Retrofitting existing meters to enable remote monitoring of measurement values.
This is a remote monitoring system for analog meters, starting with gas meters in factories. It measures the movement of the pointer using magnetic sensors and transmits data to the cloud using wireless communication technologies such as LPWA (Low Power Wide Area). The angle of the pointer is calculated in the cloud, allowing for real-time bulk verification of meter values through a proprietary application. Since it is designed to be retrofitted to existing meters, it can be implemented at a low cost. Additionally, compared to camera-based methods, it achieves energy efficiency, space savings, and high-precision measurements that are not dependent on the measurement environment. It reduces the labor hours for fixed-point observations by workers and minimizes errors in visual reading and transcription, contributing to improved operational efficiency.
