Reliable Optical Communication for Smart Metering
The AMI systems of the modern world demand the presence of consistent and precise data acquisition at the meter level. Reading of meters manually was time-consuming and inaccurate.
The optical probes of Tespro, such as TP-BT series and USB series, allowed retrieving the data automatically through optical ports and worked with a wide range of meter brands and protocols. Bluetooth and USB models provided the customization of the field and desktop usage.
Case
Product Case
One of the utility companies in Southeast Asia experienced aggravating bottlenecks in the data collection of their legacy meters-the incompatible nature of the devices and time-consuming nature of installing the drivers in the field slowed down the field operations to snail pace.
In search of an easy-going, user-friendly solution to consolidate the use of data capture in its electricity and water meter networks, the company resorted to the Tespro TP-TypeC series of optical probes, which are designed to capture the same in a TP-type.
The USB Type-C OTG interface of the TP-TypeC was a game-changer and allowed allowing the connection to laptops and tablets without additional drivers, i.e. a plug-and-play functionality that made technicians go online immediately.
It was highly magnetic therefore enabling fast installation on meters without use of tools, which is very troublesome. The 2 meters standard cable had easy range of operation in the field and the light weight design lowers the fatigue of technicians when doing their rounds on a daily basis.
The utility acquired 2,500 TP-TypeC probes to be used in cities in residential premises as well as the suburbs in industrial areas. The TP-TypeC probes were an answer in the urban residential data collection environment where frequent delays due to inefficient drivers had been a problem bane, and where retrofitting old meters would have been too costly in the suburban industrial areas.
The probes improved the process of data collection by eradicating delays that were caused by drivers. Moreover, rather than paying high integration costs in upgrading the previous meters, the utility realized a cost effective upgrading.
The case highlights the utility of TP-TypeC as a hassle-free utility digital upgrade, which is a 20-year-long dedication of Tespro to provide user-friendly and efficient energy data collection tools.
