricity which accounts to a significant part of production and supply. With consumers spread across geographies, last mile accounting through manual meter reading severely affects operations and human resource utilisation.
A UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITIONTata Communications’ Internet of Things based Automated Metering Solutions offer enterprises and consumers, an effective way to track consumption. By connecting smart meters or retrofitting smart modules to existing manual meters, Tata Communications enables automated meter readings that could be gathered and fed to ERP systems for automated billing or any third party software. This is achieved through our comprehensive APIs, integrated network, IoT platform and application.
Companies can account for every unit of their supply, use this information to build customer profiles, estimate accurate and realistic demand and plan supply.
• The solution addresses not only the operational and cost inefficiencies that arise from manual meters, but also adds the scope for a remote feedback mechanism in fault detection and alert generation.
• Integrated analytics allow organisations to manage supply at peak loads, build consumer insights and plan inventory effectively.
• Our Automated Metering Solutions can seamlessly fit in smart meters, as well as manual meters retrofitted with smart modules and will suit both domestic and industrial consumers.
• Since all smart meters directly communicate with the network base stations, our solution leads to a hassle free deployment.
