Reliable Optical Communication for Smart Metering
Modern AMI systems require stable and accurate data capture at the meter level. Manual meter reading was time-consuming and error-prone.
Tespro's optical probes, including the TP-BT and USB series, enabled automatic data retrieval via optical ports, supporting various meter brands and protocols. Bluetooth and USB models offered flexibility for both field and desktop use.
Case
Product Case
Dec. 12, 2020 – An Egyptian client has purchased 10,000 TP-BT-IEC optical probes directly from our company, set to be deployed across urban power grids, smart meters, and remote industrial monitoring systems.
The probes are primarily used for IEC-compliant electricity, water, and gas meter data collection, with a standout USB storage function that eliminates the need for on-site laptops—data is stored locally and seamlessly transferred to computers post-collection.
The probes completely replace outdated manual meter reading, sparing workers from carrying bulky equipment and tedious paperwork in hot conditions. By streamlining the data collection process, they’ve boosted operational efficiency significantly while cutting labor costs for the client.
Feedback highlights unparalleled convenience and time savings, with the client praising the probes as a transformative solution that simplifies workflows and enhances data reliability.
