Remote monitoring of gas meters in buildings provides gas distributors with visibility on consumption and facilitates timely invoicing. It provides significant cost savings in meter reading.

Gas distributors must limit the frequency of meter readings to save costs. This leads to dissatisfaction by their customers who are unable to limit over-consumption in a timely fashion. In addition to the cost of the meter readers, gas distributors must collate all of the data and generate invoices. Remote monitoring provides continual meter readings that are available to the gas distributor's customer. This helps detect over-consumption and permits corrective measures. It can also be exported directly into invoicing applications.

Silentsoft offers a remote meter reading solution based on telemetry. Low cost interfaces are used to measure the meters. Radio frequency and PLC are used to monitor multiple meters in order to avoid expensive cabling. The captured meter data is transmitted via GPRS to a central database for M2M processing. The gas distributor and their customers are provided with visibility on meters. The meter consumption data can be exported in Excel, sorted by building and used for invoicing.

Silentsoft provides a remote monitoring of all types of meters that is a cost-effective solution for meter reading, managing consumption and invoicing.
