Automatic Meter Reading
AMR (Automatic Meter Reading ) is the modern Power measuring
device .it is being used in measuring electricity , gas , water consumption in
many countries on the world since it has a lot of advantages that the old
analog meters doesn’t have .
it has advantages in safety , real time measuring and time
save as well as it has a better user interface and digital data analysis .AMR
appears in several types depends on measured data type and data transfer
technologies . We can say that AMR is the best solution to measure , collect
and analyze data for the Mega networks like the electricity transmission and
distribution network in Egypt .
AMR brings significant benefits to the customer by providing
increased meter-reading accuracy, fewer estimated bills, rapid response to read
requests, automatic leak detection and billing options and provides detailed
usage information about individual sites, which allows the company to offer
variable rates and encourage price -responsive behavior among customers.AMR
improves operational management by providing just-in-time meter replacement,
tamper detection, remote access, and automatic scheduling of meter reading.
In short, AMR will optimize cost savings and maximize
efficiency while providing improved customer service. By using AMR we overcome
the disadvantages of the traditional meter reading devices , improve the
control and data we have and make the consumer aware of the power consumption
he have so he can limit and control the price he pay .
