Infrared-based Automatic Meter Reading in Nigeria

Background
This Nigerian electricity company is mainly engaged in power transmission and distribution. It has a large amount of installed electricity generation capacity. Traditional way to enter every house to read meters is far from efficient.
 
Challenges
  • Due to Nigerian geographic features and large population, manual meter reading is a heavy workload.
  • Coming into each house to read meters disturbs residents.
  • There is no effective management system to track meter readers’ performance.
  • Paper records are not easy to save and not convenient to query.
 
Solution
The company chose Chainway C71 mobile computer to facilitate electricity meter reading. Every meter is equipped with an infrared transceiver. Chainway infrared-enabled device sends infrared signals to the meter’s IR transceiver, instructs the transceiver to transmit its consumption, diagnostic, and status data to a central database for billing and analysis under wireless connectivity. This way automatic meter reading is achieved.
  
Effects
  • It realizes remote meter reading by infrared modules. Workers do not need to enter the property or home, or climb high to see the consumption or to locate and open an underground meter pit. Employee safety is enhanced.
  • Automatic meter reading eliminates laborious manual operations, significantly improves efficiency and accuracy.
  • All data can be transferred wirelessly in real time, and checked and managed any time in the backend system.
  • GPS feature requires employees to be onsite to collect data, thereby eliminating employee fraud.
