Telecommunications & Utilities – Remote meter reading with T-Systems
Seize opportunities created by changing energy markets
T‑Systems offers utility companies an independent, intelligent infrastructure for remote meter reading. It covers the full range of requirements, from measurement data collection, verification and billing pre-processing right through to customer information.
Future statutory regulations will require energy providers to inform their customers of current consumption on a monthly basis.
In order to obtain these data at a reasonable cost, meters that automate data collection have to be installed everywhere. Qualified field service specialists are available to carry out the installation and maintenance. And T-Systems implements the data transmission via its high performance network infrastructure.
The shortened readout intervals generate large volumes of data, which T‑Systems processes with powerful IT systems and hands over to the energy providers in high quality. The analysis of load profiles can be used to develop new billing models that enable efficient load balancing.
Consumption information must be personalized and provided to the end customer in a secure manner. For this purpose, T‑Systems offers web portals where energy customers can call up their current consumption data. Report formats and statistical evaluations are also available.
