Abstract :
To improve the efficiency and accuracy of metering, automatic meter reading (AMR) system has been discussed and used for a long time. AMR is the technology of automatically collecting data from water meter or energy metering devices (water, gas, electricity) and transferring the data to a central database for billing and/or analyzing. This means that billing can be based on actual consumption rather than an estimate based on previous consumption, giving customers a better control of their use of electric energy, gas usage, or water consumption. In this paper, a ZigBee AMR system called beeline of metering (BeMe) is described.
