Efficient and accurate data collection through automated submetering

Automated submetering is the method used for the detailed recording and billing of consumption data, of energy and water for example, within separate units of a building, in a fully digital process with interoperable technology that can be read remotely. This change not only enables more accurate billing, but also targeted advice on the use of   water and energy. The precise consumption data collected by digital submetering gives metering service providers a basis for efficient billing systems and energy-efficiency advice.

FAQs about automated submetering for metering service providers

How do metering service providers benefit from automated submetering?

Automated submetering refers to the method of measuring energy and water consumption for the individual units of a building, with automatic data transfer and billing using remote reading. Metering service providers benefit from this as they are able to generate more accurate and fairer bills based on actual consumption. Integrating automated submetering also promotes energy efficiency, data transparency and the cost-effectiveness of their service.

How can automated submetering be integrated into existing systems?

Digital submetering solutions can often be seamlessly retrofitted into existing building structures. Metering service providers can use modern communication technologies such as M-Bus, wireless M-Bus, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN or LTE to build flexible, scalable digital submetering systems that automate the collection and processing of data.
