Online Meter Reading: Online meter reading processes are below ;

• This system requires a printer integrated handy termianal or handy terminal + printer, GPRS connection and a server.

• The staff downloads the assignment charts to their handy terminals via GPRS when they are in the field.

• Field staff starts reading the meters according to the assignment chart downloaded to their handy terminals. While reading the meters, they enter the meter number in the handy terminal. Depending on that number, the information is automatically downloaded to the handy terminal and the final consumption is entered in the handy terminal. Then the information calculated in the server realtime and the invoice is printed according to the info gathered from the server. All the subscribers are read this way.
  If the GPRS connection is not available where the subscriber accommodates, then the information of the subscribers is collected on the handy terminal and as soon as the GPRS connection is established, the calculation is made right away.

• Field staff does not need to go to the head quarter to transfer the data to the handy terminal from the server or vice versa. All calculation and the transfers are made via GPRS. This saves time for both staff in the field and for the company. Also the staff in the field is monitored in real time. (The readings, the consumed amount, etc.)
